94 DS no power after bad solenoid
The history on this cart is I got it for free.
It had bad 8v batteries in it which I replaced with the same. It ran great for a year good power long run time etc. Then the solenoid hung up when it was parked. I got the batteries charged back and they test good as best as i can test them. Issue is no power at all can barley go 3 mph. Once i started researching i figured out that apparently it hadn't been converted correctly because it still has resistor coils and a v glide. I have been testing wires and starting to test resistors. I'd like to know what I need to do to convert it correctly to 48v while I'm fixing it. Thanks |

Re: 94 DS no power after bad solenoid
Someone on here can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the 94 was only a 36V model. Especially since it has the resistor coils and vglide.
The first step would be to truly check the batteries. Check out this post: http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...batteries.html You'll need a good DVM with some alligator clips to check the entire pack under load and under no load. Then do the same check (load/no load) on each individual battery. Use this chart to determine charging status and then report back your findings. http://nebula.wsimg.com/c41b6da2e417...&alloworigin=1 As for upgrading correctly, contact ScottyB at CartsUnlimited or Tahoedawg71 at Revolution Carts. They both can point you in the right direction. I just finished my coil/vglide upgrade to electronics with the help of ScottyB. As soon as my batteries go, I'll be upgrading to 48V. |

Re: 94 DS no power after bad solenoid
It was a 36v and somebody put 8v batteries in it in place of the 6v they didn't even upgrade the charger. That's why I wound up with it free it wouldn't run long on a charge because it was being at 36v.

Re: 94 DS no power after bad solenoid
I'm having trouble with my photobucket account. It looks like any standard resistor coil cart with the exception of having 8 volt batteries.
It has 1 solenoid and the set of coils |

Re: 94 DS no power after bad solenoid
Are you sure it has only 1 solenoid?

Re: 94 DS no power after bad solenoid
Yes just 1 solenoid. I replaced it with a 48v rated one when the 36 went bad

Re: 94 DS no power after bad solenoid
Well I got my cart running again I had forward and reverse wires switched. That gets me going for now I think I'm going to look for a better cart in the future instead of upgrading this one.
Thanks for all you guys help! |
