Default 3-Wheel, Forward dies

I have an EZ-GO 3 Wheel Golf Cart and I don't exactly know the year, but from what I've found thus far it should be between the years '89 & '94. It has a speed controller.
Problem is when in Forward, if you press the accelerator to the floor, it dies out down to a stop but runs OK at about have pedal. When in Reverse, it works fine with the accelerator in any position.
Any Ideas?

Sounds like the throttle pot goes out of range during throttle up.

Your cart should have a double micro on one side. It's for 1/2 speed reverse which might be why reverse "seems normal".

So check the pot and all of the micros.

This also assumes you've checked all battery and motor/controller cable connections and the battery interconnect cables and all are in good shape. And of course your batteries are good.

Thanks, PGGROVES! I first tested the potentiometer and found that it went from 0 - 7500. I adusted linkage to get it down to around 6000. Cart seems to run fine. Should I get this on down to 5000.

Touchy little buggers. I usually keep "trying" until I get it to a max of 5.5k.

Glad it worked out for ya'.

Happy cartin'
