Forward/Reverse Switch
Good day all, I am converting my old Yamaha 36 Volt Series with Alltrax SR 48500 and D&D HP Motor. Can I use the DS heavy duty forward/reverse switch even though it is for a 48 volt system? I know this well need a heavier switch than the stock switch.
I also posted on the Yamaha thread and hope that was not wrong. I believe, though, that the new motor I am putting in is from the old model club car, and the wiring is all new. I am doing a total upgrade. I just wanted to know if I can use a DS48 Volt forward/reverse switch in my conversion. |

Re: Forward/Reverse Switch
Since there are no 48v series Yamahas, there are no yamaha 48v HD F&R switches. So, no, I'd say that's not gonna work.

Re: Forward/Reverse Switch
If you are converting everything, why not change to sepex? I believe you can do that if you are running all new wiring. However if you already bought the controller and motor, I guess this does not really help.

Re: Forward/Reverse Switch
Technically the answer is yes. You can use any manual rotary style F&R switch from any make or model if you have the skills to mount and wire it correctly... Because series is series regardless of whose name is on it.
Case in point, I adapted an Ezgo TXT type F&R in a Yami. It wasn't fun - but it can be done. |

Re: Forward/Reverse Switch
A PB-6 throttle signal is self contained 2 wire system. Both wires go to the controller.
It may also have a micro switch on it that activates the solenoid or ? From your posts we cannot tell exactly what cart you are working on and what your question is. |

Re: Forward/Reverse Switch
Thank you; I have the pb6 installed, I just had to do a lot of adjusting to the pedal, but it seems to be ok. With the SR48500 the two wires from the throttle to the controller should work, I believe the controller will activate the solenoid.
I have replaced all the wiring in this old g2 Yamaha. The only thing left will be the key switch, but I don't know about the half speed reverse. Would you have any advise on that subject? I really appreciate your advice, this is my first attempt at modifying a cart! Roger |

Re: Forward/Reverse Switch
So, it's all working, but you would like 1/2 speed reverse? If so, that should be little problem
probably just linking the pink wire to the controllers "reverse" terminal. |
