![]() I have a 82 club car Im messing around with. If you press the gas pedal in slowly it runs slower than it should. If you press it hard and fast it will take off at normal speed.
You can also let off and then press it hard, and then it will speed back up. Has anyone dealt with this problem? Secondly, the charger just wants to click on and off, instead of stay on. Could those problems be related? Like a bad solenoid? Or bad charger. Other than that it looks and runs surprisingly well to be 33yrs old. Any help would be appreciated. |

Thanks for that quick reply. I'll do that tomorrow. I picked it up to tinker with and possibly sell when my other cart is done. Did I screw up and buy a headache, or are they pretty simple? |

![]() very ez to work on .. alumin frame ..you did good
a little info on how it works the first solenoid (drivers side) is the main it supplies power to the rest 2~5 are the speed controls with #5 full speed so when you press slowly one or more (2~4) are not engaging till you get full throttle #5 micro switches control the solenoids as for charger we need to know the brand |

![]() I jacked up the rear end to listen to the solenoids. I pressed the pedal half way, heard one click with no running, a little more on the second click the wheel starts turning, little more a third click and it speeds up some. And right before the pedal is to the floor I heard the fourth click.
Is this the normal operation? Two things I did notice was, 1. The coil closest to the passenger side was bent together some causing 3 of the coils to touch. I took a screw driver and straightened them up to separate them like the other two. 2. There was a small white wire disconnected, but I think it was just the reverse horn. I'll check a diagram to make sure. The charger was a lestron 2. I sanded the plug ends to get a good connection. I plugged it in and it started right up. About 15 seconds later it stopped for a few seconds, and then started back upwith a pop sound. There was also a flash of light from the side. I'm not using it again until I figure that out. |

![]() The diagram I found for my year doesn't match up completly. The speed switch limit switches aren't layed out separate. They all go into one grey box mounted at the front near the charge port and f/r switch.
edit- I found that all the switches do go into the box I think. How can I test the switches? All the solenoids clicked when I tested them with a direct connection to the positive terminal. That leads me to think it may be a switch. |

![]() I listened for the micro switches and I did only hear 4 clicks. The first switch when you first press the pedal is the one not clicking.
Is there a easy way to get to them? I'll order one, or stop by and see the old man that has alot golf cart Junk. I really appreciate the help, I like tinkering with the carts, but I'm new to it, so im starting out blind. The resistor cart does seem alot less complicated. |
