1997EZGO TXT 36v Series Slow to Respond to Pedal

[Jindy]

New to me, 1997 EZGO TXT 36v Series Cart

Issues: When you first press pedal it does not respond (either in Forward or Reverse) You can hear solenoid click but cart doesn't move. If you press the pedal multiple times (4-5) OR just hold pedal down (couple of seconds) it eventually responds. After driving it for a few minutes it works completely normal until sitting again for awhile. Almost as if it has "warmed up" or like a capacitor had to pre-charge. Cart came with new (10/21) batteries.

After replacing the following, issue still exists:
4g Cables
New Solenoid
New Pedal Micro Switch
NEW Inductive Throttle Sensor
Bypassed Reed Switch
Cleaned/Replaced all wires & terminals.
Cleaned F/R Switch and checked tightened all connections

Pack Voltage 38.2
Individual Batteries 6.7 or 6.8

Any thoughts? (I've searched Forum and run down anything previously mentioned)
