36v to 48v conversion on 2000 ds club car.
Just bought a 2000 ds. I think it has been converted to a 48v.
My problem is when I step on the go pedal and hear the first click then depress the pedal just a little more The machine will snap your head back. Too much torque. Has a 700 amp. controler. This old coddger can"t handle this! What's wrong? What can I do? |

If you have the wrong throttle type the cart and the control will not sync.
What is the model # of the controller? |

Re: 36v to 48v conversion on 2000 ds club car.
Since the cart starts off at full throttle you will need to test the throttle signal. We know it should be around 5000 to start and near 0 when the pedal is on the floor.
Simply remove the 2 small wires plugged into the controller pins #2&3 and plug your test meter into these spade connectors. Set the meter to ohms. A 20,000 Ω range is best. But any reading such as 5.5 would represent 5500Ω |

The grandson here! The wire connected to the wiper is now on #3 and wire furthest away is on #2 . Cart acts normal no hard take off in forward or reverse now . Operates smooth . And since the cart was a 36 to 48 conversion I can't find any descent diagrams.

Re: 36v to 48v conversion on 2000 ds club car.
The controller was made by Logisystems for BU. We sold them for a while. The company folded up a few years ago. If the control fails the FSIP GE control I showed would be the closest replacement but, the Alltrax SR48500 would be the best replacement for a few dollars more. Enjoy the ride

Re: 36v to 48v conversion on 2000 ds club car.
Well, it seems that I still have a little jump. But no near the JERK I had before.
When I press the go pedal and hear the click and press a wee little more the cart will roll slowly, press a wee bit more it will jump a little and go. Very annoying! Please don't tell me this is normal. Checked the springs and u-bolts and seems to be tight. Could it be a backlash in the splines on motor or axles that I'm hearing? |
