[ahmjam]

i have a ezgo dcs 36 volt im having problems figuring out. on the lift it goes forward and reverse but seems to be over rpm of most carts i have worked on.down on ground it wont go and a1 cable gets very hot i did get it to go by pushing cart once on road it felt like it was going 30 mph i have changed all componets controller ,pot,sol, all out of a running cart i changed motor but had to use the end with the brushes from the problem cart so this still could be a problem area. has anyone had a simular problem should i change motor and what years will work i have some older motors that will bolt up but wiring studs a1,a2 s1 s2 are a little diff thanks for any help Woody

Only a DCS motor will work.... I think you have a bad controller.
Have you gone through the basic step by step DCS diagnostics posted on this website?

Why not try just one part at a time?

i took one part at a time from this cart and switched with a working cart and everthing worked fine on the working cart i did not change motors i have sold that cart that worked and tring to get this one working correct the only thing left is something in motor right????

this cart still has no low torque and a-1 wire gets hot and melting same problem i started with i have worked on a lot of carts never seen this problem i was hoping one of you guys had a simular problem i do appreciate the help it sucks when your out of ideas Woody

why not pull the motor and just take a look inside the power and heat issue could be a related problem and motor parts are replaceable so there might not be a need to just replace whole unit..........................
