New To Me DS

[murk09]

I just purchased, a "I believe 2000" CC DS. The Serial # is A0027-902683, for all those don't mind lending some advice, I'm all ears. I bought it sight unseen because I felt like it was a great deal when looking at the used cart market. Well they told me when I pick it up, that the charger doesn't charge the batteries, but they charged them individually. to get it to run. Well it works, and I figure I know enough to be dangerous and can get it in prime running condition again. Well we get home and it barely moves, my main question is, where should I start? Thanks for all advice.

First thing, check the voltage of the batteries.

Clean and inspect all cables for corrosion .

Post some pictures, dangit. We loves the pictures. These guys are pros and will get you running in no time. How old are the batteries? Yes it's a 2000. If it's 36v and needs batteries, might be a good time to convert to 48v.

It's 48 and the batteries are fairly new, 2016. I work for a power distribution company and yesterday we were in the middle of a hurricane, so I've had no time to really troubleshoot.

4 years old is pretty old for batteries, especially if they're not high quality. I don't know who makes those particular batteries. You really need to check pack and individual voltage, but I suspect Mooncarter is right. Simple Green will clean up the seats, and when you're ready, recover kits are pretty inexpensive.

if it is a 2000 then it a 2000.5 .seat back were split in early 2000 along the the hip restraint were tubes and roof supports were straight.

I’ll check voltage and clean it up when I get home today. What I want the most though is to get rid of the rear seat and back to the original club holders. I’m having the hardest time finding a basket and original club straps though. Everything I see seems to be made to add to a rear seat.

Maybe you can find someone that wants to swap with you locally.

Post a Want to Buy (WTB) in the Golf Carts and Parts section of the forum. I'm betting someone has removed the basket/straps to put in a rear seat and still has them in the garage. I have a set for a 1990 but they wouldn't fit your cart. You may also want to contact a few of your local golf cart shops. They may have the parts for the same reason.
