93 Club Car DS wont run - V-glide issue???

[CroZure]

I have a 93 Club Car DS that was sent in for repairs about 3 years ago. I had a local shop install new Resistor Board and coils, new v glide, all new wires, new solenoid, and new batteries. Everything worked fine for about 1 year then I started noticing the golf cart stalling when it hits the first plate. Then shortly, the whole v-glide quit working. Does anybody have any recommendations on how to troubleshoot this issue before I purchase the parts?

check the v-glide for proper fit and wear

Thanks for the diagram! I'm going to have to get a new v glide for sure. Is it normal for a v glide to burn out after a few years. I heard that it is pretty common but that seems pretty often. I hope I can change it myself too. Here is a few pictures of the burnt v glide.

I'm afraid you are beating a dead horse.
Convert it to solid state or forever repair failure after failure.

I'm pretty sure I know the best solution for a solid state conversion too!

I have one in working order.....but I broke the bottom mounting area when I took it off converting to Solid state. It's yours if you want it.

yes it is easy to replace
it looks like it was the arm not being tight to v-glide

i do agree with scottyb that a solid state conversion s a good idea

Thanks for all of the advice. This cart is a ds with resistor coils and doesn't have a controller. Can you convert these into a solid state? I called a local shop and asked them if they could do it for me. They said that you can't convert the old Resistor coil club carts to a solid state but it apears that you can from what I saw online.

I converted hundreds of these carts to solid state. Here are links to why and how
