Alltrax equipped not moving until half throttle

AugustaResident · 01-23-2009, 07:18 PM

I just noticed today that the Precedent will not move until the throttle has been depressed about halfway down.

Scotty......you may can answer this. Can't I change the throttle curve to take care of this? Didin't you do the same thing on yours?

Also, in reverse, I hit the throttle and nothing happens. Hit is again and it comes alive. My Son said that happened a couple times in forward the other day.

Sounds like the MCOR is beginning to act up...

Craig, just curious can you hear the solenoid engage and when does it engage.

Hmmm, Good question. I'll check that in the morning. It is not really a problem, just a nag ya know!

Craig,

I spoke with Robbie about a possible motor and he mentioned something about if your Cart is stuck, let's say going uphill, to release the pedal and then re-engage the pedal otherwise you'll overheat the motor if the pedal is held down too long. Not quite the same thing but wouldn't want you to burn anything out.

It sounds lie an MCOR problem..... possibly intermittent output or off the correct ohm scale somehow? Use the site search there is a thread on troubleshooting the MCOR out put....Seems to me to be the place to start with this one

Here's the thread with the MCOR test procedure...

POKE HERE

The MCOR conversion kit I installed in my 1996 DS did a similar thing not long after getting the cart running.. Step on the "GO" pedal, solenoid clicked but no go.. Pump the pedal a few times and it would start working again.. I removed the access cover and drove the cart, when the problem reappeared, I watched the LED on the controller.. The controller was flashing the code for the throttle being out of range.. Took the MCOR back to the dealer I got the kit from, and got it swapped out under warranty..
