Default 97 club car surge

I have a 97 club car, new batteries and charger. Cart seems to surge at half pedal. Runs fine wide open16 + mph. Any ideas?

You likely have a v glide throttle system. It has contact pads in it. The likely need cleaned and adjusted.

A lot of different stuff came from Club Car in 1997. What do you have?

Unless it has been upgraded, that cart, from my understanding has a lot of obsolete parts that must be upgraded.

Sounds like a possible potentiometer problem to me.

Dave at "Revolution Golf Cars" one of out sponsors here, is the expert on that upgrade. Click on his website above under "Site Sponsors." He has everything you need for that. However, I think he is on vacation for a few more days.

Unless there is a "pie shaped box" between your batteries (some Regen 1's were that way) you have a CVP (continuously variable potentiometer) under the floor near the pedal. Those have not been manufactured for many years. They "can" be serviced/cleaned/inspected to some degree because the cover is removable (see attachment). Failing that - It can also be replaced completely using a modern MCOR "Kit" (see here).
