did you check for burnt lugs on the F&R switch (Forward & reverse) if none then check a box under cart thats on the pass side bolted to the i-beam of the frame that the gas pedal rod turns in it's called a Potentiometer that tells the cart how fast to run or should i say how far you are pushing pedal down check that it has 2 wire plugs plugged in to it also they maybe lose

He doesn't have contacts. His switch is a rocker type F/R.

no, the switch isnt on the dash, its below the seat! i have checked inside the v-glide (or what ever its called)every thing appeared to look good, no burnt spots or any visual defects!

roady89

Thats right, I was mainly reffering to the rocker type switch and not the Series type switch. Either way it doesn't matter. He was reffering to a series type foward reverse switch. Yours does not have that type.

this may sound dumb but check it since new batts were installed.......if its a 48 volt cart the rear battery on pass. side should have a 10 gage red wire along with the pos. battery cable........you might be charging only 5 batteries i can,t tell you how many times i have seen this wire put back in the wrong place........another thing is if the batts are brand new there is a break in period of 12 or so charge/discharge cycles before the batts. come up to 100% when they do the cart will get faster and you,ll notice it.....but check that 10 gage wire and make sure its in the right locarion......................

if it's got a flip switch then it's a IQ if it has a black handle it's a DS mine is a 04 and it has a black handle sorry for any confusion

1. your pedal can wear and not be engaging fully. With car off, push pedal down, it should give a faint click fairly quick.

2. the outermost microswitch on your f/r switch may be faulty, forcing the car into permanent half speed.

3. shadowmans answer

4. interior motor issues. (not likely)

Sure you have the right batts. 8volts, sounds silly but I have heard of this happening before!

If you put in an aftermarket controller than you may have to disable the regen solenoid or it becomes a big heat coil and the cart run very slow.
