Newbie - Hello and a question or two

malligood50 · 07-10-2008, 01:50 PM

Hello to the site, what a valuable source of info! Just purchased my first cart , it is a 98 CC 48V series, I have determined that from what I've read here. It has 06 Trojan T86 batteries and at full charge they are all around 9.2 - 9.3 V. Has headlights, tail lights, flip down rear seat. I gave $1200 for it and feel like that was pretty good. The cart runs about 13 mph on flat ground and struggles some on steep hills. I've been looking the cart over making sure everything is tight, noticed on the FNR that the blue and orange wires revolve with the switch , is that normal or should they be tight? Also all 4 tires have worn evenly on the out/inside edges, I'm thinking this was an air pressure issue rather than an alignment issue, any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Mack

Welcome malligood50!

Sounds like the right diagnosis on the tires.
