|  81 DS won't run I bought a 1981 ds today and it won't run. When I switch it on and select a gear, it moves an inch or two without touching the pedal and then just clicks when I depress the pedal. I also notice a spark in the selector switch when it moves from neutral. The coils also put off a good deal of heat that seems to me to be a problem. The previous owner said he feels it needs batteries but claimed it would run 2 or 3 hours on these last fall. Thanks in advance for your help. |

| Re: 81 DS won't run O.K. So today I charged it up for a while and when I jack up the rear, it will run forward when you shift it, without pressing the accelerator. Thanks in advance again. |

| Re: 81 DS won't run Thanks fellas... I'm gonna take it to the shop this week and let them get it straight. This cart is in kind of rough shape, but I think I'm gonna get it running first and deal with the cosmetics later. |
