installed new cable set, no speed increase, may have broken F/R switch...
i tried a search and didnt really find anything helpful so, i have a 2001 48v DS and installed a new 4ga cable kit this morning, this cart is stock otherwise...
the cart was doing 11-12mph yesterday before the swap and is still doing 11-12 after the swap. this is my first build so i am hoping i didnt miss something or do something wrong, but it seemed simple at the time, remove orange cable, replace with new orange cable..etc.... also, while trying to remove the F/R switch the handle screw was stripped out and i incidentally turned the handle all the way around, now the switch isnt "tight" enough to switch from F to R with the handle alone, i have to flip up the seat and do it myself, is there a way to tighten this back up? the center of the switch just spins when the handle is used. any help is appreciated. |

Changing cables will not increase speed.

Your best bet is the motor. I have the same cart you do. It was at 12 mph stock. I bought the bandit motor replacement from plum quick. $285 to my door plus I still have my old working motor. May put it on eBay and see what I can get. 20 minutes to change it out. Now the cart does 19.6 mph and has a lot more torque. Best upgrade for the money in my opinion.

Any help on the switch? Can i fix it? Or am i going to have to buy a new one for $90+? Thanks |
