Default 2006 EZGO TXT PDS- starts then stalls?

Hey Guys. Happy 4th.

I got a stock ezgo for our family this past Christmas. Since that time, I have added new batteries, tires, lift, light bar, etc. It has become a great cart to have fun with around our farm and neighborhood.

Yesterday we rode it around and all was well...but this morning it is starting for just a second then dies out. Checked all the batteries and no issues with them. I can hear the solenoid clicking every time pedal is pushed. Occasionally before now you would have to push the pedal 3-4 times before it would start to go but this seems different.....it starts to want to go but doesn't make it two feet before it stalls.

Is this a controller issue? Big Tires have taken it down? If so, what controller can I buy to avoid these issues in the future. Cost?

Thanks

By the way this is a 36 volt cart with 6 new trojan batteries.

Thanks

Not necessarily the controller. Could be other things like micro switches or the its petal. The experts will be along to steer you in the right direction and then give a recommendation to the tests and parts but will suggest the upgrade to a 500amp alltrax I am sure if that's what's needed. Won't burn out that controller and will get back your lost speed from big tires.

Charge the cart up and give us some voltage readings.....

Did you charge the cart after driving it a lot yesterday?

Sounds like a battery power issue. The cart motor is the best load tester you can get.
Get a multimeter and connect to the pack. Note the voltage then try to go and note the drop in voltage.
Post those results here.

Yes, charged over night. So should have a full charge. Going to pick up a multimeter today and see what I find. I will report back on that tonight.

Hey guys. I tested each individual battery and all were in 6.35 range. Take me thru how I can test it when I go? Wasn't clear on that. Thanks

So here is what I can tell so far. Voltage to the controller is 37.5 on a full charge. When I hit the pedal in F or R the solenoid clicks and the cart starts to go. Volts to the controller drop to low 20's when I hit the pedal but bounce back up to 37 quickly.

Then the cart stalls and won't move unless I wait for a moment and try the process again.
