ezgo nogo

whats up new to forum
Ive searched for months looking for answers for my electrical nightmare.
I have a 92 ezgo marathon I checked the batteries 6 volts each, check wiring looked wired wrong. before I changed it I had 36 volts at solinoid now I have about 24 now. I changed the resistor that was wired from solinoid to pot, now its lg terminal to terminal. Changed resistor wired same from sm terminal to terminal. Checked pot reads 4.5 to 9.6 at full throttle I know thats not wright. My original problem was it would go for about 2 feet then stop. I bought the cart like this. The previous owner replaced the pot. Before I changed anything I checked the solinoid had 36 vlts pushed the pedal untill the cart stopped had about 5 vtls at solinoid could someone help me this mess????

Your pot should read 0-5k ohms. 0 being no throttle and 5k being wide open. You need to get a wiring diagram and double if not tripple check all your conections. There may be one here on the forums...if not someone can find one.

I believe this is your schemo for a 92 fleet controller cart.

Good luck.

The diagram you provided doesnt show alot for the solinoid wiring. The diagram I have show more detail on the solinoid. And Ive tri checked it. Could the resistor be wrong causing the different vlts ?

Are you checking the throttle with the meter set on Volts? If so, Place the meter on Ohms and check the throttle.

No Im checking on ohms. It doesnt read anything on vlts.

This may be a long shot, but jack the rear wheel up, have someone press the pedal down, while they are doing that check each batteries voltage. Every so often I've seen batteries that drop plates and they will reverse voltage with a load. So you will have a 36v pack, then one battery will go like -12 giving you the mentioned symptoms..

If you want to test potentiometer, you can create a jumper wire for the two terminals on the speed controller that lead to pot. However, if you do this be warned that it will go full speed and only full speed (but verifies the controller and batteries are good).
