| ![]() Different carts and years of carts have different "throttle" systems. What year and model of cart are we talking about? |

| ![]() In the second picture, the 250 Ohm resistor is attached across the main terminals of the solenoid. It looks like you have a Controller style Marathon. Here is a schematic for it with the solenoid activation circuit traced out. I concur with Kab, if the solenoid contacts are welded closed, turning on the key-switch would turn on the controller and away it would go. How fast it will go depends on how well the throttle potentiometer is adjusted for zero with pedal up. ![]() As you now know, it is a good idea to block wheels or jack the rear ones off ground when working on cart. ![]() |
