1989 EZGO Spirit "stuttering" ?

endoman

Once again, thanks in advance for all the help here.

The cart was a gift. It has six new 6 volt batteries (three months old). I also replaced all the battery cables with new ones (6 gauge)

It's run pretty good until recently.

The last few times we've used it it's been "stuttering" upon acceleration. It's OK when running at open throttle but it sure does jump around at partial throttle.

Based on what I've read here it sounds like the solenoid.

Am I on the right track or totally off base?

If it is the solenoid, where is it and what does it look like?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

If the cart is shuddering upon acceleration, it is usually the sign of a bad battery. Get a volt meter and check the batteries. A volt meter and a hydrometer are handy to have.

just a shot in the dark, but could it be a bad connection between the brushes and armature??
