Default Trouble with electric Yamaha Golf Cart

I have an old electric Yamaha golf cart. It was running fine until today. The kids were riding it and they brought it up to me and the accelerator pedal was stuck in the midway position. When you pushed it all the way down the cart stopped and when you pulled it all the way up the cart would take off. I got under the cart and found a rod that runs from the pedal to a box in the middle of the cart. If I disconnect this rod the cart seems to be fine. The rod appears to be bent and out of adjustment. What is the box for? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum dreamn....................

Thats the speed control pot. The linkage has got to be right.

Disclaimer: I am not a Yamaha person, but I know it has got to be right because every brand of cart has some type or variation of these.

Welcome. The rod that runs from the accelerator pedal goes to the "speed controller". If you take the plastic cover off you will see the "moving arm" that is actuated by the accelerator rod by the pedal. Very often the "moving contact" will be "pitted and just worn out" and needs to be replaced to make good contact and not "stick". I've seen many times, the plastic arm broken also. If the moving contact and the "stationary" contacts are good, "starighten the actuating rod as best as you can and adjust the rod at the pedal so when you push the pedal to the floor, the arm and moving contact hit the very last stationary contact "ONLY". Then when you release the pedal the arm/contact come to rest on the very first contact. If any binding....fix it or your car will be "stuck" in an on position. Good luck Dave
