Little Lag

Cmoney · 06-29-2012, 08:07 AM

So I have noticed that when i go and push on the gas in my cart, there is about a 3 second lag before it turns on and goes. Sometimes if i press "just right" it will go right away. There is also a "click" noise when it does start to go... any ideas on how i can "tune" this up and get rid of the lag.
thanks,
C

many things can cause this "lag" you speak of...loose starter belt, bad starter brush or brushes, faulty microswitch, weak battery, loose connection on solenoid(which is what is clicking when pedal is depressed...

The solenoid is in the black box by the battery right?

Correct

Well, I checked and tightened the Solenoid and the starter belt is about as tight as can be... no slippage. So i am thinking i should replace the micro switch next and see but do i have a two or three terminal one? And are they difficult to replace, i saw it in the black box next to the solenoid, didn't look hard.
thanks,

Anyone have an idea on that micro switch?

Ok then!

Could just be the strater brushes like was mentioned above. the next time it dosnt start on the first try try getting up and turning the starter a little by hand and then try to restart with the peddle. You may have a dead spot. I'm not saying this is your problem Im just giving you something to try.

Thanks

Thanks!! I'll try that, but I want to replace the switch, they are cheap enough. You know what one I need?

sorry lost track of this post...On a DS model there are two microswitches stacked on topin the pedal box where the solenoid is located..I've never asked but I'm assuming thats what you have. The one on top should have three post and the one on bottom have two.
