Default By pass pedal switch

I have an old Yamaha golf cart. I think it's a g1a. I can't get the motor to spin at all. I have been told by the local golf cart repair guy at our golf course that it may be the pedal switch. He looked st all his part sources here in Canada and can't get me a switch. I only use this on my acreage and by adults so I would like to know how to bypass the pedal even if I have to put a manual switch on the dash. Can anyone help me please.

Is he sure its the pedal switch or is he guessing? First and foremost check your battery and make sure it has the required voltage (12v is dead so it must be around 12.5-12.8v to crank the starter over). If the battery is good then move onto checking the pedal switch. When you press the pedal do you hear a clicking noise from the solenoid? If you do then can rule out the pedal switch. If you don't hear a click when you press the pedal down then look at the solenoids and check for 12v while you press the pedal. If you have 12v at the solenoid when you press the pedal then once again you can rule out the pedal switch. If you have 12v at the solenoid and no click when you press the pedal then you want to check and see if your solenoid is bad. If you hear a click when you press the pedal and have 12v at the solenoid you can then rule out the solenoid and then move on to checking your starter. Worn out brushes are common. There is a good sticky on how to check your starter. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/gas-y...ator-test.html. Hope this is helpful and hope its something simple for you.

To give a bit more clarity, you should have two solenoids on that cart; one for F and one for R. With the key switch is on and the gas pedal is pressed one of those solenoids should be getting 12v to the smaller terminals on top of the solenoids. Simply take a voltage meter and check for 12v there. If one of those solenoids is getting 12v in this scenario then your pedal switch is good. If not it may be bad but there could be other problems as well like Molon Labe describes.

Thanks for the clarity Lochlin. I should have been more specific on where to check the voltage at.
