|  DE-3 Harley Wiring 12V batteries Hello, New to the forum and carts. Sorry for my ignorance. I received this 1978 DE-3 cart with no idea if it runs or not. Someone had installed 3 12V batteries into the front assuming to make 36V but I am unsure if they ever had it running as I tested the batteries and there is clicking when operating the pedal but no movement, I disconnected and jumped power to the motor to ensure it operates and it spins freely. I am just lost Here is image of what I have going on. I have read the best is to use 6 - 6V batteries but before I get to deep into spending I would like to just make sure it is going to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

| Re: DE-3 Harley Wiring 12V batteries motor test  WARNING you don't want to make a big spark anywhere near the battery. note : use 2 wrenches on motor studs to keep them from spinning |

| Re: DE-3 Harley Wiring 12V batteries Not yet, I will do that next. Does the way they have the 3 batteries connected look correct? Thank you for the help! |

| Re: DE-3 Harley Wiring 12V batteries Found problem with B and C Solenoids so I picked up a couple from Auto parts store locally. However the runs for a bit then quits and you have to let it cool off for a minute or so then will drive again. Parts store said they were continuous duty solenoids but do I need to buy special ones from cart parts supplier? Are they something special? Thanks for all the help. |

| Re: DE-3 Harley Wiring 12V batteries OK thanks, I'll go through the motor. And maybe just buy the solenoids from a Cart parts source. |
