Default Re: E-Z-GO RXV Solenoid - 48 Volt Solenoid to Replace 36 Volt Solenoid...

I'm seriously confused as to why there is a 36 volt solenoid on an RXV that has a battery bank of 48 Volts. Doesn't really make sense to me.


Nevertheless, my biggest question is - Can i replace the 36 volt Trombetta solenoid with a heavy duty Rodgers 48 volt solenoid?? I know that getting it to fit down with the cover is an issue, but I'm just focusing on the question of whether it will work or not and not damage anything?

Attached a photo of the stock solenoid below. Sorry, I know it's sideways

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance gang
A 36V solenoid is normal. The Main PWM setting sets the average voltage to the Main Coil (solenoid). If you change to a 48V solenoid, you may need to have the Main PWM setting adjusted for a reliable solenoid pull-in. They hit the solenoid harder to get it to pull in then taper it back to a lower setting to keep the solenoid cooler.
