Hello! Newbie here. Just bought a 1988 Club Car DS. I'm trying to learn as much as I can.

Please see attached image.

Is this copper bracket across the solenoids normal? Is it OEM? I'm just wondering if the seller did this to hide a non-functioning solenoid? He claimed the only modification he made was installing all new solenoids across the board.

The cart also fails to reach speeds above 10.5 mph and I'm trouble shooting all I can to make sure this is normal. I was thinking 12-14mph would be more likely when I purchased the cart. Thanks in advance for any wisdom!
