Got it running correctly. Went to Radio Shack and bought a 5k potentiometer for $3. Wired it up in place of the regular one and made a long cable and then just got in the cart pressed the pedal to engage the solenoid and rotated the pot. Slowly went from slow to full speed. Pot only really went up to 4.7 so I think I can get a little more speed out of her with a real replacement. Couple questions.
Where should I buy a pot from? Would this one work?

Any better vendors I should consider?
Also when I let off the pedal it doesn't motor brake. Should the Curtis 1204-17 motor brake? Looks like all the posts on the connector are connected correctly.
One more thing. The reverse buzzer isn't working. Power is going to it but no buzzing. I'd like to get this working again but don't want a buzzer. Is there something else that would chime or make a different sound?
Thanks.
