Club Car DS resistor cart solenoid question

[DCSSBoyd]

I have a 36 volt DS with the resistors. It burned up the first solenoid. I replaced it and the input wire from F/R switch. Running great. I charged the batteries & now the cart is bucking like a wild bull. I know that ideally you replace all solenoids together, but this cart is on a budget. Any ideas on what is causing the stop to full throttle acceleration? I'm thinking maybe we dropped another solenoid but I haven't had time to go check it out. Or maybe swap the first & last solenoids? Thanks for the help.

The 1st is usually the Master solenoid and then you have one for each incremental step thereafter. The last is WOT.

Sounds like the master is cutting in and out hench bucking.Did you buy a good quality solenoid?Might want to double check everything that was fired.Could have a bad limit switch also

This cart had so much wrong with it, I am surprised that it ever ran. It was brought to me because the gas & brake pedals had been pushed out of their brackets underneath the cart. There were 2 solenoids that weren't fully engaging, 4 of the speed box wires were corroded on solenoids and intermittently losing continuity. There was a bad micro switch on speed box. The key switch was cut and spliced back together with nothing but electric tape. It fell out in mid trouble shooting, causing a long delay. The real kicker was that the f/r switch was wired to the wrong side of the solenoids. I didn't see that at first because I wasn't expecting anything that obviously wrong on a running cart. Lesson learned on assuming a running cart equals a properly maintained cart.

All good now?

I have seen worse.

I wouldn't discount the motor brushes and / or brush springs. If those brushes / springs are only making intermittent good contact then a cart will buck.

Rule #1, always assume the seller is lying through their teeth when buying used up stuff. This is why I will intentionally but non-running stuff. At least I know what I'm getting... something used up and blown up. Much rather build it myself so I know it's done right than expect it to be working, and then spend a bunch of time to find it's actually a pos that someone cobbled together just enough to make it run and drive for a quick buck.
