36 Volt Electric Club Car "Shudder" Help
I have just purchased a 1993 electric Club Car that has a distinct "shudder" that begins after about 20 feet of driving. It smooths out at increased speeds and runs fine until you decrease speed and then re-accelerate. I cleaned and serviced the V-Glide and it seems to work properly.
The cart has what appears to be a Curtis 1204 controller. Couple of questions: Could the controller be the cause of the shuddering, and is there a way to test the controller? I was hoping I would not have to replace the controller to diagnose the "shuddering" issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

How old are the batteries...Normally shuddering is a sign that they are bad...

Put your meter on pack positive and negative, drive it and watch what the voltage drops to...Then do the same for each battery...

Re: 36 Volt Electric Club Car "Shudder" Help
Not sure what you’re considering a shudder, but when I first built mine, it would get up to speed and on smooth surfaces you could feel it slow down (like someone shut off a couple batteries) then it would speed back up like they were switched back on..... when on rough surfaces I could not notice it... I traced it to bad brushes in my motor. Not saying that’s your problem, but at the age it might be.
