87 cc wont go solenoids dont click

When you took picture number 4 and 6 it shows that you have NO CONNECTION from MASTER SOLENOID ( one with white and blue cables connected ) to the rest of the speed solenoids on each bank? Usually its flat brass stock with holes drilled to match solenoids? Had you taken them off to do testing or replacements?

yes sorry i took off the buss bar that connects all the solenoids. im going to try and draw out my wiring diagram and post it soon as well.

I thought so, but wondered if you had some other special kind of connections. Yes diagram would be great.

bigbear, how fast does cart run?...........................

[bigbear1504]

right now 0!! Lol I have had a gps on it up to 28mph on a flat straight away.

so if i read this right if you have two complete resistor style systems you can run them seperately to avoid overloading resistors and still apply 48/60 volts to motor? nothing special in the way the are hooked to motor or the way they are wired other than there is two sets as opposed to one?

[bigbear1504]

correct. i will post a wiring diagram today. the two sets of solenoids simply split the the voltage. before i installed two sets i was burning up solenoids almost as fast as i could install them since installing the second set of 5 i havent burned up even one in over two years.

that would be awesome, intend to set mine up exactly like yours so post that diagram asap plz

If you are getting 28 MPH on a cart with old style micro speed control and 2 banks of resistores and solenoids I just wonder what you would be able to do with modern speed control and solid state controller? Of course at top speed ALL the resistors and 8 solenoids are out of line so you could really be getting much better full range of power from 10=6 volt batterys ( each T-145 Trojan 260 AMPS rated 60 volts TOTAL ), or 8=8volt batterys ( Trojan T-890 190 AMP Rated total 64 volts ) rather than 5=12 volt batterys ( Trojan T-1275 150 AMPS Rated Total 60 Volts )?

im not sure. i know i used 12volts because i couldnt afford 10/6volt batteries nor was i sure how i would fit them all in. Im working on the wiring diagram now boy this is tuff to draw out & not confuse everyone. LOL
