Default 2012 Drive starting issue/ hesitation

Hey guys,
I'm working on a 2012 drive, and hoping for some insight.

The issue is that when the pedal is pressed it sometimes will not turn over. sometimes you can try again and it turns over and runs as it should. Other times it will turn over, but does what I call a "twitch" or rapidly engages and disengaged.

I've swapped the the relay for a known good one, checked my battery connections and voltage and have the same result. I have found when the pedal is pressed, but the cart isn't cranking I'm only getting 2-3 volts on the positive post on the solenoid.

Sound like anything you've ran into?
Any help is appreciated.

If you mean you are only getting 2-3 volts at the small red post when it wont turn over...I would check the stop switch which is located behind your gas pedal and acts like a microswitch that sends power to the solenoid. Factory where they were made was flooded overseas and is a common failure due to them being submerged...or so I'm told...and I change them often here at my shop on Drive Gas carts...Check for voltage in and out with pedal pressed...

Have you tried to load test the battery? It may have 12 volts resting but does it drop out when you hit the pedal?

Thanks ya'll. I did check the stop switch, but will give it another look when I get it in the shop.

Sorry for the delay guys. I did replace the stop switch. Seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks!
