Default EZGO txt series cart is slower in reverse???

Hello, I have a 97 ez-go txt series cart and i notice it goes slower in reverse. Just recently i also noticed that reverse is acting up. It works most all the time but there has been a few times where it doesn't. Does anyone know what would be causing this? Thx......

Most all carts use a half speed reverse, disconnect the orange wire at the F&R micro switch.... Check the same switch for intermittent failure relating to you go/no go situation.

Thx, I will check that out in the morning.. what is causing the "no reverse" scenario? I can hear the click when i depress the pedal but it just doesn't go.

Scotty, series carts don't have a governor, so can't slow down in reverse. I agree with little bob, It sounds like you have a F/R problem. It is under the smaller black cover in front of the controller, and has one bolt on top to remove the cover.

The half speed is by the controller when it sees voltage on the orange wire.

maybe they do have half speed reverse, the series carts I have driven go full speed, but I mainly deal with PDS models.
