Arching wire
Was hearing arching from under the seat when gently pressing the gas pedal on my 02 36v cart. Found where a wire going from the V glide to The resistor bar has melted the bar and the nut the wire is attached to is kind of floating. When I push the pedal, I can see it arching.
What can I do? Thanks Scott |

Re: Arching wire
Replace all the melted pieces or convert it to solid state speed control.

Re: Arching wire
I'd highly recommend converting to solid state. Very much worth it in the long run.

Re: Arching wire
Thanks for the info,.conversion certainly sounds like the way to go but this is a second cart we have, not sure I want to put all that into it right now. There's a bar running across.that each wire from the v glide bolts to a coil. One of those has melted the bar leaving the nut with wire attached to cool almost dangling. Gonna try to figure out how to.relair that spot, just dont know what s causing the burn and arching.
Thanks |

Re: Arching wire
Will see if I can get a wrench on it, after I disconnect the batteries.
