DS goes to full speed when pressing pedal!
1995 club car DS with the pot box style throttle box. The thing goes to full throttle when pressing the pedal. There is no in between. What’s wrong?

Re: DS goes to full speed when pressing pedal!
Did this just start all of a sudden?
Does it do it when lightly depressed or do you have to press it way down? |

The little rheostat lever inside the pot may have come loose. You can pop the cover off (under the cart) and inspect it. Jack up the rear of the cart and disconnect a battery cable before you begin this procedure.

Re: DS goes to full speed when pressing pedal!
I replaced the microswitch in the pot box and yes it has started after that. I will pull the cover and check it out tomorrow. It does take approx 1/3 -1/2 of pedal travel before the cart moves but when it does it spins the wheels in gravel. It takes off at full throttle (which is not that fast as it’s a stock series cart) and it’s not a pleasant driving experience.

Re: DS goes to full speed when pressing pedal!
I agree with Jake, loose or out of adjustment.
Where did you find that micro switch? |

Re: DS goes to full speed when pressing pedal!
Mooncarter, believe it or not I found it through a online electronics dealer that sold machinery electronics approx. 2 years ago . They actually had 2 of them left and I bought them both. Unfortunately, I installed the first one and then installed the diode backwards on the Solenoid. Fried it immediately. Stupid mistake but at least I had another so I installed it, made sure it worked (it did) and the cart has sat in the garage until now. Today was the first day I actually tried to move the cart not on jackstands.

Re: DS goes to full speed when pressing pedal!
Then why am I having so much trouble? Just kidding. I am the one who installed the diode backwards and fried one switch so that explains my troubles. I'll get it right eventually
