1988 Par car only goes in reverse
I have a 1988 Par Car gas cart that will only go in reverse.
Had the generator tested and it seems to be fine but the generator hesitates to go forward. I replaced the ignition switch just to rule that off potential bad parts, but I’m not sure if somethings not hooked up right or one of the solenoid is bad not sure how to proceed to get the cart running in forward. Also noticed a few micro switches wondering if those go bad enough that controls the forward. |

Re: 1988 Par car only goes in reverse
My Par Car knowledge starts getting fuzzy in the late 80s. That said, it should be easy to test the individual components between forward and reverse. For instance, if you have separate forward and reverse solenoids then swap them to see if you know have forward but not reverse. If so then you know what solenoid is bad. Use the same process with the microswitches and such.

Re: 1988 Par car only goes in reverse
Just wondering which solenoids are forwarded and which are reverse?
There are two big poles on top of the solenoids just wondering what they should test at for ohms. I believe the solenoids are fine. Wondering what the micro switch does ? |

Re: 1988 Par car only goes in reverse
Have the same problem but a little better, mine won't run in reverse, so at least I can use it,
need to plan on where to stop. Have the same 5 selonoid set up. On another note, does anyone have a schematic on how the governor controls are connected on same, including springs ? |

Blown diode in key switch? Does it sound like it’s trying to go but shorting out
