Slow forward ok in reverse

Velvet htr · 01-24-2017, 05:22 PM

Just finished a lift kit and tire up grade, also 4 of the 6 new batteries, Buggy goes very slow with no torque in forward, but reverse seems to do pretty good. Any ideas on what to check? I'm a nooby so I'm pretty lost. Thanks

If it has a factory controller could be the speed sensor.

Like I said I'm a newbie, please some advise on how to check the speed sensor. And any other ideas on what I could check. Thanks

The reversing microswitch is likely activating in forward, try reversing the A1 and A2 wires at the motor and see how it works then.

what year-drive system,ect...

did you replace 4 batteries?

EZGO 2005 TXT PDS needed 4 batteries replaced, 2 others are borderline, but just trying to get the buggy going. Any and all help appreciated. Thanks to all!!

2 marginal batts will damage new batts! you need to check the 2 marginal batts,individually, to see if they drop under load-if they do -replace and you should be good...

might be something else-but check your batts first.

i understand saving $$$, but you cant cut corners on batts with out risk. good luck and tell us what you find.
