'86 Club Car First cart questions
hey guys, this is my first golf cart, and i had a few questions. I bought it second hand at a very good price. I have done a lot of research on this website and have answered a few of my own questions. #1, the cart doesnt move untill around the third click. then it jerks abruptley forward. From what ive read, this is most likely a sielnoid? How do you test a sielnoid? A volt meter? #2, is it healthy to install a cd player directly to my batteys? I know to only use 2 of them to make it 12v, and i would install an inline switch. #3, as far as batterys, i read to charge them fully after every use, and add distilled water when needed, but i cant find where the water goes.. I have ? Excel? batterys? Just cant find where the water goes and how to measure. Im assuming theres a kit at an auto store? Any help would be great, and if there is a wiring diagram i would like to rewire mine with better gauge and newer connections. What would be a proper gauge wire.. Thanks

Re: '86 Club Car First cart questions
Your batteries should have caps on top where you add water...should just twist off counter clockwise. If you dont have visible caps then there may be a sort of trim piece that fits into a groove on the top and hides the caps. You should be able to pop that off with a flat head screwdriver. Either of the two should be in the center of the top of the batteries. I've always just filled mine to the top with distilled water.

Re: '86 Club Car First cart questions
first things,Welcome to BGWAnd second you have solenoids that are bad,the first one is the master and then it goes 1,2,3,4 for the speeds.If you have the wheels off the ground you should be able to see how they work as you press the pedal down.1st main and then the rest in sequence like a 4 speed shifter in a car.Each click after the first is a new speed.
