1991 Marathon Speed Controller EZGO

[trader 1]

Hey
First time trying to post a thread. Bought an old buggy. Rusted, no batteries,brakes seuzed. Did a little work, put in new batteries. Sometimes it would run, sometimes it would not. Resistor across solenoid hot all the time. Last time it ran there was a high pitch squeal from controller. Determined that capacitors in controller were shorted speed controller was shot. Bought small diamond wheel from hardware store and cut molded seal outcof speed controller. Pulled electronic boards out of controller. Found controller had electrolyte inside from blown capacitors. Removed 4 capacitors and 12 mosfets from controller. Bought replacements from digitek for 56 canadian Tomorrow will put new parts back into controller. Hooefully this spring my buggy will be running like new. Will keep you posted on how it turns out.
