Cart runs slow in forward but faster in reverse
I just got my 96 txt going. Put a new controller and solenoid. I noticed that it is very slow in forward but much faster i n reverse. I was looking around the cart after a short drive and noticed that the cable that come out of the center of the f/r switch is hot. The post itself that it connects to on the f/r switch seems to be a little loose. My new controller does not use A2 so I removed it. the cable that is getting hot comes off of the same post on the F/r switce. Any advise? thanks!

Re: Cart runs slow if forward but faster in reverse
Anytime something gets hot it means a bad connection! " Scottyb " has kits for your F-R switch. ( http://www.cartsunlimited.net/ ) You may also have a half speed reverse lead on your controller. If it gets power either forward or reverse, it will cut down your speed! Do the F-R switch kit first, and then you can check your controllers setup for the reverse speed hookup.

Re: Cart runs slow if forward but faster in reverse
It could also be that two wire are crossed on the F&R or at the motor. That would cause the speed issue also.

The orange wire from controller to MS-4 on F/R switch. MS-4 also turns on beeper when in reverse. If it is connected, you get half-speed in reverse. |

Re: Cart runs slow if forward but faster in reverse
It makes sense that you are looking at 2 different problems.
One; you need a new F&R and if you have increased the size of the controller you need to upgrade the cables and the F&R. Two; it sounds like you may have the directions switch on the F&R for forward and reverse. The simple solution would be to swap the location for the cables at 9 and 3 o'clock on the F&R when you reassemble. Remember to disconnect battery power BEFORE disconnecting the switch cables. and of course mark their location with tape and pen. |

Re: Cart runs slow if forward but faster in reverse
Good catch, Wiz. I read that as top center also .... Center nut is the tension on the switch cam . It must not be loose.

Re: Cart runs slow if forward but faster in reverse
Scotty B wouldnt it have to be a swapped wire at the motor not the f&r? I believe if a wire was swapped at the f&r, you would go reverse in fwd and fwd in reverse.
