1991 marathon confused not PDS or DCS??
I read that you either have a PDS or DCS and that PDS didn't start until 2001 or so. So why when I look at the wiring diagrams for both I have neither one. I found one called solid state speed control that is the one I have? so what is this cart?? how can I get a diagnostic and repair manual for it? Or am I just not thinking right?

You will have a resistor or series cart. (Not PDS or DCS) If you have a box in the center with a giant coil, it is a resister. If it has a solid box with tabs on the top, it is a controller cart. (Solid state)

Re: 1991 marathon confused not PDS or DCS??
Oh ok thanks Helirich, I then have a series cart! So is that all I need to know if I need part? What about the controller is there only one for a series cart and since most posts I have read refer to the PDS or DCS as to upping performance and such can anything be upgraded (performance wise) to a series cart?
Not thinking of doing anything now for sure since it is running very well but in the future it may be something I will consider at battery replacement time. Of course I can see that going to performance on these electric carts are pricey I would probably convert it to gas. Although I must say I enjoy the quite ride without exhaust smell but I could probably do a gas conversion for less that just replacing the batteries. |

I could post a picture but I will have to do it a little later in the meantime the diagram I posted here is the exact layout of the system 3 batteries left and 3 right and the wiring is the exact same as on the batteries. controller, Pot box and solenoid all located back center.

Re: 1991 marathon confused not PDS or DCS??
Yea, a series cart is good. I have one series and one PDS. I actually think the DCS is the least disirable. (My opinion) I have not up graded the series. (Yet) I had a good deal on up graded parts for the PDS, so I did it.
I'm sure Scotty (and others) can fix you up with what ever you want, as far as upgrades. I wouldn't convert to gas. If that's what you want, just sell the cart and buy a gas cart. You drive yours for while. You might change your mind about going to gas. |
