Carryall II Controller Questions
Noobie to forum and cart here. I have a what is supposed to be a 2000 Carryall II. It has a Curtis PMC 1204-412 controller. When you press the accelerator pedal a solenoid clicks and the cart takes off full speed which on level ground seems about 8 to 10 mph. I cannot detect any significant difference in pedal settings. Is this a defective controller or could a bad pot do this?
Also going downhill there is no regenerative braking. Is this model cart supposed to have it? Thanks. |

Re: Carryall II Controller Questions
After doing some reading of the Curtis controller pdf manual, I tested the resistance of the pot box. Using the 2K scale it read .386 at rest and .46 floored with intermittent readings of .6** to .9**. It never went to 0 or anything over 1 so I gather the pot is defective.

Re: Carryall II Controller Questions
pots are normally up to 5k so i would recommend going up one scale.

I am quite sure now that the pot box is defective. The remaining question is if the controller is OK. I spoke to a tech who repairs and upgrades Curtis controllers and he said that the 1204 series is very robust. He hardly ever repairs one, just upgrades them to 400A. |

Re: Carryall II Controller Questions
Did you mean to say pot box? Can you just buy the potentiomer and replace it in the pot box? If so, where can I get the part? I have found a PB6 for $85.
Also, there seems to be some disagreement on whether the 1204-412 controller takes a 0-5k or a 5k-0 pot. The Curtis manual says 0-5k but it does not specifically list the 1204-412. I read on another thread that someone with my model controller needed a 5K-0. |

Re: Carryall II Controller Questions
im not sure exactly which box you have on your cart, but if its like mine, its just a wiper, a bunch of resistors & a microswitch. worth opening it up and taking a look prior to ordering a new box!
if its a silver 1204-412 on a club car, im 99% sure its 5k-0. -sj |

Re: Carryall II Controller Questions
It's silver. Thanks. I think it is the 5k-0.
