Default Golf cart jerks

I have a 1996 36 volt Electric Yamaha G16. I have replaced the controller, F and R switch, and solenoid. The batteries are all in good shape and fairly new.Each change made the cart run better, but i still i have an occasional jerk when accelerating. Could it be the throttle sensor? hate to buy another part if it is not solution. Any help would be great. Thanks!

If you have just one bad battery it would cause it to jerk. But if they are good I would say its the throttle sensor.

This doesnt often apply to yamahas, but you may want to try a blocking diode on the solenoid like ezgo and clubcar has. i have seen carts with no diode on the sol. jump on the second or later throttle application. once it was so bad on a hopped up and lifted electric, that the axleshaft finally snapped. of course the installer had no idea what i was talking about "what, diode, what???". diode is available on cart part websites for less than 5bux, also available at radioshack (diode type 1n4004). the diode has a stripe on one end that must face toward the positive terminal. the diode must be placed on the smaller wires that activate the solenoid, Not the large wires that the battery cable size wires connect to.
