Re: Slow 2000 48 v Club Car
If u tested the batteries as suggested then that isn't the issue. Excessive heat due to corrosion in the electrical feeds? Excessive drag due to breaks? Need a real techie to get u running I guess.

Thanks for the replies. The cables are clean and the terminals are clean no corrosion.

Re: Slow 2000 48 v Club Car
I've seen series cars behave this way several times and ended up replacing the controller. It's often diagnosed as an MCOR or V-Glide issue but the fact that it works fine for a while and slowly develops into a crawling condition indicates that the controller is failing to put out a reasonable amount of power after it heats up. An MCOR or V-Glide issue would be a more permanent condition and wouldn't come and go like you describe.

Re: Slow 2000 48 v Club Car
Is this a fix that I can do or should I take it to a shop.
Thanks |

Re: Slow 2000 48 v Club Car
That depends on your mechanical ability. Installing a controller isn't hard to do. However, it may be worth doing some tests to make sure that it's definitely the problem. I'm just basing my opinion on my experience. I wouldn't feel comfortable selling a man a controller without diagnosing his cart first. If you're interested in diagnosing the issue I'll be glad to help you. Give me a call if you'd like. Phone number is on the web page. Web page link is below.

Re: Slow 2000 48 v Club Car
Based on information from David's Post and another source I am leaning toward the v-glued throttle control. I think it is within the half moon plastic case under the seat on driver side beside the battery. I have to remove a battery and open up the case to get inside. I imagine it will need testing with a volt meter for resistance. Maybe some feedback will get me through the testing process. Pretty sure the problem is a component breaking down when it gets hot as the Cart is fine on initial start up it only starts limping after riding a while. Thanks for any input.
