Re: Cart Slowly Shutters After Controller/Motor/Cable/Solenoid Upgrade
You mean the Regen diode on the Solenoid big posts was also installed backwards?
If that was the case your cart was running through the diode and it could have been damaged by excessive current. Does your multi-meter have a diode test function? If so you should test that diode by disconnecting one of the diode leads and placing the multimeter probes on the diode leads. In one position it should show 0v, if you flip the meter probes it should show around 0.5v-0.8v. If You get 0L or a very low voltage in both directions the diode is bad. |

Re: Cart Slowly Shutters After Controller/Motor/Cable/Solenoid Upgrade
Not at home but I will check...how would the damage likely manifest itself (ie. what would happen)

Re: Cart Slowly Shutters After Controller/Motor/Cable/Solenoid Upgrade
You would not notice anything different but it would be like the diode was not installed and therefore it would not provide the Controller protection it was designed to do.

I have no trust in the Alltrax Tech support at this point since they are the source of the miss-information so it would be nice to get confirmation from someone at Alltrax that is more knowledgeable with the Controller design to give the definitive answer. Hopefully someone else has a better direct connection to Alltrax. |

Re: Cart Slowly Shutters After Controller/Motor/Cable/Solenoid Upgrade
I had the same thing happen to me and it ended up being that the Alltrax came with the wrong throttle type preset. It would cause the cart to shutter and then stop. As soon as I checked it and selected the correct one, it ran fine. Worth a shot to look at.

Re: Cart Slowly Shutters After Controller/Motor/Cable/Solenoid Upgrade
He already fixed the problem, the suppression diode was installed incorrectly (You can see on the picture) and it prevented the Solenoid from engaging (direct short when controller tried to activate).

Re: Cart Slowly Shutters After Controller/Motor/Cable/Solenoid Upgrade
For regen diode I got .466 one way and 0L the other. For the other I got .475 one way an 0L the other. Good?

Re: Cart Slowly Shutters After Controller/Motor/Cable/Solenoid Upgrade
So I got it out for a test drive to break in the new motor. I noticed as I get to higher speed the cart seems to slow itself down. I'm completely new to this...is that the regen braking or a potential issue. Can I disable it?

Re: Cart Slowly Shutters After Controller/Motor/Cable/Solenoid Upgrade
Went out again...seems to be when I let off the accelerator but it is pretty sensitive. If it's regen, can I just make it less se sensitive?
