Default 1998 Club Car DS Gas Issues

Just got a cart in, 1998 Club Car DS Gas. Was brought to me and was told that it has a charging problem and the forward/reverse switch "broke" and someone "rewired" it to work. Didn't take a close look at the cart, but the F-R handle over-rotates, so it will be getting a new one of those. Didn't look at the S/G, maybe just a battery issue. It didn't start (cranked slowly) so it is on the charger now. If anyone has some ideas where to start, let me hear them

Experiences with my cart...
If it cranks slowly... low or bad battery!
once you get it running, use a VOM at the battery,
(in maintenance mode) at mid to full throttle it should show 15.3 volts (or there abouts)
If it shows just battery voltage, it will be the voltage regulator!

Get it running then post your findings!

More info,

The customer took the cart to get repaired before he brought it to me and they put a new S/G in, and it didn't fix the charging problem

On a 98, that should be CW, correct?

Got it!

Tuesday I get to pick up and fix a cart that's similar to mine, but BEAT TO H**L!
(I've got a feeling it'll have it's own thread! )

I'll wish you luck, if you wish me luck!
