Re: ez go pds motor swap?
Welcome to BWG.
If the cart ran several feet before it shutdown, the green wire on Admiral MOT-B2 speed sensor is probably the sensor's output like the white wire was on the original motor, but it would be best to confirm with the motor manufacturer or the dealer that sold it to you. I haven't been into carts very long, but I have worked with electrical and electronic devices for a half century or so and it sounds like you've doubled to tripled the load on a stock controller and solenoid. I may be wrong, but I suspect the stock PDS controller is going into an over-current protection mode or has failed. From what I've read here, people usually upgrade to a Heavy-Duty solenoid and Controller before installing a higher HP motor. |

Re: ez go pds motor swap?
simply put the stock controller allows a minimum amount of current to flow to perform the task it was designed for.... to carry 2 people on a groomed golf course path.
Adding big tires and motors is asking too much from the stock control. You need an upgraded controller and solenoid combination, as well as a few cables up-sized to make the motor run your cart... |

Re: ez go pds motor swap?
It depends upon how many people want to ride on it at once in what type of terrain.... You could be okay with a 400 amp controller and 200 amp solenoid. That will get you most everywhere you want to go, or you can go with a 500 amp control and 400amp solenoid & since you have the aftermarket motor..... I suggest the bigger one.
I have both combos here http://cartsunlimited.net/Custom_Options.html |
