cheap but slow
Bought a '94 Yamaha G8 electric for the price of the new batteries which i am picking up this week. It has one issue. It goes about 5mph. Feels as though it might quit going up hills but makes it everytime. Prtevious owner was teaching his son how to drive...LOL. I think he was 14. Have searched for slow speed and other titles with little success. The batteries have been in a good working cart and have proven to be fine. We even tried that again ourselves at the campground. Reverse seems ok. Not sure where to start because I am new to electrics. I have read many posts about them trying to get a better understanding of what I am in for. Don't know how to check these diodes, resistors, relays and the v-glide or pot box. Could someone give me a rundown and possibly what and how to check things? The multimeter ie ready.
If all goes well, I might tackle my in-laws electrics and help them out. Thanks in advance. I got a ton of info on here that went a mile with my 2 old CC rebuilds. Which both are adding up on the hours quickly. A big thumbs up to this site and all the geniuses who help. |
