cart running slow

[seanb97072]

played with cart 1992 club car runs slow messed around checking voltage and still runs slow all of a sudden speed up to 3/4 speed and then slowed back down any places to check to see if i need a v glide or a controller i have new battery that read out 36 volts

[shadowman]

if its only reading 36 volts thats not good........check each battery and load test each one...........as for v-glide you can open it up and see what the movable arm is doing......is it sliding from start to finish or stopping short......you,ll need to inspect it.......................................

Opened v glide up it moves with out stoping start to finish what kind of electrical readings should I be getting at the v gilde and motor with gass pedal fully depressed ? And where should I take readings at to trouble shoot this problem I'm kinda lost

[seanb97072]

now found out that all batterys have 6.7 volts now load and under load 5.7 cart runs fine for 5 min+ then the cart starts to slow way down any other ideas ?

[scottyb]

Usually if the cart starts out strong but weakens or slows after a short ride the batteries are suspect. Connect a hand held meter to the pack and let us know how low the pack voltage drops when she slows.

[seanb97072]

5,7 is the lowest pack under load

[scottyb]

Is it a resistor coil or ESC drive system?

How are you load testing?

[seanb97072]

this cart has a controller no resistors and to load test i put the cart in front of a wall and press the gas down and hit the gas to the floor and then check each battery at 50% then 100% every time i try it i never get less than 5.7v

Still need help guys

. . check/clean all connections in Vglide including wiper arm and the contact points for wiper arm . . . otherwise, assuming batteries are good, you may be having controller or motor issues . . .
