1995 EZGO troubleshooting ?

[tech00]

Got a 95 ezego that has started slowing down after about 15 min. of riding. Put a load tester on the batteries and all six tested good.Does any one have any troubleshooting tips on how and what I should check.I sprayed wd40 on the forward/reverse switch because it was kinda stiff ,don't know if this had anything to do with it or not.Up until this I could ride a Hour and half or longer.Don't know too much more to tell you . Thanks

Welcome TECH00
WD 40 is highly flamable on an open electrical contact switch. Had there been any of the common sparking that does happen with a F/R sometimes you could have had a fire.
What does the voltage read on yoour battery pack when you start out and when it starts to slow down?

Have not been able to read it after it slows down(been raining) but each battery has a reading or 6.4 v and one has 6.3 What terminals do I need to check for a total voltage reading. Should I disconnect the power and clean the wd40 off the f/r switch with some contact cleaner? Will post voltage radings tonite after it slows down.Thanks for the reply

You can plug the voltmeter into the charger recepticle.

Just got back from riding a little over 10 miles and it never slowed down.Seems to be working fine now.Voltage was at 6.46 on each battery(except one was 6.39)when I left and got a 6.28 on all six when I got back. Is that solenoid that is mounted on the box on the passanger side supposed to get kinda warm after a ride.Think it was labeled B2 and connected to f/r switch. Thanks for all the help guys. Great forum, glad to be a part of.
