Culb Car problem on take off

[gadawgsfan]

i have took some pics, trying to up load them now, or would it be eaiser for me to email them to you

[gadawgsfan]

hopefully these will work

[gadawgsfan]

still no help, i know im new but c'mon somebody can help me out im sure

The top left pic looks like the V glide operated by mechanical linkage from the GO pedal in my 98 model cc DS . This gave me similar problems before stopping to deliver volts to the motor altogether. scotty b helped considerably with this but in the end I had a sparky thoroughly clean all the contact bases and the moving arm contact in that V glide. This fixed the jerks better than a kick in the ****.

Maybe somebody can post the output test for a Vglide Converted to a potentiometer?
Or maybe gadawgfan can just check the ohms output of the Vglide and post it here?

[gadawgsfan]

ok, i have the correct ohm readings on the resisitors that are on the vglide.
i do not have a resistor going across the solenoid, some say that i should and some say i should'nt either way i replaced the solenoid and it worked great for 2 or 3 presses of the peddle and it started again. i tapped on the controller a few times and it started working fine and has been working for 20 minutes or so.
does this mean that the controller is bad or going bad, maybe a cold solder joint or something, who knows i am ready to give up and sell this cart.

How about checking that inside the V glide that where elect contacts need to be made for the unit to work that the contact points(areas) are clean. Use a bit of fine emery or just wet n dry paper(don't use it wet!). you may need to reset the OBC . Check the stickys for this

[scottyb]

There is no obc on this cart. You are close to finding what sounds like an intermittent connection. You said you tapped the solenoid and it worked? Where is the bad connection? Might be at the small wire that powers up the controller? Sell it to me Finding an intermittent electrical problem is one of the hardest things

[gadawgsfan]

thanks for the help so far from everybody, the thing i tapped on that made it worked thus far is what i think is the controller not the solenoid, i have tapped on the solenoid and it worked once or twice and thats why i changed it out, but it still happened, thats when i tapped on the controller and it has been working since. i think its just a matter of time before she starts doing the same thing. i just hope the controller is not bad
