Re: 1988 Marathon Electric - Arcing Wiper Board - Tried Everything, Need Ideas
Does it only spark in the first (low)position? If so, I'd either look at it closely for solid connection - terminal maybe melted into the wiper board and thus not getting a solid connection - or go straight past it to the second connection.
I have a controller, but generally keep the gas or brake to the floor. No in between, but that's me. Creeping can place a lot of stress on the connections. |

Fixed it....
These first two diagrams only got me 3/4 of the way. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...g-manuals.html http://s985.photobucket.com/user/wiz...5e4df.png.html It wasn't until I saw this diagram that I found something wrong with how the solenoid and F&R switch was wired up. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/attac...ng-diagram.jpg There is a slight contradiction between the two sets but between the two I got everything working. No arcing, no sparks, key switch works, buzzer works, and I have all speeds. There was even an extra white wire going from the fnr ms to the battery that I didnt need. I appreciate everyone's input. It helped me to retrace my steps and get it wired up properly. I am not exactly sure what the root of the problem was but it was probably a combination of switches and solenoid wiring. |

YAY! Doesn't it feel good not to pay someone for something you did yourself?!?

Re: 1988 Marathon Electric - Arcing Wiper Board - Tried Everything, Need Ideas
Glad you got it fixed!
One thing you might check is to make sure you have a cable running from that first contact to the solenoid. I had a diagram that didn't show it, and ran a cart for years without it. It worked, but it was harder on the components than it should have been. I couldn't see one in your pic. That cable makes that first contact hot the instant the wiper touches it and it greatly reduces arcing. The throttle micro switch has to be working right. Good luck with it. |
