I just got this old cart and its in need of gremlin extermination. I know its got 1-3 solenoids that are sticking randomly. The cart has the aluminum box speed control, 5 micros with a ramp. Box looks like its been molested in the past so Im going to replace them all.

What are the part numbers for the micros?

If I remember correctly those are three terminal microswitches, but you might want to check to be sure. I usually replace all 5 solenoids if working with a system like that.

Welcome to the forum by the way!

Inside of my speed box there are a mixture of 2 & 3 terminal switches. Looks like someone was just replacing bad ones with whatever they had on hand.

-Is there a way to reliably test the solenoids when the sticking problem is intermittent?

I have an old parts cart that was parked bc batteries went. It was in working order 7 years ago when I left it under a tree, lol.
-Would the solenoids being exposed to the sun and rain for 7 years still be good? if I can even get the nuts off without destroying them.

The symptoms the cart presents are..
1. Jumpy/Jerky accel.
2. Intermittently goes without pedal being pressed, sometimes turning the key off will stop it, sometimes it doesn't.
-Would the symptoms suggest the Main solenoid (closest to driver side) and at least one of the other 4 are bad?

5 solenoid cart? All 5 are activated by the 5 switches in the pedal box. These need only be 2 tab switches. 3 tab switches can be used if the installer knows which tabs to use.
The main or master solenoid closes first. It is the solenoid closest the drivers side.
If I remember right
After the main each solenoid will close in sequential order with the pedal stroke until all the solenoids are closed.
