1996 Ez-go very slow start

Do you have an ohm meter? Since you have the original motor out, check the resistance of the field and armature windings to make sure one of them is not high resistance or open.

Al210, yes I have an OHM meter, would you have a sequence? or a little more detail on this process?

Thanks

Set for ohms and make the following measurements:

1. leads on A1 and A2 =
2. leads on S1 and S2 =
3. leads on A1 and metal motor case =
4. leads on A2 and metal motor case =
5. leads on S1 and metal motor case =
6. leads on S2 and metal motor case =

Thank you Sir, I will run those tests tonight

What did you ever find out?

[Destructive Tendencies]

I have been traveling, will be back in the states June 10th. I will get on it and let you know.

Thanks

Sorry for the late reply, I was out of the country for work, listed below were the results of the ohms test. Anyideas?

Set for ohms and make the following measurements:

1. leads on A1 and A2 = 0.00
2. leads on S1 and S2 = 0.00
3. leads on A1 and metal motor case = 1 .
4. leads on A2 and metal motor case = 1 .
5. leads on S1 and metal motor case = 1 .
6. leads on S2 and metal motor case = 1 .

What is the meter you are using. I doubt the 0.00 reading. 0.00 means the windings are shorted out. If your meter has a variable ohms scale make sure it's on the lowest scale before taking readings.

I would suspect reading 1. To be close to 1.0 not 0.00.
Reading 2. Should be 1 to 3 ohms.
3, 4, 5 & 6 should be open. No resistance.
