bright lights then dim
2002 gas Club car question. When I begin running the cart, it appears to run normal. When running at night, the lights are bright. After a few minutes, the lights dim slightly and cart speeds up quite a bit. Do I have a rev limit problem. It doesn't operate this way all the time, just every now and then.

Re: bright lights then dim
If regulator is robbing too much voltage due to high voltage output. What should the output voltage be?

You need to put a volt meter on the battery while you are riding it and see if the voltage is dropping while it is running.

Re: bright lights then dim
Thanks for the reply. What is the normal operating voltage and have you seen this scenario before?

Re: bright lights then dim
checked full speed battery voltage and hit +17 vdc. Once it dropped to 14ish vdc, it began to run normal. Voltage regulator?

Swapped out the regulator yesterday, problem fixed! Runs like a champ again!
