3-Wheel, Forward dies
I have an EZ-GO 3 Wheel Golf Cart and I don't exactly know the year, but from what I've found thus far it should be between the years '89 & '94. It has a speed controller.
Problem is when in Forward, if you press the accelerator to the floor, it dies out down to a stop but runs OK at about have pedal. When in Reverse, it works fine with the accelerator in any position. Any Ideas? |

Re: 3-Wheel, Forward dies
Sounds like the throttle pot goes out of range during throttle up.
Your cart should have a double micro on one side. It's for 1/2 speed reverse which might be why reverse "seems normal". So check the pot and all of the micros. This also assumes you've checked all battery and motor/controller cable connections and the battery interconnect cables and all are in good shape. And of course your batteries are good. |

Re: 3-Wheel, Forward dies
Thanks, PGGROVES! I first tested the potentiometer and found that it went from 0 - 7500. I adusted linkage to get it down to around 6000. Cart seems to run fine. Should I get this on down to 5000.

Touchy little buggers. I usually keep "trying" until I get it to a max of 5.5k.
