marathon resistor to solid state conversion question

superair · 03-24-2015, 08:38 PM

Ok guys I need some help with my conversion to solid state. I bought a 700 amp contoller, 400 amp solenoid and a hd f/r switch from carts unlimited. Now I am having trouble with the wiring to the controller. I have the S1 and S2 coming from the f/r switch and I think the solenoid feeds the b+ and also it looks like the b+ goes to the motor a1 but currently the b- goes directly to the motor so what goes to the other two contacts on the controller? Any help or a wiring diagram would be greatly appreciated.

For the marathon conversion use this diagram. Careful not to mix diagrams. use this one or a different one but never part of this and part of that. Leave that to the experts.

Thanks Scotty. Exactly what I needed.

All wired up, brackets made and painted, now to adjust the throttle and it all should be good. I will have pics after I finish and tidy up the wiring. It does roll now so most of the work is complete.

I am going to order a stronger motor very soon.
