Re: slow cart
make sure your batts are wired correctly. you should have 36+V at the solenoid.

Sounds like you have what is commonly referred to as a Series Cart (Series wound motor) that has at least two problems. 1. Solenoid clicks when key is turned on: Microswitch in pedal box is bad or maladjusted, or has be bypassed. 2. 24V at solenoid: Somebody stole two of your batteries or one is wired backwards. |

Re: slow cart
it has 24v from the controller when you check from m- terminal to b+.starts off at 0 and goes to 24v at full throttle. it should go to 38v

Maxing out at 24V between M- and B+ tells me the throttle input isn't going as high as it ought to, or the controller is malfunctioning. Depending on the year, your series cart could have a pot-box or ITS throttle, but there are checkout procedures for both floating around here.  |

Re: slow cart
Disconnect the orange wire at the F&R micro switch and test drive the cart.
