Dumb question but what does the f&r switch have to do with speed

Total amps to the motor pass through the F/R switch contacts and if they have any resistance, a voltage is dropped across that resistance and less voltage is applied to motor, so it won't spin as fast as it would if full battery pack voltage was applied. Same thing applies to any resistance in any of the high current cables and connections and the solenoid contacts.

You cannot eliminate all of the resistance, but with properly sized cables as well as clean connections and contacts, you can eliminate most of it.

I removed the orange wire from the #4 pin on the controller. That seemed to make it go faster. I guess that means I need a new f&r. It does go fast in reverse with wire removed

Sounds like you had the reverse speed reduction active all the time? Is forward speed normal now?

You can leave the orange wire disconnected, no worries.
We have 2 reversing contactors available for this cart.
SW182 is good for on/off road carts with 400 amp or less speed controllers.
SW202 is good for all size speed controllers and all aftermarket motors.

I think my problem is with controller. As electric motor will with run or it won’t. I read a chart on this motor and with 400a controller is should have 5% more torque and 21 mph.
