Re: 1987 CLub Car DS,(Walle), the Before and After...

usually the coils get hot, but I was told that is normal if I remember correctly on these carts. Maybe I misunderstood this though? I am using it solely on the streets of my neighborhood. I dont think the brakes are sticking, when I changed them I was able to turn each one without to much force. I mean they werent spinning freely, but I could spin them with one hand. |

Re: 1987 CLub Car DS,(Walle), the Before and After...
Ok so here's some info....
Battery voltage : 6.47 every battery GPS speed(half my windshield down): 13-14 mph, 15 top Here's a weird thing, I just rode about 2 miles full throttle pretty much and I touched the cables and they are just slightly warm now, not hot? |

Coils only get hot if current is moving through them. If you are testing at full throttle it triggers the last solenoid in the coil pack and bypasses all the resistor coils, high current will only be running through battery pack, the main solenoid, last pack solenoid, FnR switch and motor. If you went and ran it a mile at full throttle then hopped out and checked those coils they should be cool still.

Re: 1987 CLub Car DS,(Walle), the Before and After...
At 13-14 your running pretty efficiently. My stock resistor cart ran 12-13. I don’t know that slightly warm is a bad thing for a 2mi run. If your only getting hot sometimes that could be a bad connection but outside of that the resistor carts are pretty simple. If you have double checked all the battery and motor connections I would double check the solenoid connections. And always remember anytime these resistor carts are not at full throttle the motor is still trying to pull its maximum amps and that the speed control works by dissipating that energy as heat through those coils...the slower you are the more heat your gonna produce.

Re: 1987 CLub Car DS,(Walle), the Before and After...
Oh and the cart runs smoothly from start to stop. I hear all 5 clicks in stages for the cart to get going. I checked all the bolts and everything is tight on the solenoids. David from Revolution told me to change them all, smartest thing i did honestly so they are all brand new. The connectings of the wires and bolts to the motor are rusty, but nothing seems to be running hot at those points so no issue there.
I mean is it possible, that this older cart just maybe runs a bit warmer then most newer style carts? |

Those carts do not like to be run slowly for any length of time.
I would drive it like I stole it for a few days the way it is. Charge it every time you get off of it if you can. Make sure it is plugged in every night. I think you have it like it is supposed to be. |

Re: 1987 CLub Car DS,(Walle), the Before and After...
Yeah I think thats what I am gonna do, push it a bit and stop babying it so much. I do the same thing to my truck, used to be a speed maniac and now I just want to slow down to much lol. Now how can I convince my wife new wheels and tires is for the better for this household and OUR little cart lol???????
