Throttle pedal travel

[anix]

looking for what is normal? On my cart when you barely touch the pedal it start moving and by the time you reach about half travel the cart is wide open which is 15mph. The last half of the travel has no effect. I looked at the V block ( I guess that is the right term) and the arm has the same range of motion as the pedal with no loose play. So what is that telling me? Is the controller seeing a wide open throttle signal at half throttle? According to the wiring diagram there are four wires running between the v block and the controller. I assume each wire represents a different contact point that indicates a change in throttle position but I would have thought it would be more consistent through the full range.

The V-Glide is not the best throttle position indicator device due to the 4 blocks of signal you referred to as opposed to a real potentiometer which has a smooth signal transition from 0-5000.... Some aftermarket controllers have adjustable ramp rates, which can help...

Do you have any idea why I am not seeing any change with the last half of throttle input.

Control is already WOT at half ???
Use an ohm meter to test your V glide out put to answer this question.

I can test it. But I guess you answered my question (should it be WO at half throttle). I just find it strange that unless the wiper inside the V block is spring loaded to prevent damage from to travel that it would not reach WO until it went through it's full range of motion. Thanks for the input

Haven't found a good enough wiring diagram to know which two wires too check between. Do know? Should be 0-5K over the full range of motion right?
