Default Acellerator problems

I am constantly working on golf carts at our campground cleaning battery terminals etc but I have come across a problem that I have not seen before.

I have recently cleaned the battery terminals and made a new cable for a burnt one and filled all the water. The cart was on the charger for the night and the next day it seem to back up fine, but when you want to go forward, if you press the acellerator lightly, it starts slow, If you press the acellerator to the floor, it bucks the cart and doesn't really go anywhere. Forget going up hills, it isn't going to happen.

Is there a riostat on the gas pedal fore the Club Car eleltric carts?

Any one seen this before? Thank you for your help in advance.

Was the cart operational prior to your cleaning/adding new cable? Check for proper connections to/between the batteries. What is the total pack voltage?

The cart is a 36 volt but I don't know what year it is. The cart would not go anywhere with the batteries as bad as they were. I don't think the owner ever noticed the jerking motion before.

Thank you for your help.

doesn't matter what year it is at this point.....

The problem is caused by either a faulty wire or a bad battery on the Passenger side of the cart. Depending on which battery they have the reverse power coming from (factory setup was to connect reverse to the D/S middle battery but alot of people want faster reverse and connect it to the P/S middle battery), it could be 1 of 3 batteries causing the problem. check the 2 on the passenger side first, if both of those are testing fine, then test the middle battery on the Passenger side. One of those 3 (or the wiring between them) is bad.
