Re: Has my speed sensor been discontinued??
Your voltage drop under load of up to 6 volts is kind of high. That suggests weak batteries.

Re: Has my speed sensor been discontinued??
So it looks like have some i investigating to do this weekend in my cart. Joesam after what u just posted on your freinds cart having weird pulses at low speeds leads me to think I.may have more than one issue going on with my cart. This is my first cart and just thought it was normal operation, but trying to keep a very low speed is kinda tough, u can either go really slow maybe 2mph, but if u push the throttle just a hair more it gets kinda jerky and makes u have to push it down a little more to bring u up to maybe 6mph or so. there doesn't seem to be a smooth in between. As regarding battery pack voltage I've never had it above 50.3 after sitting for 12 hrs. I will hook up a volt meter to each battery this weekend and test each one up a hill, what is a suitable voltage for an 8v battery under a load?

Re: Has my speed sensor been discontinued??
Also, I am going to purchase a set of 4g battery wires from eBay, for the price it doesn't sound like a bad idea to replace them all to at least rule one thing out

Re: Has my speed sensor been discontinued??
Those eBay kits are often incomplete. Remember you'll need motor wires too. I recommend you buy cables from one of this forums sponsors to ensure quality and completeness. If a battery is failing it will show dramatically lower volts than its companions.
Edit: Your Regen 2 cart has a multi-step potentiometer - that means it will accelerate in "steps" - later models were smoother with continuously variable potentiometers (MCOR). I still don't think you have bad brushes. |

Re: Has my speed sensor been discontinued??
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/301867337052. This is what I was looking at. It says welding wire which I know is what I should be looking for. Are these crap?

Re: Has my speed sensor been discontinued??
On the surface they seem OK, but I'm not a wire expert AT ALL! Sure are cheap. While your digging around your cart (and before buying these) - count and record the length of each of your large diameter wires. At the very least, your lengths are liable to be different being a Regen 2. Regen 2 was in production for a very short period of time. You may need a custom set.

One other thing on your cart. If the solenoid on the drivers side fails the coil becomes the only path for current. This will make the cart really slow and the coil will get really hot.

Re: Has my speed sensor been discontinued??
Anytime those old carts experience a severe slow down going up a Hill (lack of power), I would suspect the 'Energy Displacement" solenoid as well.
Next time You go up a hill, keep the pedal all the way down, when you get on top of the hill, stop the cart and check the coil. If the coil is glowing hot, that is your problem. |

Re: Has my speed sensor been discontinued??
So I checked the voltage of each battery going up hill, at stand still they all read about 8.2 but uphill 3 of them dropped down to 7.2, 1 of them dropped to 7 and 2 of them dropped to 7.9. the whole pack voltage at standstill was 50.3 and the whole pack voltage dropped down to 43-45 uphill. After driving full throttle uphill a while I felt the battery cables, the ones that link the batteries together were a little warm, not hot. The 2 longer cables weren't warm. The battery compartment itself seemed to have some heat coming from it not sure if that's normal.. I also felt the coil after getting uphill and it wasn't hot or warm at all. While I as driving around with the access panel off I did notice there is a "whine" coming from the motor itself, not super loud but now that I heard it it's very noticeable to me now
