Help first golf cart 1997 club car ds
Hey all glad to find a post here I can refer to when in need help. I have a golf cart I am purchasing tomorrow I have driven it twice the cart is 48v and the batteries are giving 8.25 volts or so 20016 batteries. I have two questions
1. When I drive the cart it seems slower than all the others that my friends have actually much slower could it be a speed sensor gone bad? This is slow on flat ground the guys I we're riding around with in the neighborhood we're way in front of me ... 2. I have a clicking noise under my driver side rear seat . I think it's possibly the guide ring on morot making the sound. Any thoughts Thanks you guys are great on here |

Re: Help first golf cart 1997 club car ds
Is it a series or regen motor? I don't know if both were offered in 97. If it is a series there is no speed magnet.
It is impossible to diagnose a clicking sound over the internet. As Nole pointed out clicking is normal for the reasons he stated. A constant clicking after the pedal is depressed and driving is not. In that case it could be anything from the motor to the rear, the axle, loose lug nuts or a rock stuck in the drum etc. |

Re: Help first golf cart 1997 club car ds
Ok I will look in to it so today I drove the cart for about 30 minutes and it was completely dead. I charged all batteries again and they read 8.5- 8.7 with one that is 8.4
I do not know the history of the batteries anythouthts off what Todo . I have thought about trying the Epsom salt trick. Also possibly getting as much water out I can with a turkey baster and refilling with distilled water. When I charge the cart I hear boiling water under the seat. The total pack reads 51.5 is this low or high? |

Forget about doing everything in the second paragraph.
Did you charge until the charger shut off? How long after charging did you test voltage? |

Re: Help first golf cart 1997 club car ds
I let it charge for a good while this afternoon a few hours but the charger will not drop down past 5dc volts on charger display. Also I was concerned about the batteries boiling and as well me not being home while cart is charging. What should I do?

I think it's a series motor since I see no access to the speed sensor on side of motor.
