Re: Controller Adjustment ?
I'm new to the world of electric carts, but that looks like the basic series controller that I have. I think you want to check the resistance of your potentiometer.
Remove the black and white wires from J2 and J3 put your meter probes on the wires. You should have 0 ohms and then they should increase smoothly to 5000 ohms as you step fully on the pedal. Maybe I'm way off base and somebody that really knows will chime in. |

Re: Controller Adjustment ?
Those who work every day with carts 'n related "stuff" (that's a tech term!) may know the controller type in the pic. But for the rest of us, you need to tell us what brand\model of controller you have.

Re: Controller Adjustment ?
Looks like an old Marathon setup, which would probably mean a Curtis 1204. Early version of a cart controller & is not intended to be programable.

Re: Controller Adjustment ?
thats a curtis controller from what I see but im no expert... many of them can in fact be adjusted with a cable and software.. if you go to yourtube there are videos showing how to do this. its not commonly done here or talked about as its not a controller thats commonly marketed as a performance mod even though you can pick up the 500a generic clones for under $200 new.
some of these controllers are indee locked though and the parameters can not be changed by the average joe.. the exact model and year of your cart may help determine which you have. |

Re: Controller Adjustment ?
Standard Curtis handheld and there are some things you can change but jumpy throttle would point to an issue at the throttle box.

Re: Controller Adjustment ?
Thank you all. Sorry I didn't specify. I had another thread recently with problems with a controller that got hot. So, I replaced it with this one.
This is a 1204 chinesium clone. https://buggiesgonewild.com/showthread.php?t=188364 sean |

Re: Controller Adjustment ?
Those can easily be programmed following the directions on youtube.. there are a few videos on this. Fyi the original curtis units are "Chinese" made too..

Being this is a clone the free software and diy or purchased cable will work to program it without a handheld device needed. |
