Here are resister values for a 48v 5k-0 ohm cart (2 wire and 3 wire)--

Crash, you listed values for a 36v 0-5k ohm. You're showing the first signs of hypothermia. Get to the nearest warming shelter buddy.



.

Was touching the next to last pad just a tad

Needed 2 turns on the linkage.

Now
When the micro sw closes, 4.78 k ohms
To the floor .3 ohms

Took it for a ride , feels a little faster

Not even contact wear
but working fine

The wiper must be ONLY contacting the top/last pad to get full speed.

That is true for the 0-5kΩ (2-wire) throttle as you need to be at the max resistance away from the other throttle wire.

The 5k-0Ω (3-wire throttle) will get you full speed as soon as you barely touch the last pad in forward (yellow wire will be directly connected to the white/black wire).

The 5k-0Ω will be a little less speed in reverse until you are only on the last pad due to the voltage divider circuit created by the half-speed resistor.

The "path of least resistance"
1.1 k to 0

It went to 0 without much movement
Guess it had a little wear over time & wasn't contacting the last pad well enough

Making good contact now &
I learned how to test & adjust a 5-0 V-glide

My resume' is growing
LOL

Am I the only one that this makes absolutely zero sense to? Where are you putting the probes. It just points to a single point. Doesn’t say weather to measure at full compression or what. Like literally any amount of detail would be helpful
