Yamaha G16E WHIP-LASH When You Press the Accelerator

[bohunter]

I have a Yamaha G16E golf cart and when you push on the accelerator the cart leaves rubber. (Whip-Lash) I checked the throttle sensor and that is good. Could it be something else or do I need a new controller? Can anyone Help? Thanks Don

Welcome to the forum...

If the throttle input is within spec it could possibly be the controller. I don't work on a lot of Yamaha's so wait for someone to reply with more experience before you run out and buy a controller.

Thanks for your input .........Has anyone else experienced the same problem? or maybe have another idea...

I have a Yamaha G16E golf cart and had the same problem, with mine it was the foot pedal switch. The old switch went from 0 to full speed with no in between . I changed the switch and it all works now.
