Brad - In my Citicar (still wired 'stock' for the most part) power comes from the 12 volt power lead (from batteries) to the fuse block, to the ignition...
Thanks for all the great advice! Checking the micro switch, I found that there were only remnants of it left. It looks like the wires were taped together by...
Just thinking about maintenance in general and can't remember ever seeing this discussed. How many miles can motor brushes be expected to last in both the...
I have the same question but in regards to the D&D motor, hmm kind of a pain to get at the brushes to check them out. Also on the D&D side of things where do I...
in 2006 i had to have the brushes replaced and as far as i can remember from the two previos owners of my cc car the motor was never touched and my car has...
I am not sure if the D&D and the Advanced DC motor is the same animal but I have one and I have gotten now about 7000 miles on the motor and last check the...
On your speedo problem. Unless you are going for a complete restoration, my trick works great. Just mount an inexpensive bike speedo on top of the steering...
As far as I can tell, Trogans are better built, have a stronger case, and are a lot more expensive. Both will work and some of each may fail before their...
Good call... I'm glad you mentioned not to use the wireless type because I was about to check out that route. Saved me the headache. But now since you...
I have not tried the auto temp gage idea. I guess it would work OK. You might want put the probe in the "exhaust" vent tubing somewhere instead of on the...
Your mention of two batteries failing raises my suspicion. Were those two used to supply 12 volts? If so, the uneven load probably caused the failure. A...
Here's a collection of responses to recent postings. Fuel gauge: Someone suggested shutting off the stock fuel gauge when not running. This is usually...
No, they weren't used to supply the 12V accessory circuit. But, my car came wired with the fuel gage voltmeter constantly on. Two of the three batteries in...
Thank you all, It looks like I'll spend about a thousand dollars, preferably for Trojan T-145's, and with good care I will get good service and value....
My c- car had 3000 miles and had sat unused for 25 years. There were some signs of overheating. If the history of your car is unknown, brush replacement and...
The meter on mine says 01503, but the prior owner had her refurbished @ evperformance. Excellent job I must say. Very clean, and no complaints on the...
Does mechanical vibration affect batteries. Specifically, would it agitate the electrolyte in a positive way? Or would it lead to the demise of the plates?...
From what I've read, shaking up battery liquids is a good thing. It keeps the electrolyte from becoming stratified, improves charging efficiency, and may help...
I found the following in the manual about the brake light switch: On vehicles after serial number 2211, the brake lamp will also indicate that there may be a...
... No, I don't think it does. ... Yes, it's custom-made but since it's flat, no big deal. I just gave my broken windshield to an auto glass guy and he had me...

In the 'contactor' setup (normal C-Car) the batteries have three modes- 24 volts (two banks of 4 six-volt batteries, in parallel) through a dropping resistor...
Oh yea! Thanks for the info. I was worried because I was reading about imbalanced batteries, and load banks, and it got me worried. Because in trafffic I don't...
Hi Group its that time: It's been 3 years that I bought this baby to restore. Now things have changed and I think it needs a new owner. A typical C Car with...
