Re: (ET) wiring diag help needed...

John, I have no jerky foot throttle, it is smooth all the way from low to
high.  Make sure the pot is moving smooth when you move the throttle, it
could be a machinical problem.  Sometimes I mow in L at Med. to High speed
if the grass is high.  Sometimes in D about med. speed.  D seems to use 
less
power then L.  Or it could be a bad spot on the speed pot.  Dirt can cause 
a
jerky responce.  I have 2 pots, one for cruise control.  The C.C. pot is an
old one I had in my junk box.  It is dirty and sometimes responds jerky or
even stops when I move it.  It's like a cheep hi-fi with a noisey volume
control.

I do get less regen in the higher gears.  I think it is just a machinical
thing do to the gears ratios, D2 has almost none, LL stops fast.

Ask Steve, about the time delay on braking, I have none.   The brake 
problem
could be a software thing.  I have Bill's new brakes and they will lock the
back wheels with just a light touch of the toe, they are better then the
power brakes on my new truck.
