Re: (ET) C-185 Speed Issue 9/10/19

[PH <pholzsc yahoo com>]

Hi All,

Speed pedal problem solved.  Note, power resistor bands were clean, no rust and no burns.  Not bad for 35 years of use on a previously owned ET.

The relay panel in the front battery area, has five [open frame] relays and the second relay from the left have a bad wire connector on the relay coil.

I replaced the wire [female] connector  and now I have all speeds.

Wire [female] connectors on the other four relays do not look tight and I will replace these soon.

Does anyone have a drawing of these five "open frame" replays with details about their functions on the ET?  If yes please send a drawing to all, since this will help troubleshooting our ETs.

Thanks again for all your suggestions,

Paul Holzschuher

HI All ET EXPERTS,

My C-185 has performed almost flawlessly since 1985.  

But today when mowing, the top speed [pedal to the metal] seemed slightly slow.  

I pressed Cruse button and speed increased? 

Could the high speed pedal switch be bad or is this a diode issue or other issue?

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks,
