1981 SCT VW Rabbit Controller Problems
Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2008 10:23 am
Hey all,
I was poking around the web looking for some info on this neat EV i'm now working on. it is a 1981 SCT VW Rabbit. this thing looks exactly like the one on sharkeys site, right down to the rims except mine has a brown interior not a blue one like sharkey's has. anyway i'm having some problems. the vehicle was running for sometime until recently on one day when i went to take the car out for a spin. the accelerator seems to have no effect on the rpm of the motor. I think (i'm no engineer) I have narrowed it down to the Field strength regulator. has anyone worked on these vehicles? i would love to compare notes. i have a ton of schematics and drawings for the vehicle that i would be willing to trade for advice/help on what to test or replcae to get this fun vehicle back up and running.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
