Powakaddy trolley keeps FADING!!!!

[imran_ali]

I have had it with my trolley now!!!!! It seems to alway want to go to the right. today it went into the bunker for the third time!!!! The single wheel on the front seems to be in a central position, so I presume it SHOULD go straight???? I have tyres on my trolley and they seem to have enough air in them. any advice????

Sell it and buy a Gokart!

haha Del

my trolley pulls right slightly, you will find it probs the left wheel spinning more than the right or one of them is mis aligned slightly (bent maybe?)

 

[CMAC]

my PK also pulls right, very very annoying as I just got it (2nd hand), however the heavy battery is on the right so I cant see it ever going straight

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Sell it and buy a Gokart!

Simples. I totally agree

Check that the wheels are properly engaged into the clutches. If the pins are not correctly engaged then the wheel will not be connected and the trolly will pull to one side.

Maybe your swingpath is off............

No, this is the new PowaKaddy Laws.

Well have you tried aiming off to the left? If you also have the trolley slightly open to the line you aim it on but closed to the target then surely it will go where you want it to, shouldn't it? Trying to be clever here, I am sure I will get a clip round the ear from JUSTONE if I have got it wrong.........

Are you sure as in my experience this is the major cause of them going in a wonky line. The hole at the front is a slot and the "axle" doesn't need to be very far from perfect to cause a problem.

Is all the weight in your golf bag on the right hand side...just a thought

 

[imran_ali]

Weight in my bag i balanced. It never done that with the plastic wheels. it seems to have got worse with the tyres???

 

[DaveM]

Just keep ajusting the wheel alinement, until it tracks true. Simples! ...

Really mine hooks, but then itis left wheeled

Could be the clutch, but most likely designed with more weight on the right side simples.

Imran_ali, you have been told 2 of the main causes, unbalanced bag and incorrectly alligned front wheel. There is third cause that you can get with inflatable tyres. If the air pressure in each tyre is different, the trolley will turn to the side where the low pressure tyre is. You could simple swap the wheels and if the trolley then "hooks" you need to sort the air pressures, if it still "fades", then adjust the front wheel.

 

[MadAdey]

A lot of good ideas on here. But have you tried the obvious? When was the last time you gave your trolley a servicing? Have you tried taking the wheels off and giving the axles a good clean and grease them up? Think about how crappy your trolley looks in this weather after a round, you may just have a dry axle that is not moving freely.

Is this a 2 motor remote job..............if it is then move both wheels out so that it can be pushed with no power or drag……push the trolley after that and check it runs true……… if it doesn’t, then true up the front wheel until it does. Re-engage the wheels then see if it runs true with the remote under power. If not, then check the motor bias, the little indicator with the spot. If its knocked or moved then the power to the motors will be uneven…..resulting in it moving off slightly. Re-adjust until it runs true.

Thanks guys....
