A couple of months ago, I purchased a CitiCar -- Serial Number 075SR2185. It is a an SV/48 model, built in 1975, and is the 1,185th CitiCar built.
It was in operating condition when loaded onto the delivery truck, but was inoperative when it arrived -- completely dead, no lights on the dash, or anything, even though the batteries were fully charged. On the seller's advice, we replaced the 12-volt motorcycle battery under the dash and everything now lights up but, despite the fully charged batteries, when we press on the "gas" pedal, all we get us a single click. Can anyone tell from my description what the problem is? Or what steps we should follow to isolate the problem? Or where to look? Also, what type of electrician do we contact to trouble-shoot the car when it breaks down? The car's electrical system, charger, motors, and so on, had been updated by the previous owner, so you'd think it would be operating. But nooooooooo!. ABo Beaumont and his wife and family were neighbors of mine when I lived in Columbia, MD, and we became good friends. So it has been a passion of mine to own and operate one of his cars. When I saw that this one had been rebuilt, I jumped at the chance to buy it. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Jim Schmitt
