I got to see a Citicar today!
Rich drove his orange 1975 Citicar to the Milwaukee EV build day.
It's pretty nice looking. Love the color.
I was able to see on his why my parking brake doesn't work. I am missing a part! I will have to see if I can find it in one of the two parts buckets I have! They I can get the parking brake working! Whoo Hoo!
I brought my charger for the Citicar with as well.
We hooked it up with a lightbulb as a load and tested it. We were able to get it working enough to get 60 volts out of it.
At home later, after being interrupted by teenage boys wanting to check out my "cool" electric car, I got the charger working. I had to open it up and change an internal resistor to get to the right voltage, but then it worked fine.
Mark, who has a Commuta Car, was also there, so he and Rich and I were talking C-Cars a lot. He has a bunch of spare parts that seem to be from a Citicar instead of a Commuta Car.
I smell a C-Car project day coming up!!!
The car is charging at 10 amps right now. I will check out working on the parking brake sometime soon too.
