Now hook it to the power terminal on the other side of the solenoid and it should read 'zero'. If it reads 36 volts - trouble - bad solenoid. If it reads 'zero', depress the accelerator slightly and the solenoid should actuate and the voltmeter should read 36 volts - solenoid is good. If is solenoid is bad, get a new solenoid check your solenoid

It could be that it's jammed or stuck in this position. Check if your brake pedal feels the same then check your gear shifter and make sure nothing is disconnected or loose and dirty. Sometimes if you just ease up on the gas pedal and not put it to the floor it will run. That happens a lot after we store our carts for the winter. Hope you get it going. Good luck.
