93 club car gas, minor starting problem
93 club car gas, when I press the peddle, sometimes starts fine, other times when I press the peddle, you can hear the solenoid clicking, let off peddle and press again it will start up. It does this on a few other club cars at the course also. I have swapped solenoids and same situation. Sometimes have to press the peddle 3 or 4 times or more before it starts. Battery is charged up. could it be just a weak battery?Any suggestions will be appreciated, Jim

Re: 93 club car gas, minor starting problem
It could be the brushes in your starter. You can check this easily.
Take the seat off. Stand on the side the clutch is on. Press the pedal. When the solenoid clicks and the motor doesn't spin, keep holding the pedal down and carefully turn the clutch a little. If the motor spins now, it is more than likely the brushes . Another thing you can check is the ground wire from the starter to the frame. I have seen these corrode up where the ground connects to the frame. Take the ground loose and clean the terminal and frame. |

Re: 93 club car gas, minor starting problem
One quick easy ground problem test is to run a wire from the neg battery post to the neg side of the solenoid (small post).
If it stops acting up then you have a bad or missing ground wire. Alot of people seem to think they are not important and leave them unhooked. |

Re: 93 club car gas, minor starting problem
The cheap and easy way out sounds good to me. I am assuming the Blue wire would be the small post ground side, but I don't want to run it to the battery until I know for sure. (don't want to blow something) Doesn't look like the original solenoid either. There is one Orange wire not connected to anything and only one wire (red/white) connected to one of the micro switches near the f/r switch. you can check the pictures and see if something looks wrong, Thanks, Jim

Re: 93 club car gas, minor starting problem
The lower micro switch is a grounding switch for the coil when pedal is released.
It looks like the orange/white wire was for backup buzzer. I notice the top blade is broken off of the back micro switch behind the F/R shifter. The solenoid is a White-Rogers cont duty solenoid so it might be a replacement for the oem sol. It will work fine. |

Re: 93 club car gas, minor starting problem
Just edited my above post due to error in memory and gave wrong info. Check the stickies for the 92 wiring diagram. I could read it enough to see I made a mistake but that's about it.
Blue wire should feed 12v/hot from key switch. Orange wire provide ground by way of accelerater micro and neutral lockout micro. Run jumper wire from neg battery post to post with orange wire and try it. |
