Default Starter generator

I have a ezgo txt gas golf cart with the 295cc Robins engine. When I hit the gas the starter generator barely turns then after it warms up it doesn't move at all. The battery is a 860 CCA and strong, does this sound like the starters gone bad.

Before you condemn the starter generator check that all the electrical connections are clean & tight - particularly the grounds. I've seen the slow/no turn caused by bad grounds many times.

if all the connections and grounds are good, it's likely the brushes in the S/G - a new set is around $15 and easy to install, however if You keep trying to start it when the're bad (which it sounds like) you're going to burn the armature ...

If it's tight, grounds are good, and the batt is good, open that bugger up and check those brushes.

12.8 volts everywhere I checked all the way to the starter/generator and that was under a load. I just ordered a new one, figured I can fix the old one and have a spare or sell it.
