Re: 1983 ezgo gas starter generator problem
First off when you remove the battery cable the cart will die so if that is your problem then you have no problem. However if I have misunderstood what you ar trying to do and you want to test your charging circuit then -:
Fully Charge your battery and note the battery voltage 1) Check for loose, broken wiring. 2) Raise rear of cart and attach a volt meter between the regulator's red and black wires. 3) Start engine and run at mid speed, making note of the meter reading. 4) Reading should be between 14 to 16 volts. 5) If reading is above specs, check for a grounded green wire from the starter/gen. 6) If no rise in voltage, disconnect green wire from starter/generator ** and temporarily ground to frame. 7) If voltage rises within specs, replace voltage regulator. If the voltage does not rise then the generator is defective and the first step would be to check the brushes. ** It is important to place a thin wrench under the wire to prevent the stud turning and ripping the wire off the stud inside the generator Dave |
