Re: 1973 cart
Get a set of test jumpers and a volt ohm meter $10 to $100 hook them up and see what voltage you have.

Re: 1973 cart
The way I check for charging rate is to: Jack up one rear wheel, Fix a volt meter across the battery, the meter should read 12 volts. Start the engine and rev it up and the meter reading should increase to around 14 to 14 volts. If the meter reading does not increase the battery is not charging.

Yes there is! Download the service manual at

Re: 1973 cart
I think the engines are 9 to 11 HP but I am not sure. They are very good runners when set up without the governor.

Re: 1973 cart
The G1 can be 2 to 5 MPH faster than the Harley Probably due to later technology. Both are excellent machines!
