G1a5 yamaha, new starter causing problems.
I installed a new starter generator on the cart and i have the correct wiring diagram on my phone and checked it three times. When it starts and takes off seconds into driving it dies out and if i pull the brush cover i see a little smoke. The only reason i replaced it is because the nut on the drive side came loose and it messed up the shaft and pulley on the old starter generator, before that the old one ran great. I can't figure this out to save my life.

Re: G1a5 yamaha, new starter causing problems.
Aftermarket starter/generators are often junk, I have found them with dead shorts inside right out of the box.

Re: G1a5 yamaha, new starter causing problems.
Rule of thumb is: Where ever the smoke is coming from that is where the problem is.
I agree with CGtech, if its aftermarket, trash it and get a OEM one. |

Re: G1a5 yamaha, new starter causing problems.
Just would hate to waste the money if it's not 100%for sure the issue. Not sure if it's something at the solenoids or starter

Follow the smoke trail, it will lead you to the bad part.

Your starter is smoking, its not suppose to do that. Send it back and get a refund, Im sure they are use to it. |

Re: G1a5 yamaha, new starter causing problems.
Smoking from brushes, likely one of 2 issues. Either the brush or wire to it is grounding out. Or its hooked up wrong.
