I have just got my cart all back together (88 ezgo). I had the engine out to replace the crank seals when I removed the starter I left everything hooked up and CAREFULLY set it aside . I even ran it last night for 30 seconds or so with the drive belt off all was great. Went out this morning put the drive belt on and the starter would turn but very slow and weak so I charged the battery with same results. I even tried a brand new battery the wire labeled A2 is getting extremely hot and smoking a little. I took the wire off carefully with 2 wrenches and cleaned it didnt change anything what should I do next?
