Re: white wire coming out of engine cover?
[QUOTE=zlangdon;564374]brushes in starter are great, brought it to a very good shop that rebuilds starters, generators, etc and the brushes are like brand new. so thats not the case. after this happened i put a voltmeter on the battery and it had 11.6 volts eventho it was acting like it was a dead battery when i went to start the cart? any ideas im beginning to think its the voltage regulator. so with the cart running the voltmeter should continously read 18 volts correct?[/QUOTE]
No, not quite correct. Under normal circumstances, with the engine running, you should see ~16 volts. What I suggested was the test to see if the VR is working. When you ground the lead the VR should go to maximum which is 18 volts. You would not normally want to see that output as it would overcharge the battery.
