Default Re: Star Classic massive mechanical/electrical problem. Please help

if its the same motor as in mine its likely the brushes are froze up and are arching like hell and not making a connection.
These motors have a bad designed brush box and they create corrosion that fuses to the brushes. Then they stop working if they burn up the brushes. if it hasn't gone too far just replace the brushes and clean up the brush box. while you have it apart change the bearing its easy and like 10$

I've done two of these motors now and the one in my club car was the same.
One brush had self destructed and the wire arched and fused itself to the brush box then blew a hole in it. IDK how it was running at all on three brushes. But had the same issue. was very erratic and would barely go 3mph after much use at all.

Pull the body and the motor and check out the brushes. They are probably stuck or worse. As long as it hasn't chewed up the armature you should be fine. just polish it with some emery cloth and change the brushes and bearing.

put up some pics and I can see if its the same motor I just rebuilt.
I can show you what cheaper parts to use.
The star parts are stupid and just overpriced of the same ones that go in my 2014 club car.

Fix it and sell the pofs I hate star carts.
