2000 Yamaha G16 Issue
Today I was driving my G16 and it was running great. I stop, go do some stuff for a little while and hump back on it and it won't start. The fuse in that black panel is good. After opening that black box, checking the fuse and then jumping back on it took right off. Is this a lose connection, solenoid sticking, stop switch .....?
Any thoughts on different things it might be would be awesome. |

Re: 2000 Yamaha G16 Issue
Also are there ways of eliminating things without buying the stuff first?

Re: 2000 Yamaha G16 Issue
Does it click when pedal pressed? If not, are the 2 small wires on the main solenoid reading when pedal pressed.?

Re: 2000 Yamaha G16 Issue
The cart is actually my mother in laws so I was not around it after Saturday. Her neighbor came and looked at it, cleaned up all the connections and he said that he could hear a click every time. He then said that he tapped on the starter/generator and it took off. He said it happened a few more times and said every time when he tapped on it it would take off.
With that being said, does that make sense? I thought if the starter generator had a flat spot is when it has issues. I am not opposed to telling her to buy a new starter/generator, but thought I would ask here first. Also, I have been looking on ebay, and are there certain types of starter/generators that I should look at? it seems like the prices vary from $109 to $170. See links below. FYI- I took a pic of the tag under the seat. Here is the info: Year: 2000, Model: G16A, Power 7.1 KW, JNG-F4236-40 http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Starter-...FZFpGX&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-STARTER-...dWLo-i&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-Golf-...FZJ112&vxp=mtr |

Pop off the little black rubber cover on the starter generator and look at the brushes they may be worn if they are I'd replease them with oem brushes may cost about the same as new aftermarket starter generator but quality wise this is the way to go if it is the brushes

Re: 2000 Yamaha G16 Issue
I really don't want to do that as I have someone that is going to install it themselves. I would rather just buy on that he can unbolt and bolt back in.

Re: 2000 Yamaha G16 Issue
Thanks for the insight guys, however as mentioned some guys is going to install it for my mother in law as I don't live near her. Her town operates on golf carts.
Is everyone convinced it is the starter/generator? |

Re: 2000 Yamaha G16 Issue
I'm convinced it's the brushes. If you buy a starter generator (to fix a $25 brush problem), get the expensive OEM one. The aftermarket one has given me trouble on several occasions.

Re: 2000 Yamaha G16 Issue
Ok. I may replace the brushes as I have to make a few trips back that way. She will just be without a cart for a week.
Now the question is, is there a good thread/video on how to replace the brushes? I like to think I am mechanically inclined, so hopefully I can do it. TIA everyone! |
