Duromax generator/starter wiring question

Thimmesch1 · 10-19-2013, 10:59 AM

when using the starter/generator with the duromax 16 hp.
do I need anything from the box with the key and circuit breaker?
there are 3 wires coming out,I am going to connect the low oil lead to a low oil light or buzzer.
what are the other 2?
where do they go?
Thanks

Looking at your pic I hope I'm right.Bottom left wire coming from behind your blue housing. 3 amp charge wire. Don't need if your using S/G. Wire on bottom right side coming out of motor block, thats your oil sensor. The wire in the middle coming down from top of your motor is your coil kill wire. It should be hooked up too a little small wire that was running in your wire harness that goes to your S/G. This wire in your wiring harness will be grounded when the peddle is not being pushed. Hope this helps and always use a meter to test before you hook anything up. MAKE SURE YOU DONT HAVE ANY POWER AT ALL GOING TO WIRE THAT HOOKS TO YOUR COIL WIRE. This is the wire at the top of your clone engine.

so, only one wire is needed... pretty much a kill switch?
and oil low light etc

Thanks

Hey Thimm, This is how I hooked mine up in the earlier post on my club car. I'm not sure about the low oil, I did not hook this up. But from the wiring that Mud put on here just trace it down. I did not use the starter thats on the clone engine. I use the stock starter/generater that my cart came with, I cut my switch on in the dash, I push my gas peddle and the cart cranks and runs, when I take my foot off gas peddle my motor cuts off. As far as I know this is the way that golf carts came stock. Hope this helps and we love pics. This is my 2 cents worth that most of the time I have to pay someone 5 dollars to let me speak.

If the cart had a magneto ignition to start with, then you can use the same kill wire it used. If it had a powered ignition like my G9 then you need a relay to kill it.

Great point Sho.. Knowledge is the key to success

For me, I just have to make a bunch of do-overs

After the 3rd time I blow sh#t up I ask everyone on here for advice.

the 295 should have had a magneto? anyone know?
sorry my first swap.
had to take the S/G apart and clean it first,turned over very hard
now it is nice & lubed up & ready to go
maybe test today then work on throttle choke & exhaust.
a lot more time consuming than expected!!
Thanks
Guys!!
