please help me diagnosis starter generator on easy go 88
so I finally got my golf cart going running strong I'm lovin it. before we start driving around a lot the battery was fully charged 100 percent. later on after driving it a lot I noticed that the starter would not turn over and the fuel pump wouldn't run either and I even noticed that the headlights were very dim. so I threw it on charge and my charger told me that there is only 8 percent of the battery left and I was at nine volts. other words my battery was just dead. I sue my starter generator is not working how can this be fixed without buying a new starter or can it be rebuilt cheaply.

Re: please help me diagnosis starter generator on easy go 88
I just replaced the brushes on my Yamaha starter/ gen. bearings were good and I cleaned up the armature myself. They cost 30.00 local. Mine would charge just wouldn't start all the time. Don' know about the ez-go.

I would check the brushes as lurch said. After 1000 rpm's the starter turns into a generator and if the brushes are wore it won't charge the battery. You can clean the armature with some red scotchbrite.

Had kind of the same issues, had my start/gen rebuilt, found out I had a bad voltage regulator.

Re: please help me diagnosis starter generator on easy go 88
so I learned that my VR is good and that the problem is in the generator.
so I took it apart and found that a wire was broken where the green wire goes in to the terminal |

A story with a happy ending, nice. Glad the diagnosis of the regulator worked out.
