Starting issue!

SCRAP · 04-23-2010, 03:01 PM

Ok fellas, I'm back already. I did search before posting, so maybe you guys can help. My cart is an '05 CCDS. I've had it about a week and now I'm having problems starting. Here's what happens: I turn the key w/ the gear selector in gear, it makes a noise like it's going to start, and the starter pulley just creeps over, then clicks. Tried another battery, started fine.... for a while, then same thing, no start. So here's what I think?

1: Starter/solenoid is bad.

2. Generator is bad., and I keep draining batteries.
or
3. Wiring/microswitch problem.....somewhere.

I don't know but I don't want to throw parts or money at the problem, and I need this thing to be reliable too!

LMK what you guys think, thanks.

Tell me about it. I've gone round and round trying to find the reason mine just quit and won't start unless I jump the big posts on the solenoid and give it throttle.

Start by putting a volt meter on battery. Whats voltage? leave meter connected and start cart in maintenance mode. Rev motor to approx 2000 rpm. Whats battery voltage?

I did check the one of the batteries, it read 12, then 11 volts. As far as revving to 2k, I can do that but I don't have a tach. Is 2k necessary?

Jumping in no a tach is not required it will seem fast to rev it up 2000
but rev it and watch the volts for a minute.
A charged bat will read 12.5

Alright DOOmsman, I'll give that a shot tomorrow when I get home. Thanks.

You know Ive been thinking of putting a volt meter gauge on my cart to watch the battery voltage when driving, idling or when its off. I think it is a great tool to have like an oil pressure gauge instead of the dummy light and an rpm gauge.
