Club Car just quit!
Have a 1990 gas club car that was just given to me. Had a problem from the start. At first when the gas peddle was depressed there was a hesitation maybe 3-9 seconds during which there was a whine, then the engine would turn over and it would run fine. I charged the battery thinking it was low voltage not allowing the starter to turn over. When fully charged it still had a hesitation and whine prior to turning over and once turned over the cart would run fine. I lifted the seat up and you could see the pully turn approx 1/2 inch and then there was a whine for approx. the same amount of time and then it would turn over and run fine. Then i got onto the cart and now NOTHING!....
There is "no click" from the solenoid, and the battery is fully charged. Is the starter/generator bad? The whine lends me to believe the starter was going bad and finally gave in, but im no expert. All replies are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. BDW593 |

Re: Club Car just quit!
could be the generator or the voltage regulator not charging the battery and giving the weak starter generator.......not sure on the whine part though

Re: Club Car just quit!
First off...Check the S/G belt for wear, if it's too loose, the starter will spin but the engine won't,
or if it's too tight, nothing will turn over at the compression stage, the S/G will whine, and the fuse will blow. Next... There's a 10 amp fuse is in the black box, in the engine compartment, just below the drivers butt, remove the bolt(s) that holds the cover on, and you'll see it, most likely it blew when you continued to try to get it started, It's normal for the fuse to do that, so, replace the fuse, and adjust the S/G belt! (been there... done that!) Hope this helps, and welcome to BGW! |

Re: Club Car just quit!
Got it fixed!
It was the micro switches. Replaced them and now things run great. Tightened the s/g belt and the old cart seems to be running fine. Thanks for the assistance. |
