G1 Charging ? How to Test?
Could someone tip me on how to test if a G1 gas is charging the battery? I have a voltmeter but don't know which connections to test to see if it's charging. I also imagine I'll have to block it up so it can be running while doing the test ? I was having trouble with the cart running when the gas pedal was pressed. I asked a question on this forum (THANKS) checked and cleaned the connections, and ended up replacing the battery & she ran great. I just want to make sure the new battery is getting charged. Thanks--- Mike

Set the digital voltmeter to 20VDC & check the battery state of charge voltage before the test. ie: 12.84 v or whatever. Then start the motor and recheck battery voltage with the motor running above idle speed. Voltage will increase with generator working.

Re: G1 Charging ? How to Test?
Like Scotty said......You should read 14.5 to 15.5 volts as rpms encrease. Your stock Yamaha voltage regulator is adjustable. Take the cap off, the is a screw and jam nut...loosen jam nut and turn screw in (to increase) or out. Make shure you put the cap on and recheck voltage readings, they can change.
