starter solenoid/relay

[EMK]

I think the relay went on my cart. Holding my foot down I have nothing but if I plink the solenoid with my finger it will start right up.

Looking up this part: JF2-H1950-00-00 its pretty expensive for a solenoid. my question is, why cant I use any 4 wire 12v heavy duty solenoid for it?

I'm a pretty good mechanic, but I see no difference in these except for the silver to copper contacts.

Has anyone needed to swap one of these out.

I already had a coil problem that I had posted on here and ended up swapping it out for a coil off of a 2 stroke moped and has been working fine ever since.

That would depend on the current demand of the coil. If its an Automotive starter solenoid, the coil will draw 10 amps. And is not for continuos duty operation. The coil could over heat and the switch contacts on the foot pedal that activate the coil will burn out.

definitly want to go with a Continuous Duty Solenoid (COLE HERSEE) is an excelent brand and most starter/alt repair shops carry them..

For your Yamaha golf cart (with possible exception of G1s, G3s and G5s, you can use any golf cart solenoid). EZGO solenoids are cheap. I have an EZGO solenoid on my G2.

Thanks guys.

So this one should work.......

Amazon.com: Continuous Duty Solenoid 80AMP 12V: Automotive

Not exactly that one, looks kind of cheaply made.

I said, any golf cart solenoid. Not automotive solenoids. Some models of golf cart solenoids can be purchased for as low as US$15.00. Probably less.

That was in response to Happy Campers post.

OK Fine....Point takin

I think we got all mixed up. I responded to your post with the link I found that also had a Cole Hersee. If that is the one you were talking about.

Yes that type, there are different amp ratings as well as intermidiate (usually plastic/compostie housing)and continuous duty (usually metal housing) I have used these in many different applications in my type of work and they have held up fine... was just a suggestion as a repair that wouldn't be costly. guess i was wrong according to kogieblack's reply, just tring to help out thats all...
