2008 Ezgo RXV starter generator getting hot

[Swarty73]

Took the starter to a shop, they bench tested it and it wasn't charging. Had hairline cracks in the brushes. Installed new bearings because it was apart anyway and new brushes, installed it and it works fine. Still gets hot but it's working. Not sure how hot these run but it you put a drop of water on the case, in 3 seconds it's evaporated.

You should start a new thread since you don't have an RXV. If the S/G is getting hot, how are the brushes inside? What's the running voltage on the battery?
