g16 starter rotation

[brycer]

hello all, I am a newbie and searched all i could but could not find what im looking for. I had the s/g go bad on my 2000 cart. I bought a replacement and hooked it up eactly how the old one came off but this new one has opposite rotation as the old one. Do i need to switch brushes around or can the wires just be changed? Thanks

Maybe the jumper lead is on wrong? positive 12 volts (from solenoid) should go to F2 (on the feild), negative 12 volts (from battery) should go to A1 (on brush ind cap) and there should be a jumper wire from A2 to F1 studs.

Sorry you took it that way Brycer. The comment was meant for Block. I did the same thing when I rebuiilt my cart. I didnt notice the starter turning backwards until I tried to fire the motor and the whole thing was running backwards. You need to not take stuff so serious geez I swear some peoples children

Dont worry Cajun this happens to most G8 owners. I did the same thing on one of my builds. Thank god i had another cart to look at and realize my mistake. Bryser caj wasnt directing anything towards you. There are a few of us that spend alot of time on here trying to help people out and nothing was ment towards you. You will have to excuse Cajun he owns a G8.

OK this was CNP from the post I started with the same problem this is how it should be wired and I'm done here:

Mike Mac:
Like block said; red jumper from F1 to A2. A2 is on alum. end plate. F1 I am guessing is between starter and motor. Cause this is where mine is.

Negative batt cable goes to A1 on aluminum end plate.

Solenoid lead to F2 on leading SIDE of case. Front side of car.

Huh!... Guess the ole man does know what he's talkin about!!

Good luck

I too had the same problem when I replaced the starter/generator on my G22. Thanks for the info Mike Mac and Small block on where the wires on the starter/generator, this solved my problem. The starter I purchased came with the wires in the wrong order so again thanks guys.
