G29 - Brush/es going bad?
Good day gassers!
I was hoping an expert might be able to jump in and help point me in the right direction. Twice in the last month my 2016 gas G29 (non-EFI) cart has had a very hard time starting. At first I thought it was the battery, but I monitored/captured voltage for a week or so and that all appeared good (above 12.4 consistently). As it has been cold I have had to use the choke briefly to get cart going, but no problems there. The thing that has occurred just twice, from a parked position and after sitting at least overnight, is when you press the gas peddle, you hear a tiny bit of noise as the starter tries to turn the motor...it's a very faint sound and nothing happens...after plenty of presses, or a single constant pressing for maybe 10-20 seconds of the peddle, the motor will eventually kick over...SO.... I had read on the forum that maybe there are some thin spots on the armature assembly and to manually move the cart slightly, but that didn't have any impact...and then I was thinking maybe it's just the brushes going bad on the starter, but I don't really know if the starter on a gas card really has brushes, assuming so, but don't know. Could the brushes potentially be my problem? Any other suggestions appreciated as always.... |

I'd be checking the starter belt (smaller one) for tightness.

Thanks cgtech, will check the belt when it warms up a bit, or I decide to bundle up and check it....
