Default 78 EZGO wiring for gas cart

I have a 1978 EZGO three wheel gas cart. I just got the engine tuned up and put new seals in it. I got a new starter/generator for it and when I took off the old one I tagged all of the wires but in rewiring it I can't seem to get it to go now. Does any one have a wiring chart with the #s of the posts on it? I got one off of VintageGolfCarts.com but it has very few actual proper #s on it. Can any one help?

If you have a 78 ezgo your starter/generator should be internal. I have a 79 and I use that same wiring diagram and its worked out for me several times. You might want to post your serial number so one of us can help you identify what year your cart is. If I'm correct in 80 they put the starter on top of the motor. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I guess what I am saying is that I'm not smart enough to figure out which posts they mean since the schematic is not marked DF, F1 & F2. Originally the heavy wire from the solenoid ran to the F2 post of the starter/generator (s/g), the schematic does not show it that way. By the way I have a Robin engine with an external s/g and it is original. I guess I could read the schematic if it labeled the end points. Even the A,B, C & D posts on my F&R Switch are not marked on the cart where I can see them but that looks like a no-brainer. Thanks again

Sitting here thinking, by internal do you mean a one piece unit? If that's it, then that is what I've got. The s/g sits on top of the engine and runs with a v-belt to the engine. the v-belt sits closest to the engine with the clutch/varidrive belt sitting behind that.

You don't have a 78 it has to be 80 and up which is a good thing!! I'm sure someone will be able to help just stand by. WELCOME to BGW greatest guys & gals around.

Your numbers match a 78 but you need to supply us with a pic, Someone may have upgraded to the later engine.

Welcome DEW, Look in the tech guy thread at the top of the ;isting and the about half way down is wiring diag. and manuals thread. look there and see if one for an 80's cart might help you.
