92 Gas Club Cart clicks no turnover

Kel_C123 · 08-24-2021, 02:51 PM

I have a 92 gas Club Car Ds with Kawasaki motor. Original issue was with generator which has been replaced and cart was running fine for a couple of months. Then the issue started to be intermittent starting and delayed starting like there wasnt enough power to turn it over. Battery is good the solenoid is good seemed as if voltage regulator was bad so that was also changed along with microswitch in cam box along with FNR microswitch and still not turning over the only thing happening is the solenoid clicks once pedal is engaged. Next step? Ignition key switch or ignitor and rpm limiter im stuck and not sure which route to take next... also all belts are tight motor is not locked up either.

I've kinda fought this same issue. I think mine keeps burning up starters. I would take the starter/generator off and have it tested.

Also, I think my voltage regulator was frying my starter, along with my new voltage regulator frying my new starter.

Good Luck.

Check the little wire on the back side of the starter generator. Make sure its not loose. I believe the little wire is the wire that activates the starter generator. If the solenoid is clicking but nothing is trying to turn over, id assume theres no power getting to the starter generator. Maybe check to see if it gets voltage with the pedal pressed. I believe its green but im not positive on that. Its the smallest wire on the starter. I thing maybe 14 G. Also, check the ground cable. Just something to check. Good luck.

The little green wire is voltage out to the regulator, that is not in the starting circuit.
There is a difference between volts and amps especially in the starting circuits.
You might test the whole big cable circuit from battery to solenoid to starter and read battery voltage everywhere, what you are lacking is the amps to turn the starter.
Check all of your grounds, battery cables and cable ends, the engine cradle is rubber isolated from the frame so there are grounding straps from frame to engine as well as the ground cable to the starter.
Four things will keep it from turning as long as you have 12V going to the solenoids small post,
Dead Battery, bad solenoid, loose/corroded battery cable connection positive or negative, or bad starter,
