Possible Starter/generator issue
I purchased a used 1991 gas club car. Did the whole replacement kit with new fuel filters, carb, fuel pump, battery, spark plug, and starter/generator. I've seen posts about getting cheap starter generators, but I went through golfcartking and bought a high output S/G at about $260.
The problem is the belt has trouble turning. Almost like there isn't enough power to turn it. After a while the starter starts smoking. How do I tell if the starter is hooked up correctly? How can you tell what tension you need to have on the belt? Do i have it too tight? Also, I took the top off the motor, cleaned it out and replaced the gasket. Just getting frustrated with what I am missing. |

Re: Possible Starter/generator issue
Does the starter/generator run fine without the belt? Belt should be set pretty tight, but it's one of those things that's hard to tell over the internet if you've got it too tight.
Here's your wiring diagram: |

If you have a glazed over belt, you could definitely go too tight. I am not saying that is related to the issue you are having. |

Re: Possible Starter/generator issue
The starter spins great without a belt on it. How do I know if it is spinning the correct direction as well. I think mine is currently spinning counter-clockwise.
Also, sometimes there is a delay or no spinning at all. But that may be me pushing the gas pedal too many times in a row too quickly. |

If that is the original engine CCW should be the correct rotation.

Re: Possible Starter/generator issue
Can you tell me if this is hooked up right. I have two ground wires. The top one goes through the wire look to the chassis. The bottom one you can see also goes to the chassis. Went are there two grounds for one bolt? Or should the bottom wire be attached somewhere else?
