Replaced a regulator and now it won’t start
I recently fixed a charging issue on a friends gas golf cart by replacing the voltage regulator. It wasn’t charging at all and eventually killing the battery. I ran it around about 10 times to make sure it fixed the problem and was good.
I dropped it back off at my friends and a week later when he went to use it, it wouldn’t go anywhere. He assumed the battery was dead so charged it but that didn’t change anything. I have it back now and the battery is fully charged. I get power to the control side of the solenoid and the output to the starter/generator when the pedal is depressed but it still won’t start. I checked the 1 fuse it has and it is good. It does have lights on it and when I returned it to him they worked. Now that I have it back again, theu will not work. What could have possibly gone wrong and where should I start?? |

Re: Replaced a regulator and now it won’t start
If you have "output to the starter/generator when the pedal is depressed" check that you have a good ground at the terminal on the end cap of the starter generator. If you have power and ground it sounds like a bad starter generator.

Re: Replaced a regulator and now it won’t start
Honestly I thought checking the grounds was silly because they looked really good. I clean the cable from the starter generator to the frame and the battery ground cable to the frame and everything works great again. Thanks for the advice, sometimes we all need a jumpstart kick lol. 🤦*♂️Can’t believe it was that easy.
