[CLUBCARGREENMACHINE]

i just thought i would post this, because i recently had a problem with my starter. it would only start when i smacked the starter with a hammer. it was the brushes! these are very cheep, and easy to install.
*starter is found under black access cover behind seat*
1. remove all wire connected to starter, and tape them off
2. remove the 3 bolts holding starter on
3. remove starter, take it to the bench.
4. remove all 4 rubber covers around the starter
5. using compressed air, blow out the old dust. ( dont breathe it in)
6. unscrew all 4 brush wires (1 per brush, per rubber cover)
7. with a flat blade screwdriver, carefully pry up the spring holding the brush down, dont let go!
8. while holding the spring up, pull on the wire and the brush should come out.
9. still holding the spring put the new brush in.
10. release the spring, and be sure that is is in the grove on the top of the brush.

Make sure the brushes are seated properly! My star/gen was totally rebuilt just before it was replaced and after maybe 100 hours of running the cart it wouldn't start because two of the brushes weren't seated properly.

Also while it's out replace the bushings/bearings and resurface the armature (where the brushes ride) with some fine emorycloth or if it's really worn chuck it up in a drill (poor mans lathe) and smooth the area with a fine file.
If your gonna do it, do it once.

yes make sure you put the brush in the right way.,..........the brush is angled at the end that rides the armature, you,ll see if you have to take them out..........one last thing they sell 2 sets of brushes one for C.W. engine and one for C.C.W engine...................................
