Starter/generator Problems

I bought a used 1991 ez go 4 stroke cart, It starts great runs great but the battery keeps going dead. So installed a new battery..same problem. So check the voltage at the battery when running only get 12volts. So next I changed the VR same thing only 12v. Then I put new brushes in the S/G. Same thing 12 volts. While it was running I grounded out DF wire from the S/G same thing 12volts. Also when I have it running and unhook a battery cable end it dies.I have double checked all wires everything is good. So if somebody can lead me to something else to try......Thanks

Well, check also if your battery needs replacement. How old is it?

[silverpony53]

It's a brand new battery

Just bought another new voltage regulator put it on...still no luck

Can a Harley v/r be rewired to work on 1991 ez go?

Also could the solenoid affect the charging system?

Change solenoid no Luck.....
Bought me a 12volt solar battery charger today, going to mount it on the roof n see if that will keep it charged until I figure the rest out. Ya I know it will only work on sunny days
