here theyare hope they come out good.
pic 1 one wire is there and the other isnt connected
pic 2 up close lable
pic 3 im pointing to the wire thats connected to the black box
pic 4 im using the end of the wire to point to were it comes from.

ill study the diegram some more when i get back from town. to far it looks like i need to add a green wire for the DF on the starter and a red wire for this black box

I'm not sure if that's your regulator or not.On mine it's a metal box about 2"X3" with a cover that can be removed with two screws.I think it could be the regulator since it has three poles, but I don't know enough to say for sure.

What's the possibility of adapting that Yamaha front end to the ez-go chassis?If the Yamaha has a locked up rear, and add to that you'll have to adapt an engine, I'd think adapting the front off the Yamaha might be a great deal easier.Or you might get on the Yamaha section and possibly swap for some parts you need.

Tip for freeing up body screws, whack em with a small hammer hard or softly with a BFH. Usually breaks them free of bondo/paint/rust. Just went through this with an '84 that had probably never been apart. Every body screw was being a huge pain until I gave em a few good whacks, then they freed right up.

i dont think the starter is any good

Quite possible with how long it's been sitting.Most likely can be reconditioned though so don't chuck it right away.Look around for a shop that can deal with DC motors.

Yea I'm going to try and clean it first and make some calls before I buy one and toss this one.


Thx for the info on the body screws I,ll try that. I did manage on getting the body panel for the muffler off by pushing hard.

Don't toss that motor, if you're getting into these old puppies you'll want all the parts you can get.If you REALLY want rid of it, box it up and I'll pay shipping.I'll throw you a $10 for packing it too.

Here's the starter/generator I recently purchased, the price is definitely right and I'm quite happy with it:
