Re: G2 Driving me crazy
Thank you so much Dave I will try the test tomorrow and let you know. I don't have a 7 iron handy, but I do have a Baseball Bat I would like to use on it. LOL This is the best Forum on the net for info. I appreciate everybody's help. I have a long way to go but I learn something new on every cart I work on.
Thanks Earl |

Re: G2 Driving me crazy
I know a 12 ga. wire for a house is 20 amps. That is what I was using but stranded.

Re: G2 Driving me crazy
Not sure if the plates you are talking about are pressed on the shaft or isolated with a nonconductive bushing.
Hope dave or someone who knows will jump in. Hate to keep bringing it up but you havent mentioned how the ground cable looks or if you tried the booster cables as a ground jumper. Any local alternator shop in your area you can have the S/G tested at? |

Re: G2 Driving me crazy
The ground cables look pretty bad, I haven't been back to camp to try those things yet. I will be going back on Friday thru Monday. Brought the s/g home with me to test. Thanks

Re: G2 Driving me crazy
I cant find any ground cables on this cart except one small black wire from the back up alarm that is HOOKED UP. Where are they normally located? There is one wire that is spliced in with the ground cable from the batt, to the starter that goes to the voltage regulator. It is unhooked, if you hook it up and crank the engine it will start smoking too. I hooked the starter back up run a 4ga wire from the neg post to the engine. I connected it to the bolt that holds the S/G. Started cranking, smoke came out of the S/G turned it off took S/G back off. The connection that is hooked from the brushes holder to the lug for the ground for the batt burned in two. Any ideas starter bad? HELP

Re: G2 Driving me crazy
Could any one tell me where the main grnd cable for the engine to the frame is. The only one I can see is the one from the batt. to the starter. Is that it?

Re: G2 Driving me crazy
That is it. There is no frame ground and you don't want to use a frame ground. If you do you will keep blowing the main fuse.
