Can starter/generator be wired to run the opposite way
I have a 1989 Clubcar Carryall II. I have an extra starter/generator that runs the opposite way of the one on my cart and I am wondering if it can be rewired to run the opposite way so I can keep it for a spare.

ONLY if it's an aftermarket S/G, if it's a stock CC S/G it may not reverse the rotation!

Re: Can starter/generator be wired to run the opposite way
Thanks for the replies, haven't had a chance to test it yet but I think it's a CC S/G. Is there no way to reverse the CC S/G it swapping wires on A1 and A2 don't work? Probably won't have time to test for a day or two but will update when I do.

Re: Can starter/generator be wired to run the opposite way
I wouldn't mind being proven wrong if it works, because, I haven't really tried it!
I've read that it may start the engine but won't charge the battery, or it just stays the same rotation no matter which way the wires are. Good luck! |

Re: Can starter/generator be wired to run the opposite way
Thanks for the help....I reversed the wires and was able to get the S/G to rotate the other way. I cannot comment on whether or not it will charge, can that be tested off of the vehicle or does it only generate when the engine starts and takes over?

Subscribed in order to find out if it charges.

It should charge. Use a volt meter on the battery while at WOT. You should see between 14-15 volts.
