starter/generator G1
Some help from the DC motor guru's please. It appears that the unit is wired as a series field/armature. However it looks like the field current is opposite to the Armature current. Is this so and if it is could you not get more starting torque by having F1 connected to A2 for forward and F1 connected to A1 for reverse??
Are they worried about no load over speed? All thoughts and comments welcome. |

Re: starter/generator G1
People run v-twins with these generators, I put in a 16hp clone and it starts just fine. I doubt they could be wired differently but I didn't investigate.

Re: starter/generator G1
I'm not sure why you would bother changing it, but the G9 manual says shunt coil for charging and series coil for starting. 0.6Kw starting output. This is G9, I would guess the G1 is similar except it runs both directions.

Re: starter/generator G1
Thanks, Im not sure I will change it yet either. I have trouble reaching forward while sitting due to back surgery and fusion. It just seems natural to reach down with my right hand and select forward or reverse then hit the pedal. I will only have to reach forward for the ignition switch once.

Re: starter/generator G1
To go forward, turn key clockwise. To go reverse, turn key counter clockwise. Is that difficult even with your situation? Just asking.

Re: starter/generator G1
Its Ok. I understand how to change it from forward to reverse and back again. Maybe I will just move the dash controls completely to the rear cowl. In my case I am rodded and fused from my butt to the base of my neck. I do not twist or bend, I lean, shuffle my butt, and kneel to get at stuff. To back up I need to sit almost sideways in order to see behind me. With one hand on the steering wheel and the other over the back of the seat its just awkward to reach the key again.

Re: starter/generator G1
The G2/9 have the key next to the shifter under the seat, maybe it would be best to just move it there? G2/9 have no controls in front at all, the key/shifter/choke are all under seat front in center. I put my light switch there too but I have bumped it and turned the lights on, I put a lighted rocker switch because another guy had a toggle switch broken off there. Most of the time little kids kick it on if that happens so I might move that up front. Wow, and I thought my back hurt from an old injury you must have been through some fun with that deal. Back problems just plain suck you can't do much without it. Another option might be to figure out how to mount the key up high behind the steering wheel, or part way up the column.

Re: starter/generator G1
Yup there are days for sure. I like the idea of going the G2/G9 route. Hope to get working on the cart again this week.
