loose motor shaft?
I noticed that when I re-installed my motor from a seperate fix that the free end shaft was loose...it makes some noise too when driving. That shaft shouldn't be loose...Bearings gone bad? they didnt look damaged...

Re: loose motor shaft?
Top to bottom, left to right or in and out?
My shaft on my 2003 DS has about 1/32 in/out play. Zero in all other directions. |

Re: loose motor shaft?
Bearing is gone.
If it gets too much play the motor armature could hit the field poles and that will be bad. What cart type is this? I don't know how to replace that bearing. Hopefully is can be done without tearing the case apart. Experts here will let you know for sure. |

Re: loose motor shaft?
Seems the case has to be split to fix this.
What type of cart is this? http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...t-removal.html |

Re: loose motor shaft?
i wish I knew what kind of cart it is...and the motor has no ID info at all other than numbers stamped on every little piece but none of them come up in a search...this is the closest one I can find to ...it actually looks identical
https://www.vintagegolfcartparts.com/Item/ME_UsedMtr It might be an old melex...POS is what it is...sucking my money down :( |
