Starter wiring question
I'm helping my father in law fix up a 2006 EZGO ST Sport 2 with the MCI 352 engine. We got this as a project and it was missing parts and the wiring was mostly missing, no voltage reg, no ignition, engine locked up, etc. I have the engine running now and I'm trying to understand how a few things should work since I've never had a golf cart before.
I used the GM HEI ignition modification I saw on here and a ford solenoid to start it. I have a new gas pedal micro switch, checked how it functions and it is normally open. When I press the accelerator pedal the switch will close and stay closed. If I wire this to the ford solenoid it will continuously run the starter motor even when the engine is running. Is this normal or am I missing something? (I attached a picture of the box the switch goes in, this is how I found it so I have nothing much to go by.) Another question I have is about the clutch, without the belt on should it be moving when the engine revs up? I don't know if it needs drag from the belt for it to start working. Thanks, Stan. |

Re: Starter wiring question
You need a constant duty solenoid (a standard car/truck solenoid will do just what you are describing, namely keep the starter running until it burns out) - the style used on snowplows, etc will work in a pinch, but it's best to pop the extra $7-10 for the correct one for your cart
