Do I make new starter /generator wires or buy them?

fingerpicker · 03-29-2012, 09:43 PM

Hello, I have been in the process of repairing all my wiring. I live in a small town and can't find a lot of the correct stuff .I looked around to see if I could find the wires for sale on eBay, but didn't see them. I am not sure of the Gauge. I couldn't find any at the local hardware store. It is for my 81 2 cycle. The closest thing I see around is the red battery cable wires, which seems a bit more thicker. Thanks for any help.

I'd shout out to Scottyb and see what he has. Or any of the other site sponsors.

HI fingerpicker, I made my own wires for my cart, I used e-bay for bulk wire and connectors, you don't have to use red, and black colors, I used blue and black. I'll go and see if I can find what I got, and I'll post a link on my next message

the 1st lint is for the wire

http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_nkw=...lectronics_151

then this link is to a guy that has the connector you need, when I got mine I got 6-1/4", and 10-5/16" just to make sure I had enough for the job..

I hope this help you, when you connect the wire make sure to crimp the wire connector on then solder it on, I used a small torch to heat and then put the solder to it..

also I used

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-2-ADHESIVE...008897&vxp=mtr

just to make sure no water gets in, make sure to get the ADHESIVE LINED
it will make a water tight seal.. this guy sells it by the foot for $1.85 or 20 feet for $15.00 (free shipping) I got the 20 feet I find I'm all ways needing it for some thing..

also when it comes to the gauge of wire, "thicker is better" your old cart wires
are 10AWG the link to the wire I sent you are 6AWG "lots more copper"
