Re: 89 marithon 2 stroke wiring
It doesn't really matter, but we seem to put the grounds on the small right side terminal. The other side gets all of the positives. The big lugs are just a pass through. Pick the one closest to your battery for convenience.

They do mount upside down from your picture, but like CA said above it really doesn't matter just make it convenient for the wiring

Re: 89 marithon 2 stroke wiring
Humm.. little aggravated. checked and triple checked all the wiring. put the new Hei in and it started for about 10 seconds and killed the hei. I wounder if this new starter/gen is bad. i did not put it in and don't know who did.

Re: 89 marithon 2 stroke wiring
You might want to try a different brand of module. Some are more robust than others.
There was a guy a few months ago on here that was burning up all of his. I used an Accel 35361. It was $15 in 2013 when I bought it. Amazon now has it for $60.99. Nine years and still running strong every day. |

i asked if it was a borg warner or something brand name. the computer info said superior parts. probably a Chinese knock off. i ordered another brand. we will see. it was running good before i put the new regulator in with the mod. it just was not charging. |

Re: 89 marithon 2 stroke wiring
ok this is where im at today. i believe the switch on the throttle linkage is what burning out the HEI. it's shorting out. it only makes a connection in random places and the motor dies until you release and push the peddle back down. it never makes the motor run in the same position. i bought a box of CBE4 HEI off ebay to do testing with. 4 for $25. i know their Chinese. i wired one in and before i started it i took off the red wire from the peddle to the solenoid off. i jumped a wire from the battery+ to the yellow and green wire stem on the solenoid. the solenoid clicked on. i jumped the red wire from the pedal to start it. it started fine and stayed running like i knew it would from being direct wired. i put my meter on the battery and it is only getting 11.3 at idle and 12.5 full throttle. i just installed a new voltage regulator and solenoid. someone has replaced the starter/gen sometime in 2021 according to the manufactures date on it. so it this point #1 i think its bad or #2 someone shorted it out while tiring to figure out why its not running Or #3 the wrong one for this cart.

Re: 89 marithon 2 stroke wiring
Remove the switch for the backup buzzer and put it in the place of the pedal switch. They are the same.
I drilled my pedal switch apart, cleaned the contacts, and pop riveted it back together. You could try that. |

Re: 89 marithon 2 stroke wiring
well, here is where i am at.
new starter/gen. new solenoid. new regulator. still no charge. wired correctly. wires tested for connectivity on each wire, at each end. disconnected the green wire and grounded it out. volts jumped up to 16.8+ running battery at 12.6 voltage reg disconnected. eng running high rpm. 11.7 volt. voltage reg connected. eng running high rpm 12.6 volt. removed the cover off the regulator. started the cart. pushed the arm on the regulator to one side and the volts went to 14.1. i guess this new regulator is bad. ? i will order a new one and see what happens. any other ideas ?/ |
