Just toasted my 3rd starter/generator?
This will be my 3rd starter /generator in the last 5 years. 2004 precedent fe290
last time I switched the s/g I changed battery and voltage regulator. But my battery was always sizzling after a ride. Im sure that not right. Riding today at full tilt heard a noise and she just slowed down and quit. Got her home and pulled the black cap off and parts just fell out. Whats going on? |

Re: Just toasted my 3rd starter/generator?
are you using OEM Parts? If not, that's a part of the problem. Once you get it back running, check the voltage at the battery, that will tell the whole story.

Re: Just toasted my 3rd starter/generator?
I agree with Golf Cart Guy. The aftermarket starter generators are typically junk. I only use OEM ones and I've never had that issue unless the voltage regulator had failed and was overcharging.

Took mine to a rebuilder and had it overhauled once (cooked by a faulty regulator) 3 years ago. no problems since. cheaper than buying one. stay away from those fleebay cheapos. have not heard one good thing about them.

I burned thru 2 aftermarket S/G's within in a year. Found a good deal on an OEM S/G and haven't had any problems since. A fualty regulator is what caused the initial problem.
