92 Club Car Starting

[mpast30]

I have a 92 Club Car, it was running great today and then it would not go forward or back. No noise from engine either. I tapped the solenoid and I can get a click from it but the cart won't go, sometimes it will hum for a bit but then stop. I am planning on getting a new solenoid tom. but want to get your input on the fact that I am doing the right thing. Thanks for your help.

Check to see if the brushes in your starter/gen are bad. Turn the clutch
about a half turn by hand and see if it starts. Also, make sure your
battery is OK..

Thanks for your help. I was told today not to get the solenoid as it did not sound like that might be the problem. Like you said, I was told to check the battery, which I have on charge now but looking at it I think I will get a new one this afternoon anyway. Excuse my ignorance but where will I locate the "brushes" and how will I know if they are bad.

Thanks again

Starter/Gen brushes are under the little black rubber plugs on one end
of the starter. There is a spring that holds each one down to the
armature. When these wear too much, one won't make contact, therefore
rotate your clutch by hand a half turn and most of the time it will start.
Remember this if you are ever out on the back side of nowhere , and the
starter won't turn. That humming of the solenoid is crying "Battery" to me.

thanks for the advice. I got the new battery and so far, so good. I may try to attempt to check the brushes but as they say don't try and fix something that is not broken. Thanks again

Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to start a 1992 gas Club Car. I just got it and don't have a clue.
