Muffler and Electrical questions for TXT in a Flood
Hi All. New member here. Some back story for a few questions. I just had a 2004 TXT given to me that was in a little flood. Not much damage and the cart is in great shape. I took it all apart and cleaned everything up. The engine was turned over after the flood and the oil was drained. When i got it the motor would not turn over. I put Marvel Mystery Oil with some ATF Fluid on top of the cylinders, and after 5 days it broke free. After that i cleaned the top end out with some kero and diesel cleaner.
1. I did not think about the fact that when i rolled the engine over it was sending all that crap into the muffler. When i took it off, you can hear it slosh around in there. I was able to get alot out, but theres still some in there. Should i get a new one or try to repair it somehow. 2. I got a new starter/gen and a battery, but i am getting nothing. I am thinking the solenoid is bad, but not sure if it could be something else. How would you guys work your way to check where the problem is. Thanks in advance! |

Re: Muffler and Electrical questions for TXT in a Flood
Before you resort to drilling a hole in there and draining it that way. Have you tried my favorite tool the leaf blower? I once rolled a skunk out of my garage with one. Well that and Krokus "Long stick goes boom" cranked to 11. Because mine go to 11.

Re: Muffler and Electrical questions for TXT in a Flood
I used my air compressor to get some out. I have a leaf blower, could give that a try too. Ive thought about drilling a small hole in it and then welding it back up. I believe there are only baffles in there; no packing? If so it should not be too big a deal.

Re: Muffler and Electrical questions for TXT in a Flood
Since it was in a flood, every single electrical connection needs to be taken apart, and cleaned.
If it was me, I would even open up the microswitches for cleaning. |

Re: Muffler and Electrical questions for TXT in a Flood
So i have tested the key switch... That works.
I put in a new solenoid and replaced any bad connectors...it meters correct. I put in a new starter and new battery. Nothing. Anyone think it could be the switch in the pedal? I hear that clicking but dk if that means anything. I was thinking i could run a jumper from the key switch to the solenoid to see if that could be it. Not sure what else could stop it from spinning the starter. |

Re: Muffler and Electrical questions for TXT in a Flood
Double check this schematic against your wiring. Sounds like something is not telling the solenoid to close. With the key on, jump the 2 large terminals on the solenoid. If it turns over then the problem is between the key/pedal and the solenoid. That is assuming there is power to the key switch.

from the top under the floor mat their is a plastic box with 4 screws than need to be pulled out and then you have to pry the box open carefully and the microswitch will be in their probably filled with muck

Re: Muffler and Electrical questions for TXT in a Flood
I put in a new pedal microswitch, and still nothing. There is power to the switch, the switch works, i jumped terminals and the starter engages. Not quite sure where else to look. I HATE electrical issues lol.

Re: Muffler and Electrical questions for TXT in a Flood
ok so you jumped the posts on the solenoid basically bypassing all the switches , so what you need to determine is from the switches to the small solenoid posts are you getting 12 v from the switchs to there to activate the solenoid.. if your getting 12v to the small posts on the solenoid and the cart is not turning over you have a bad solenoid or it is not properly grounded to the mount
