Default Re: 2007 Ezgo Starting Problem (Gas)

I have the same problem with my 2008 RXV. EZGO sent me a smaller pulley for the starter/generator. They seem to think that the starter, which is the same one used on older, smaller engines, did not have enough torque to rotate the engine when it is hot and stops at TDC. The new pulley made the problem less frequent, but it still happens occasionally. I also replaced the battery cables with heavier ones. Again this helped, but so far nothing has permanently cured the problem. I can always get it going again by moving the shift lever to neutral, push the cart with my foot and then shift it into forward while it's moving. This causes the engine crankshaft to move off Top Dead Center. It will then start ok.

Any advice on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.
