Starting problem
I have a Yamaha G14a, when I press down on the gas pedal to start it nothing happens. I can't find where this pedal is linked to the starter. I have checked the battery and cables and everything there is ok. Also all the cables connected to the gas pedal seem to also be ok. So my question is, how is the pedal linked to the starter and what could be my problem?
Thanks!! Frank |

Re: Starting problem
That's not much help. I was hoping this format would give me an answer, not reference to a drawing.

Re: Starting problem
Have you tried hitting the starter with a hammer while pressing the pedal. Sounds funny, I know but it is a trick an old mexican guy i work with taught me. I deal with gas rentals and when I have to go pick up a rental that has died I first check the battery and then I try beating on the starter. This has worked on numerous occasions. Dont be scared to hit with some force, little baby taps will not do the trick.

ya this is just what i would do beat your starter all to hell beat it hard so you break the magnets inside then after you do that come to find out it wasn't the starter then you can charge them with 2 parts+labor sounds like a dumb move to me i can see giving it a few taps but beat the heck out of it nope |

Re: Starting problem
I must say, many years ago I had an old Chevy that would ONLY start if I crawled under and smacked the starter. It worked every time...then I bought a Ford!!

Someone likes to take things to the extreme. No one said to beat your starter all to hell. To comment on what santa said about the $150 an hour: The peoples carts that I go service are all rich and buy theese carts to drive from there beach house to the beach and none of them have the first clue about golf carts. I would say that I go to at least 10 calls a week to carts that are not holding a charge very well and when I get there and tell them their batteries are bone dry and have no water they say "the batteries need water". Or they will say "my charger is not working" when the cart has been sitting for 9 months and the batteries are dead because this is their summer house and they havent been there to use it. Theese people will spend $20,000 on a tricked out cart and not know one single thing about it. Thats why my boss gets away with charging $150 an hour. |
