Re: adding an alternator to a clone
I put a gm 1 wire alternator on on g9 with a duromax 18hp electric start. But my engine will not run if the positive wire is connected to the alternator to the battery. It some how grounds out the engine coil. If I disconnect the positive wire on the alternator it runs fine soon as I connect it arcs bad and trys to stall. I can't figure it out for bv the life of me.

Re: adding an alternator to a clone
Can anyone help with belt length. I put in the predator 420cc and was wondering what belt length to use for main drive belt? I have already tried 37 1/4" that was too short I have a replacement which is 38 1/2" OD coming in the next couple of days but i am afraid that may be too short as well. Just wondering what anyone else on here uses as I see several setups are just like mine. Any help is greatly appreciated. Same with generator belt if you have that as well. TIA!

Thank you for responding. I will post some pictures in just the next day or two as I am trying to put a few things back together. I have made custom brackets for my alternator. I have put in a 420cc Predator motor into a 1994 electric Club Car DS frame and body. I replaced the rear end with a rear from a Gas Club Car Carryall with the motor carriage (very key piece to this puzzle). I put on a Comet 780 Series Clutch with the vegas carts CNC'd flywheel pulley. I got a Valeo Carrier Transicold 70A 12V alternator with built in voltage regular (question on that possibly later). 6 In lift kit, heavy duty rear leaf springs and shocks, pretty much entirely new front end shock, steering box all the tie rods and rack and pinion. I pretty much started from scratch with a really nice frame lol. I thank everyone in their help as this blog is amazing. I will post some pics shortly and glad welcome feedback. Thanks again. |

IMG_4550.jpg Rear End.jpg Rear with motor chas.jpg Wheels on.jpg Before_After Lift.jpg Here are the first few photos I will post right below this but these are the photos beginning with the cart (94 CC DS) stripped down to the frame. This cart had been in a hurricane and completely water logged. I was able to get the rear end out of a gas CC Carryall and it had the motor chassis plate already attached which made life 10x easier. I put a 6" lift kit on it and some nice wheels and tires I had from a previous cart. Next post will have the rest as I could only upload 5 photos with this post. |

Re: adding an alternator to a clone
Alt Bracket.jpg
Alternator on Brackets.jpg Aerial View.jpg Top view.jpg Back of Alternator.jpg Here are some of the rest of the progress where I am currently at. I have 3 prong alternator on perfectly with a belt that ended up measuring about 37.5". I have the rear drive belt on currently partially as i want to fire motor up and make sure everything mechanically is working before putting the belts on completely. The drive belt ended up being right around 41". As you can see some of the brackets I fabricated and seem to work perfectly for what I needed. I have throttle cable running through the motor where gas tank mount was and was able to use an E clip and it stays in nicely. I need stronger spring still for it to let off of throttle. I currently am trying to figure out which wire I need to hook warning lamp up to on the predator 420 electric start mechanism. I have the small warning light lamp but want to make sure it is hooked up in the correct circuit if anyone on here knows. I am almost to a point where I can atleast fire it up and try it out then I can start adding some of the fun little additions I have in store. Always love the feedback and am happy to tell anyone what i have done so far. This forum has been a wealth of knowledge so thank you to those who do take the time to write a response know it is greatly appreciated. Thanks again. Hope some may have info on alternator hook up.!!
