Default 89 G1 ground

I went to pull off the starter to bench test it because my 89 g1 won’t start. Well after bench testing it, it was good so I put it back on the cart still won’t start. The problem I just found is as I went to tighten the screw to tighten the belt, the channellocks I was using touched the heat shield for the gas tank and the lights came on and it would turn over but all cut off when I took off the channellocks.

Default Re: 89 G1 ground

So I could only find one ground but I went ahead and cleaned it up and that seemed to fix it but now my cart will decide randomly when it wants to turn over. Sometimes it will start first hit in reverse or first hit in forward others I have to switch back and forth between hitting the pedal in forward and in reverse to get it to work. Could this be the pedal? Or would it be more like solenoids

I didn’t check them I bench tested it and it and it worked fine multiple times so I figured it was good enough

i was having a similar issue on my g9 i would turn the primary clutch slightly and it would usually fire right up after that. you could also have corrosion on your other connection points, while i did my brushes i was taking 1 connection at a time and cleaning it up and that helped me alot with other issues i had.

So I think I’ve narrowed it down to a combination of the forward solenoid being bad and the stop go switch being fenicky. I saw a post about taking out the stop go switch out to disassemble and clean. I got it out but realized it didn’t look like I would be able to take it about so I put it back into the cart. Now for the most part the cart will start in reverse with me having to repeatedly mash the pedal on some occasions to get it to crank

The accelerator switch has two sets of contacts. One set is normally open and closes to provide voltage to the ignition switch and relay to get you going. The other set is no ally closed grounding out and killing ignition with the pedal released. A finicky switch will definitely cause headaches..
Lift the floorboard , unplug the switch, and meter it to see if it’s acting up.
If it’s bad, I wrote up a $10 plan to replace it instead of the $50 official replacement switch.

Unfortunately I can’t unplug the switch because the previous owner repaired 3 of the 4 wires with crimp connectors. I could always cut them to test and fix it. I wouldn’t be opposed to removing it all together.

I’m not sure how to steer you to it. I posted it on this site under the title “ Cheap G1 accelerator/ stop switch”. Try doing a search off the homepage. It should show up. If not, let me know?
