Re: 2002 wont crank when hot
Geez this is frustrating
So today I stopped by a golf cart shop while I was in the big city (an hour away) I picked up a White-Rodgers solenoid like the one linked by CP241 above, while there the guy an obvious old mechanic type, suggested checking wire connections, since a loose one could me made looser by the heat of the engine Well I'll be damned, I get home and fine a loose wire blade plug that comes from one of the small lugs on the solenoid Fix it and cart runs great, all over the hood, for over an hour start and stop many times over Then, grandson wants to ride his little tractor on the road. So we go cruising Obviously low speed start and stop for the golf cart to 'keep up' After about 15 minutes of this suddenly, my golf cart doesn't want to go. Different this time than before though This time its actually cranks, but just barely, like the battery is dead Again though, we wait around for it to cool down a bit and it cranks just fine Get home and the voltage on the battery is low Like 8. Something Wait around for it to cool off and the batter voltage is back up to like 11.8 I had just bought a new batter for it about a month ago, and I thought it had given out when I first had a problem, hut i took it in and they tested it and said it was fine |

Re: 2002 wont crank when hot
Ok found this explanation on another thread
Quote:
Cart on jacks in gear, Push pedal it drops to 12.6v and holds there no matter what the engine speed is Located green wire and unhooked Now my question is, do I run the green wire to ground or run a ground to the stud on the starter? |

Re: 2002 wont crank when hot
Ok, so after some thinking, I ran a jumper from the negative on the battery to the stud I had removed the green wire off the starter
Press the pedal and with the engine running the voltage goes up to 16 or so So, bad voltage regulator Now the last dumb question, recommendations for replacement VR? I am scared to buy the cheap ones off amazon, but the expense ones on amazon are not really all that much more |

Re: 2002 wont crank when hot
I'd try and find a used one here or Ebay. I havent been able to find just the VR... only the plate that's $300 with the VR , ignitor, and solenoid
