    Great video, but when bench testing I suggest connecting the the positive lead (jumper cable) first, and then touching the negative lead to the metal housing of the starter-generator. Otherwise you risk damaging the threads and nut at that terminal cauaused by the electrical arcing that occurs when you momentarily touch the positive lead to the terminal.

    How many volts should I be getting from my generator? My cart died on me last time so I charged the battery and it shows around 12.8 volts. When I start the cart and run it at higher rpms it shows a bit over 15 volts. Does that mean the generator is good?

    • @helpinguonline

      Your generator should put out around 15 volts... so it sounds like you are good

      Make sure you you are hooking up the positive to the positive and the negative to the negative when you bench test it. Make sure you have a good strong battery. And if not those two things check your armature

    So I drove my golf cart and it didn’t charge the battery while in use, so when I stopped it wouldn’t turn back over. Could this be the issue on why it’s not charging the battery? I have gas Yamaha G2.

    • @helpinguonline
      @helpinguonline  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      if your battery is not charging I would start by looking at your generator and wiring since they are the source of your battery charging. start simple by looking for frayed wires, bad connections, corrosion, etc

    • @helpinguonline
      @helpinguonline  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you have a volt meter you could check and see if you are getting 12 volts to the starter. If you are and your starter is grounded properly then most likely your starter/generator is the problem.
      Also, as you saw me do in the video... if you tap on your starter (where the brushes are) and it turns over you most likely need to do as I showed in this video.
      Let us know how it turns out and what you find.

    • @helpinguonline
      @helpinguonline  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can test your generator voltage output easily with a cheap multi meter. that will tell you if your generator is the problem or your voltage regulator or possibly you have a frayed wire or disconnected or poor wire connection.
      There are videos online that will show you how to run the tests.
      Just type in something like:
      How do I test the voltage output on a generator starter for a golf cart.
      Let us know what you find out.
