Starter generator
1.Check the Voltage and Replace the Voltage Regulator
The first thing you have to do when S/G starts heating up is to get a voltmeter and check for the voltage across the S/G. Clamp the voltmeter on the two terminals of S/G and accelerate the cart.
If the voltage recorded is more than the standard voltage for your S/G, you should change the voltage regulator at the earliest. For a standard 12v S/G, a 3-5 % excessive voltage won’t overheat the equipment much in the long run.
2.Tighten the S/G Belt for a Perfect Fit
The pulley or S/G belt has to be a perfect fit. If the belt is loose, it may slip out. If it’s too tight, it may cause S/G to heat at a more rapid pace. A simple check by pushing the pulley with your hands is enough to identify whether it’s fit or not.
3.Replace Damaged Wires
Even a single loose or damaged connection of the S/G is enough to blow it up. it’s advised not to operate your golf cart when the wires connecting the S/G to the other parts are damaged or loose. It not only causes the components to overheat but also poses a constant threat of damaging it.
