I have a late model ez go 4 stroke gas with top end rebuild. (87) I installed a new starter/generator but it will not crank the rebuilt engine over. I know I have a wiring issue some where but why won't it crank the engine over. the generator turns freely when no resistance is on it but as soon as you ajust the tension on the belt it fails to turn at all.
Thanks for any advice. john

I think a 1987. yes, it did turn over before the rebuild.
I can't determine what wiring diagram I need to follow. The one I was using is not the right one for my cart, it only shows one spark plug. The diagram that shows 2 is for a newer model. My cart was built by Jacobson as a utility cart. Steel diamond plate body w/a bed. Thanks, John

I have 2. The wiring diagram I was using did not show the white wire for the oil sending unit and I thought it was the wrong one. Thanks, John

two plugs means your cart is 91 or newer

most 4 cycle wiring diagrams will not show the white wire.
