Gas Yamaha G29 cart was running fine when it went to storage in April 2020 and after sitting for 6 months it won't start up.
I don't have a wiring diagram but have done some basic trouble shooting and now am looking for ideas-
Battery is a 2019 which was removed and stored indoors in AC and has a 1 day old full charge of 12.9V
Because the battery was removed and reinstalled it was one of the few "changes" so I checked and rechecked and cleaned both battery terminal connections and cleaned and reinserted the negative side connection and pigtail (where does that pigtail go to? -I traced as far as I could and didn't determine)
Key on, pedal down no click at starter solenoid.
Checked all fuses I could locate- all good.
12 V Voltage is present at input of solenoid but not output.
Jumped from input to output of solenoid and cart fired up so I suspected solenoid and removed it and bench tested it - coil resistance about 14 ohms- it clicks and terminal close (continuity between in and out) with 12 volts +/-applied to control side- so solenoid tested good? re-installed
Still 12V in and nothing out.
Found control voltages on both sides of solenoid at 12V with key on and pedal down.
Removed and cleaned connector up stream- no change.
Removed and cleaned connector at relay - no change.
Removed and cleaned connector at regulator - no change
Opened floor and checked function of accelerator switch (toggled open closed with pedal) cleaned connector and reinstalled.
Found return spring off drive shaft post on brake switch- re connected and checked switch function - (it toggled open closed with pedal)
There appears to be a relay cobbled into this switch wiring - (I found more and varying types of connectors then normal and relay was laying there - not mounted?) but connections seemed to be fine- what is this relays function? (any info is more than I have)
As of now my best guess is the engine stop relay or the regulator as they are both common to solenoid connection? Ideas for how to verify good or bad? Or possibly a fault in the chassis ground? (where is/are the tie points?- add a jumper? )
I thought about jumping negative side of starter solenoid with line to the negative side of the battery?
Thanks for any input!
