These damn karts will be the death of me...
I have a Motori Seven TAG motor(s) with electric start and I think I face 2 gremlins: 1. Starter cranks over too slow (if at all) 2. Stator and Coil/CDI combo fires off at too high an rpm (1200 RPM) On a good day I can get the starter to spin the motor at 400-700 rpm. I've tried several starters, rebuilt one of the three starters (new brushes anyway), and direct connected the starter to HUGE, AGM batteries. No change. Presumably this isn't a current issue then... What DID make a change was upping the voltage. I started with 24V (2 - 12V in series) and then went to the track with my Dewalt Li-ion battery from my impact gun strapped to the kart (20V). The starter JUMPS to life with that thing and all is well in the world. But... What on earth is wrong with the 12V starters? I have two motors and 3 starters. Any combo of starter, batter, engine, and any connection method all do the same thing. Can I have some sort of failure in all there starters that wouldn't show up in ohm tests and visual inspections that would require them to need more voltage? |

Like I said they were never worth a damn even brand new and we never relied on them. Compare that crappy little motor with the one in a remote starter which spins your engine 2000 RPM. If you didn't start in few seconds you risked a fowled plug and again you just missed your race.
