Go Kart 150 Charging System Testing

In this video, I will show the basic testing / troubleshooting for the charging system on a 150 cc go-kart. I will start by showing the basic components and wiring. I will test the system with a functioning machine and also the parts testing itself. You should be careful as electricity can be really dangerous. You should take all precautions needed and take your time. If you are not sure, take a break and make sure you understand before you do your testing. Ask questions in the comment section if needed. You can also use the contact form on our website at gokart.maximum.... Subscribe, as more videos will be uploaded. Give us some feedback on topics you would like to see covered.
This is suitable for almost all 150cc go kart including:
Ace Maxxam 150
Carter Talon 150
Hammerhead 150
Trailmaster 150
And any go kart that come with a GY6 150

Would u know anything about a 2005 crossfire 150cc like a complete set of the wireing harness

[@maximumparts]

We don't carry any wiring harness. They are all slightly different and we would need to carry many of them. Instead we did a video to teach people the basic wiring harness, kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoaUi6iieJdlkMU

Where is the voltage regulator located on this engine?

[@nathan5270]

I need that blower for my carb its running wide open

[@stevenieto6391]

my exsiter coil on stator isnt connected to anythig does it need to be there can i remove it

[@isiahrichardson416]

Yes i have a hammerhead 150cc gocart and its not getting no spark could u shed some light on my situation

[@maximumparts]

This is another video I need to do. Unfortunately I didn't have time yet.

[@butterbean4195]

hey my 2021 tiking 200cc 4 seater has a 11 pole stator and when running testing at the battery its about 15 +- volts is that to much? im going to be running a stereo system on my kart and plan on putting a much larger AH battery so more charging is ok with me jsut dont want to over do it.. yall think 15+- charging colts to battery on?

[@maximumparts]

You should have 14.7 volts. It might be cause by the meter and not the machine. Putting a bigger battery won't help. You have to match the power consumption with the charging system and not the battery. If the charging system do not supply more than what you need, the battery will die slowly. This is why putting a bigger battery won't help, it will eventually drain the battery.

[@butterbean4195]

agreed but i need more amps than a electric kids car. i put a small optima battery with plenty of cca. and will power my 2 way radio and stereo and leds easily now plus while we are camping/karting ill have a small solar panel to trickle charge the kart batt just like i do with my radio eqt in the field..ill have a video soon on how i did it.@@maximumparts

[@butterbean4195]

ok rechecked it after replacing stator and gapping it to .015 and its dead on 14.7/8ish.. thanks@@maximumparts

[@joses.p2207]

hello my go kart does not turn on. new carburetor .. good spark plug. but the solenoid carburettor has no power. what should i change? spark plug has power thanks.

[@maximumparts]

You need 3 things to start engine, air, fuel and spark. You have the spark figured out. Next, I would try to start it without the air box connected to the carburetor. If that don't work, spray fuel in the carburetor and try again. If it start, it mean you have a fuel problem. Can be air bubble in the line, plug fuel filter.

[@joses.p2207]

ok perfect the one I have has no power in the solenoid of the carburetor.

[@maximumparts]

If you mean the black thing with 2 wires attach to the carburetor, it's a enricher, it give you more fuel when you start your machine. As the machine warm up, it close the entry of fuel. Your machine should still start without this piece working. It will become a problem when the machine is running and warm up, your machine will run rich and stall when you press the throttle pedal. In this video, I show the basic wiring, it also include the wiring of the enricher, kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoaUi6iieJdlkMU

[@joses.p2207]

@@maximumparts ok. Trank you. 👍

[@austinclementz891]

My stator read 33 volts

[@maximumparts]

The stator voltage will go up and down depend on the demand and also the rpm of the engine. 33 volts is good.

[@ramrebelmibrian4050]

2 part question. 1st part is what do you recommend the maximum amount of amperage for an led light to use? 2nd, if there is no availability for power usage for lighting can i just run an isolator with a 2nd battery without damaging the stater/regulator?

[@maximumparts]

@ramrebelmibrian4050 Good questions. If you want the safe side, check the wattage of the original lights and that will tell you the maximum wattage for the LED. If you need more, you could install a volt reader in the dash, this way you will see the voltage go down if you have too much power usage. If you separate both circuits it would work until the second battery will be dead. You keep the main battery for the machine and basic lighting and the second battery just for the add on lights. If you don't have enough power, you could use an 11 pole stator and regulator, gokart.maximum.parts/3-phase-rectifier-regulator-stator-11-poles-upgrade-kit.html This is if you have a 150 engine. I didn't do all testing yet but in my case, I was thinking about installing a volt reader on my machine and see the result.

Can you help me im having a problem with my mini bike

[@maximumparts]

Sorry, don't know the wiring for the mini bike.

[@BobbyLanford-xp9dd]

Hey

[@BobbyLanford-xp9dd]

I need some help

[@baconking9648]

My tomberlin crossfire 150cc gy6 stator ground melted. Now runs horribly. Any suggestions?

[@maximumparts]

@Bacon king It can be that the stator is bad. Check if you have continuity between the ground and the ac coming out the stator. If you do, the stator is bad. If you install bigger lights or required more power for electrical, wire can melt like you have now. The stator try to push more power but eventually give up like you have now. It can also be the regulator being bad, check that too.
