Im saying this now because this week was able to save 2 more people from being sold a starter they dont need.
So, if you take your golf car in for service and you get told that you need a new starter, chances are good you dont. Youll be told the brushes are between 60 to 80 percent worn. Get a second opinion. Your 2020 cart does not need new brushes, as a matter of fact we are seeing now 2013 and Below year carts coming up for brushes.
Ill say this also, if your being told the repair on your golf car is going to be over 500 bucks, get a second opinion. A simple phone call maybe able to say you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.
Take the info as you wish.

Thanks for starting this informative thread. Just pulled the starter from our 2014 Yamaha EFI with 1,045 hours on it. Disassembled it and gave it a thorough inspection. The starter was very clean except for some metallic dust (blew it clean with the air compressor) and the bearings were all good. The brushes were worn about 70% of the way to the wear indicator line. I just ordered 4 replacement brushes for $6 each and will rebuild the starter and reinstall it when the new brushes arrive. It was a welcomed project on a rainy day : )
