BATTERY
The exact location of the battery can vary depending on the model of go-kart that the electric start system is installed on,
however, in all cases, the batteries are mounted in a battery box that is mounted directly to the kart’s frame. The battery
box and mount should be inspected to ensure that they are securely attached, and the wires are clean and fastened prop-
erly to the battery; for safety, the battery is a sealed unit, so the water level does not need to be inspected.
The battery is charged by the lighting coil on the engine. Follow the Honda manual to test and repair the lighting coil and
charge system.
On the electric start option that does not utilize an on-board battery, the starter is energized by a battery jump-box not
mounted to the kart. The battery jump-box is plugged into the Anderson-style plug (blue SB120) mounted to the chassis.
Once the kart has been started, the battery jump-box is unplugged and the engine will remain running until it is turned o
ff
.
NOTE:
The battery jump-box is a standard, automobile-type battery jumper with a blue SB120 plug installed in place of
the standard alligator clips.
SWITCH BOX
The switch box mounted to the kart controls the operation of the starter and the power to the Honda engine. The power
switch on the switch box replaces the Honda on/o
ff
switch on the engine.
