  Christopher MooreAug 2, 2025
  If your Star EV Golf Car motor is sparking, it could be due to several reasons. The motor might be overloaded, or the commutators may not be clean, round, or smooth. Mica or some commutators might be extruding. The brush might not be properly grounded, could be the wrong type, or jammed in the brush holder. The brush holder could also be loose or vibrating, or the polarity and sequence of magnetic poles might be incorrect. To resolve this, reduce the motor load, clean and adjust the commutators, and check the brush fitment and polarity.

  If the brush in your Star EV Golf Cars is wearing out, changing color, or breaking, several factors could be at play. The motor might be vibrating excessively, the clearance between the brush and its holder could be too large, or the clearance between the brush and the commutators may be too big. Additionally, the brush could be made of incorrect materials or be the wrong type. Check for excessive vibration and ensure clearances are within specified limits. If the brush is the wrong type or made of incorrect materials, replace it.
