Installed this starter generator on my 2005 Yamaha G22, and it fired right up. Charging system now works flawlessly. Great quality and fits like OEM. Quick delivery too!

Solid replacement for my G16 golf cart. Only issue I had was FedEx misplacing the original delivery, but Prime Golf Parts sent a new one out within 24 hours—great service!
Ron H. –
Best price I found online for a Yamaha G29 starter generator. Bolted right up, and it’s been running great for over a month now. Definitely recommend.
Jake D. –
Anyone else have issues with their OEM starter failing in colder weather? This one spins strong even on cool mornings. Fit my 2008 Drive2 perfectly.
Kevin B. –
Great 12V 20A generator replacement for Yamaha G22 carts. One wire was a bit short, but easy fix. Performs just like the original.
Alan S. –
This starter generator solved my charging issues on a 1998 Yamaha 4-cycle. Quick install, quality part, and fast shipping.
Barry W. –
Plug-and-play installation on my G29. Seems better than OEM. The 12V 20A output keeps the battery topped off even after long rounds.
Sarah L. –
Part works fine now, but shipping took 9 days. Not sure if it was UPS or just a delay in processing. Either way, part fits and runs okay.
Dennis H. –
Starter went out on my G16 and this fixed it instantly. Spins fast, engages cleanly. Highly recommend this Yamaha G-series starter generator.
Greg F. –
Does this work on EFI Yamaha carts or just carbureted models? Mine’s a 2017 Drive2 gas cart. Wondering if it’s compatible before buying another for my other cart.
Alex Z. –
Super easy to install. Took less than 30 minutes on my 2002 G22. Everything lined up. Golf cart charging system back to full power.
Tom H. –
What’s the difference between this and the OEM Hitachi unit? Looks identical, but this one is half the price and works just as good!
Rick D. –
Had to modify one of the mounting holes to fit my older G16. Not exactly plug-and-play in my case. Once installed, performance was fine.
Nate W. –
Perfect match for my G29. Output is steady, even under load. The 12V 20A capacity is just right for my cart’s accessories.
Carl J. –
Got this for my golf course fleet—so far, we’ve replaced 6 starter generators with this model. No complaints from the techs or golfers.
Leo P. –
Looks OEM, works OEM, priced way better. Very happy with the purchase. Drive2 4-cycle cart now starts every time without hesitation.
George F. –
Part arrived damaged—likely shipping issue. Prime Golf Parts refunded and replaced quickly, but wish packaging was more secure.
Chris L. –
Replaced starter/gen on my ’96 Yamaha G16. Can’t believe how smooth it runs now. Great replacement part and shipped fast.
Frank M. –
Had some doubts ordering aftermarket, but this thing is solid. Perfect fit and output voltage is consistent. Golf cart starter-generator combo is working great.
Eric S. –
Used this for a 2007 G22 rebuild. Excellent power and starts every time. Definitely a dependable Yamaha golf cart part.
Jason H. –
Is there a core charge for these starter-generators? Thinking of ordering more for my repair shop, but need to factor in return credits.
Andy G. –
Fit perfectly on a 2016 Yamaha Drive gas cart. All wiring matched up. No more charging issues. One of the best-priced starter generators online.
Todd F. –
Got it next day with express shipping. Installed in under an hour. Now the cart starts instantly and the battery stays charged.
Sean B. –
High output, no whining noise, and doesn’t overheat. Using it on a 2003 Yamaha G22. It’s a legit upgrade from the factory unit.
Ashley T. –
Easy order process. Part came on time and well packaged. Seems to be working well on my G16 gas cart. Will update if anything changes.
