    I don’t know if it’s just my coil, but if I check resistance across my secondary I’m getting 16.48 kohms. I found my issue was a ground to the ignitor and it’s running now.
    To see if you have a bad ground to the ignitor check for voltage across the primary contacts, if that’s zero you should have voltage from either of them back to ground.. If that’s the case you have a bad ground to the ignitor.

    • @BlakesGarage1
      @BlakesGarage1  9 месяцев назад

      I'm not sure but I know that most coils from various brands unthread as long as the coil is visually the same meaning a plastic base where the wire is attached and a visual separation around the edge of the wire. Sorry, hard to put into words

      @@BlakesGarage1 I can't even determine the year of this ezgo. I'm thinking 93 or older. At first I thought it was a Kawasaki engine but now idk. Maybe Robbins. How do you tell? Coil has pins in same dwell. They cut the connector off and have pins. Does it matter what goes where? What voltage goes on the red wire to the coil?
      This thing is a mess. Nothing seems like it should. I had spark at one point and it was running then it died and I lost spark.

    Hello, having a problem with no spark on my 1999 EZGO 1200. New pickup coil, ignitor and solenoid. Three new ignition coils. New plugs also. All the ignition coils have improper ohm readings on the primary and secondary sides. Book says 3.7 to 5.2 primary and 10.0 to 17.0 secondary. New coils have 2.8 primary and 8.6 secondary. (Is this ok are the new coils made differently, I bought them from EZGO.) While cranking I get battery voltage at red wire on coil and a little less than batt. voltage on white wire. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

      Rough guess would be a rusty pickup coil at the flywheel. I believe its called a pulser coil. Before throwing more parts into it I would also check grounds. When your checking for power while cranking, make sure you're using battery ground. If you have power, move to engine ground, if you lose power you have a ground problem.

Wait another 5 min on charger it will run again 3 to 5 seconds and die. Will only run when on charger and only for a few seconds. The rest of the time it just cranks and cranks and cranks. Turns over great the battery charger makes no difference on the cranking speed of the starter. It will just only run when on charger. Any ideas?

Common issue that I see is and that I have experienced is it’s running and then stops for no reason. Pushing the pedal and nothing, zero, nada, nothing happens. Put it in reverse and it starts and goes. Put it in Forward and off we go. For a little while. Then it happens again. For a cart that probably does not have 25 hours run time total, it’s just not dependable. I’ve named it Garage Queen. It loves being in the shop. 🤦‍♂️

    You can lock it in neutral easily by pulling the metal lever free from it's slot on most ezgo

    Thanks for this video, I like how you walk us through testing the resistance and what the acceptable range is.
    Also testing the voltage to the coil.
    I got a 95 E-Z-Go yesterday for $200 bucks that is not getting spark.
    Previous owner converted to a GM HEI coil and a different pickup , so I have to swim through someone else's muddy waters lol
    Can you give me any tips on trouble shooting this HEI conversion?

    If I put power to the coil it will start other than that it just cranks

      Part two should have the diagrams you need but if memory serves, the coil could have keyed 12v
