Thanks for the great video! I just replaced the coil on my 1998 Club Car with a modification to this procedure. I jacked the rear up, removed the left rear wheel and the plastic wheel well insert (2 bolts). It took about 5 minutes to remove these two additional items but it made accessing the muffler clamp and bracket a piece of cake. It also made it possible to see and access the engine shroud bolts and screws easier too. Also, did not remove oil filter or loosen any extra nut/bolts around the valve cover area. The shroud went back into place without a problem.
Thank you. I have a 2002 and the guy that usually does my tune up said it was underneath the engine. Now I know where exactly it is. Looks like a lot of work though.
Hi I have a 1992 club car, I've replaced the ignition coil with the later one ( internal igniter) and disconnected the external igniter the instructions for the new one states for counter clockwise engines the bits inside are Polerized So I installed it as it states with no joy turned the coil round and hey the carts running have I done something that can damage the engine ( my engine is clockwise ) ? Well presented video !!!
As long as the engine is running smoothly and seems to produce the same amount of power as it always did before you had any problems (which would indicate that the spark timing is correct, or very close to correct) I don't see any way that this could do any damage to the engine.
I have a 2014 club car carry all and I was changing out the rev limiter since it went bad. After I changed it I have no spark and noticed when I move the wire that runs to the magneto the engine won’t crank at all. Do you think the kill switch wire could have come loose?
The magnet creates the electrical charge for the spark plug as it passes the core of the coil. If your magnet is missing or damaged you are going to have to purchase a whole new flywheel (it's going to be pricey), or buy a used one on eBay. You can probably find a used one there pretty cheap but expect to pay a lot for shipping. I once bought a used Kohler engine side cover on eBay for only $12 bucks, but I had to pay $30 shipping. That was still a hell of a bargain compared buying new.
@@fixyourself9163 so i just got a new ignition coil and i have the coil and magnet spaced so they dont touch, shoukd they touch? And i had replaced the ignition coil because i had a weak spark and now i have no spark at all and im stuck...
There should be 10 to 12 thousands of an inch clearance between the flywheel and the ignition coil. If you have this clearance set right and you still don't have any spark, I would expect one of three things: 1) Your new ignition coil is faulty. This is not very likely but is possible. You said you had weak spark with your old coil. If you replace your new coil with your old one and you then have some amount of spark, I would suspect your new coil is faulty. 2) There is a problem in your ignition kill switch circuit. This is the most likely problem. To check for this, simply unplug the ignition kill wire (the small black wire that plugs onto the coil) from the coil. If you have spark then, check your ignition switch, micro switch, and wiring in your ignition kill circuit. 3) Your spark plug lead is not correctly connected to your spark plug boot. These replacement coils usually don't come with spark plug boots, so you have to either get a new one or reuse your old one. Make sure you install the boot correctly. I believe that a RUclips channel called Kevin's Golf carts shows how to do this in his video of replacing the ignition coil on a Club Car DS. It just screws on like a nut on a bolt. I didn't know this until I watched his video. I hope that I have been of help to you and thanks for watching and commenting.
@@fixyourself9163 so i have it set not touching the magnet, the magnet is a bit broke but still very strong could that be the problem? I didnt have the black wire on the ignition coil and i still got no spark, and i also didnt put the boot on the plug just to test and see if i was getting spark so im stuck and i have no idea what to do next
@@fixyourself9163 but on the plug when i had the boot off i got ut very very close to the plug and got nothing so juat wanted to clearify that the plug wire was close it wasnt just hanging in the air😂
One of the best detailed videos I have ever seen. If this doesn't work for you you can not be helped LOL
Excellent video ,good filming, proper language describing parts and procedure

Thank you for the thoroughness of your video. I wouldn't have attempted this without your help.

Doing my 2002 right now.
Actually not that hard. You can use a business card to set the gap. Not a lot of tools either
Great video! My question is whether or not the cheaper coil lasted.
thanks for your video,, it was very helpful..
Absolutely great video....Thank you so much for the info!!!! Cheers

Wish I had seen this video before I removed the body etc. Thanks
Thanks sports fan!! Great video
What is the little magnet on the flywheel? I just need the curved little magnet

Great video and info! Putting my 2002 back together now 🏌🏼♂️😎
Very helpful video. Thanks for posting.
