I have two 92 Club Car golf carts that have lost ignition spark. I traced the problem down to the ignitor and or the coil. ( limiters have been disconnected). I ordered two 97 coils with ignitors in them and installed one tonight. It had good spark before I installed the engine back in the cart, and also would run on carb clean. Just hooked up the fuel line after flushing the fuel tank and tried to start. ( no spark again) I have the limiter and old ignitor removed from the engine. I disconnected the wire to the micro switch at the engine and no spark. I pulled the engine assembly again and removed the wirte from the terminal on the coil. ( no spark)
I installed the second coil assembly without hooking up the wire to the ignitor terminal on the coil and It sparks good and will run the engine.
Failed/bad new part??? I purchased this coil from buggies unlimited, #5133. The coil will only spark when install with the igniton cable facing up. ( it has very weak spark when installed with the cable facing down.)
I belive i have it installed correctly with .011 air gap, and the cable facing up. This is the first time i have upgraded the ignition coil to this style, and I have to get these carts running soon for the small golf course near me.
My question is Did I miss anything on the installation of the 97 ignition coil on this older cart??
Has anyone had this style of ignition coil fail soon after installation?? ( it is an aftermarket coil/ not OEM) ???
I am hesitant to reinstal engine untill I am sure this is installed and will work correctly. I am going to call buggies unlimited to see if they will warranty the first coil assembly.
Thanks in advance!! Any information would be appreciated.
