I have a 86 2 stroke ez go that only fires when you let off the throttle. Eratic spark only when you let off the throttle pedal. It doesn't fire while you are cranking , only when you let up. Anyone out there that can help?
Thanks!

did ya check and see if the plug is always firing as you move the pedal? did you try a new plug, some plugs fire but won't once in the engine.

No it doesn't fire all the time only when you move the pedal.
Tried a new plug same thing, fired randomly.

a coil will act that way sometimes, would be the cheapest thing to try. there is no real test for a coil besides trying a known good one

Nubs, I found the problem. It was an almost severed ignitor wire. Soldered it together put some silicone on it and I am riding again!


Thank You and the forum!
