EZGO Engine Cranks Over But Will Not Start

Not saying this is your problem but it needs to be checked in order to eliminate it from the list

Aww pick up bad? they call that a crank sensor in the automotive world mine went bad in my explorer had no spark.

 

[Easycomeezgo]

Alright I got it gaped and still no spark

 

[richard harris]

Perform a continuity check on the crank sensor (what you just air gapped ). Its possibly defective.

I did a continuity check on it and when it hit the gap in the flywheel it stopped beeping like it’s suppose to do?

 

[Easycomeezgo]

This is the first thing I have ever not been able to make run and the wiring seems so simple

 

[Nubs]

What is the voltage at the igniter when the engine is turning over? what is the voltage on the battery when the starter is engaged?

there is something simple causing it not to fire in my option or the new igniter is bad. There was a guy on here a while back that was pulling his hair out and it ended up being a bad battery, just because it turns over does not mean there is enough voltage left to power the igniter

Ok did you do a resistance check on the coil wire. ( curious if that came with your coil or you had to reuse the old ) also you should see a spark everytime you turn the flywheel open and close sensor.

research whats the correct voltage on the coil. does it have a resister in line, or is it suppose to be 12 volts. check voltage drop when cranking like nubs was asking.

I ordered a new pulsar coil to see if that’s it it didn’t ohm test right

 

[HotRodCarts]

Let us know if the new pulsar coil fixes the problem. Good luck.

 

[richard harris]

Z-zzzzzzz

 

[Easycomeezgo]

Boom replaced the pulsar coil and got spark but all it does it cough sputter and backfire

 

[Easycomeezgo]

This group is awesome and very helpful

 

[richard harris]

Sounds like the carburetor needs a kit and a thorough cleaning

 

[Nubs]

I would start with the basics, Compression test and checking valve clearance. .004 on intakes and .006 on the exhaust
Compression needs to be over 140psi with the carb butterfly held all the way open with your hand.

 

[Easycomeezgo]

Will they backfire thru the carb if they are not getting gas?

 

[richard harris]

Lean misfire
