93 cc prob's

b3race · 05-06-2010, 08:46 AM

OK ,Hi guys I just purchased a 1993 gas club car w/ the fe290,the guy said it only needed a battery,so I got that first,before i even paid him. It ran so I paid him. then we started driving it ,but it would only run for 20 or less min at a time,seemed like the float was sticking,so took apart the carb and cleaned it witch wasn't bad looking at all. same prob. next I got a new fuel pump cause it didn't seem like it was pumping right.same prob.then we noticed we didn't have spark all the time. purchased a innighter, same prob,read alittle on this sight and learned it could be the rev limiter,went to disconnect ground wire it was already done. so we thought coil hmmmm,so I purchased a coil,spark was no different and after doing all this stuff,it stopped running all together,

seems to have spark but kinda weak,now were leaning towards the magnet on the flywheel not strong enought hmmmmm,has 2 screws holding it on but they only sell the hole thing and it's not cheap,,I really could use some input on this guys,,new guy writing a book here sorry.... but really confused anyhelp woud be great thanks

Check the microswitch in the black box where the accel cable goes......

Lets try to isolate the problem with a little "How it works",
You basically have a motor that when just sitting on the floor with gas will run by itself because the ignition system is self contained (no 12V to fire it)
Put it the cart and they add ways to start it and stop it. (a ground circuit to kill it.)
In the little black plastic box under the seat on the drivers side there are two micro switches that are turned off and on by the gas pedal, the top one controls the run circuit to the solenoid.
The bottom micro, when the gas pedal is released, closes and the circuit grounds the ignition system.
You need to determine if the problem is coming from the motor or the cart by disconnecting the grounding wire from the motor that comes from the micro by way of the wire harness. See what happens when you run it.
This will tell you if you have a problem with the motor or the cart.
Lets do that and go from there.

Wish you would have found us earlier (before carb, pump and lost hair)
Great group of guys on here that can work magic.

thanks scotty and crash,I don't have the cart right here,cause its at my river property,but I will definitly try what your saying asap thank again for the fast response

My 93 cc has the same problem I think. I have compression 120psi, gas and a blue white spark from plug. I have unpluged the lower micro switch my cc fires but still wont start and run. I am at wits end what else can it be???????HELP!!!!

replace the rev limitor and be done with it............................

Not sure how these are put together, but, you mentioned that it looks like people have already been trying stuff and you have replaced a bunch of stuff too. So, start looking at stuff that should be ok unless someone screwed it up, like the gap between the magnet you mentioned and the pickup. If this gap is too wide or too close, you can have weak or no spark. as it heats up, the gap will change a bit and also other components will perform differently when hot. I know it's a long shot, and not easy to check, but, when you run out of other options... I have no idea what it should be set at, but, I would guess some place between .010 & .015, but that is just a wild guess based on other types of magnetic pickups like that. I doubt that the magnet is not strong enough, I have never heard of that happening on any other type of motor, but I am new to CCs.

out of all the C.C,s i have had to work on for no spark or intermittant spark or weak spark not once has it ever been the pickup magnet..........from reading this the only thing not changed was the rev limitor........thats what i,m guessing because of where its mounted and the heat it deals with and i think thats why they pulled the ignitor from the back of the limitor and built it into the coil a lot less heat and failing of the ignitor........i think you have a bad limitor, now if it was a older cart with the exitor coil on the flywheel i would look at that but at this point you already changed the coil/ignitor i would say the limitor......one other poss. i have seen a handful of times is the spark plug wire itself they do go bad and its something you would never think of you can also check it with a volt meter for resistance to see..................
