1985 EZ GO 2 cycle

AZGhost

Im in the process of doing a top end rebuild. While getting the buggy home, and diagnosing the no-start issue, I found the coil to be arcing at the cable. My question is this. Will any older aftermarket coil with a + and - work or am I stuck with paying 85+ for the factory one? I don't see why it wouldn't but id like to ask the pro's first before I just start making trips to the auto parts store.
Thanks Guys,

Chris

I used a $15 coil from amazon.

Hey thanks a lot cart around!

My plan was to use this, and cut the two wires off the original, crimp some eyelets and put it back together.

measure the two small terminals on coil, they need to be 3.5 ohms or more, If not .they could overheat ignitor. Besides that coil should work, be sure and get polarity correct.

A friend had an EZGO Marathon (forget the year, but early 80's late 70's I think). Anyway his ignitor went bad and a replacement was a lot of money so we used an older GM HEI module. Worked like a champ, and then you could got with a NASTY coil if you wanted! Who knows, I have an epoxied coil, digital CDI box, and some HEI stuff that may make it onto my cart next year. This year I just want it to run and be reliable!
