Wiring help on EZ-GO conversion

WizBears

Ok, I finally got my 18hp Duromax engine installed in my 2002 Ez-Go TXT(wouldn't recommend doing that again). Now I get the joy of completely rewiring the cart. I have went through the diagram on this site, but I can't figure out if I need the ignitor? Actually, I'm not real sure what the ignitor is for. Where does the wire from the magneto connect? I have built many go carts in my youth, but we used the wire off the magneto to kill the engine.

Where does the throttle/ start switch connect. When I look at the wiring diagrams I can't seem to find that switch and since this cart came stripped I am not quite sure how to wire that switch in.

Any help you guys can offer is greatly appreciated.

the igniter is a little square box that had two wires going to the old engines pick up sensor and a wire or two going the old engines coil. you can remove that part now. If you are setting up this cart for pedal start install a relay were the igniter was. use the positive to energize this relay. use the normally closed contacts of the relay to ground engine when you want it to stop.

Tiny...I guess I should have mentioned that I have the wiring for the cart, just not installed. Everything is there, but my Duromax engine doesn't have a diagram. My problem is there are two wires coming out of the magneto(not including spark wire). One if for the oil sensor, I plan on connecting this wire to the kill switch since I check the oil daily. The other only wire coming out is a brown wire that goes to the start switch. I put a meter on this wire with the engine running and it would range between 11 and 23 volts AC. The ignition switch that came with the engine has a plug for this wire, but all the wires coming off the switch are white(not helpful at all since there isn't a diagram).

The way I understand the diagram on this site, the positive runs from the battery to the key switch to the throttle switch to the solenoid. This provides power to the starter generator and the rest of the system once all switches are closed. Where does the AC wire from the magneto go or do I just dead end this wire? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, since this whole wiring nightmare is keeping me from finishing this cart and moving on to other projects. Thanks again for the help and sorry for the lengthy post. :)
