upgraded motor-Ignition only sparks once then nothing
Scenario: On the initial crank there is one spark then nothing as the motor keeps turning over.
Background: I have a 2003 EZGO TXT (Plate says A303) that I bought without a motor. I purchased a Workhorse motor supposedly out of a 2000. Stamping on the motor is (EH352C 1036591) I did not have a coil so the guy I bought the motor off sent a coil from a 295 motor I think. Since the coil does spark, but only once, I thought it may be the igniter so I purchased a new one and installed it. Same thing. On the initial crank there is one spark then nothing as the motor keeps turning over. I checked the ohms on the pulsar and it reads 512 which according to another thread in here is correct. Does anyone know what else to try. Just to keep items straight- coil-not sure what year it is from, even tried a coil from a friend that is known to be good for a 1998 295 motor and it does the same thing, igniter is the original that came with the cart which should be a 2003 which I even bought new, pulsar was on the workhorse motor which should be a 2000. Note that the wiring on the cart that the pulsar plugs into the wires are red and black and the pulsar wiring is a green wire and dark wire....not sure if that would indicate anything or not. |

Re: upgraded motor-Ignition only sparks once then nothing
Reading some other posts it looks like this motor may be a mci motor which I don't think would make it a year 2000. Attached is a pic of the exhaust. The muffler flange bolts directly to the head

Re: upgraded motor-Ignition only sparks once then nothing
Just an update. Checked all grounds. Including Ground to Chassis. Installed new battery terminals. While cranking the motor over I am getting .5 bolts from the pulsar. Still no luck in getting any spark after the initial crank

Re: upgraded motor-Ignition only sparks once then nothing
I believe that the electronics from MCI, and pre MCI are not interchangeable.

Re: upgraded motor-Ignition only sparks once then nothing
That is definitely an MCI motor. Did you modify the exhaust to work? You'll need the pickup, igniter, and coil from an MCI, but even then I'm not 100%.

Generally with one spark and then nothing it's ignitor

Re: upgraded motor-Ignition only sparks once then nothing
We had a customer long ago try putting a rebuilt MCI in a non-MCI car, and simply spliced the wires to 'make it work' (connection to ignition coil) and it ran like it was completely out of time. Ended up having to get a wiring harness/parts conversion to make it work properly.
**really hate it when folks think they know better than us and try fixing problems themselves and end up costing them far more $$$ and us far more headaches** |
