Igniter location on 1995 late model
2 Attachment(s)
So I’m trying to fix a running issue with my 95 and from what i understand the igniter is built into the coil if it is not on the front of the engine on the late model 95’s as per the manual. Is this true? I’m stumped trying to get this thing to stay running. Ive replaced the coil, spark plug and all micro switches. All wiring looks good with no cuts etc. Any ideas what to look for?

Did you buy a coil with a built in igniter?

A good one cost close to $100.

I had similar problem. It was connection of spark plug wire to plug cap.

OEM for a '95 would have a separate ignitor. Stock mounting location was the back side of the plate the RPM limiter mounts to. Should be a very small (less than 1/8") spade terminal, male on the ignitor and female on the wire bundled with the kill wire and all running under the RPM limiter. When they get replaced people mount them wherever it's convenient. If the coil you got was the stock type for 97 or newer it will fit just like the older style, but include the ignitor function in the coil - so no separate ignitor required. in fact the original ignitor would have to be disconnected for the newer style coil to work.

So i had another really close look. There is a black wire going to the coil and one going from the RPM limiter to the back of the cart through the harness? I don’t see a igniter anywhere on this thing. How would this thing run without an igniter though, the coil i replaced was identical (the old one looked original) Sometimes it runs for weeks with. No issue then sometimes it dies whenever it wants. Without an igniter it wouldn’t even spark would it?

Runs for weeks at a time?
Not likely to be spark related. I would think a carb issue, or water in the fuel tank maybe. Without the igniter you'll get a spark but it would be very weak. The igniter lengthens the dwell time of the coil so the voltage on the secondary will build up higher. If it runs at all, then you must have the coil with the built in igniter already installed. The original coil on that cart would look identical, but it would not run at all without the igniter hooked up. SO if it runs, you very likely have the later style coil with the igniter built in. The only way to rule out a spark issue is to run until it quits running, and then check spark while its acting up. Use a spare spark plug, or get an HEI style spark tester set for about 20kv, hook it up immediately when the cart quits running and see if the spark is strong and bright white, or if its weak, yellowish, or inconsistent. You just replaced the coil, so should have a strong consistent white/blue spark. Did you set the air gap of the coil to .012"? A business card between the coil and the flywheel magnet usually works perfect. |
