This subject comes up so many times here about these robbin engines not firing.
I wish they could add this somewhere on this site and list ! Before you Post ! to make sure all the grounds have been checked.
I also have a box of bad ignitors. Some OEM and some the $30 ones. Number one killer of ignitors is a cart that is overcharging, someone trying to start one using a 220 amp battery charger in the start position or maybe jumping the plug wire to metal.
The black wire with thin white stripe coming from ignitor that plugs into the male spade is just a bad design in my opinion.
Rust and corrosion as you mentioned is what I find also.
I have found many times people install the battery backward. It will fire one time and people start ordering parts.
Another bad design is both cables on battery are black. I always put red tape on the positive because I am old and I make mistakes
