Default Re: New G1 Ignition Coil Ground question

Back from my world travels…
Ok, let’s figure this one out. When you say it keeps running, how did it start running? Ie: You approach the cart, turn the key to FWD, press the pedal, and it starts, as it should? But when you release the pedal it keeps spinning?
Now, if this is the case, when you release the pedal, the two sets of contacts in the pedal switch each move, One set opens to remove the 12v from the ignition switch. The other set closes to apply a ground to the B/W wire, killing the spark.
If, when you release the pedal, the motor is spinning, I would assume it is the starter generator spinning and not the engine running, because it has no gas via the gas pedal linkage supplying gas to the carb, and the B/W got grounded to kill spark. Remember the cart leaving when you finally got spark…lol? Then again, you said your throttle cables are afu , so maybe you are also getting gas?
At any rate, if it’s spinning the Starter/generator (S/G) is probably getting voltage to run, coming through the solenoids.
Let’s stop here so you can tell me if my understanding of the issue is correct.
