onebadbuggie · 01-30-2016, 09:51 AM

ok guys ill make it short and to the point.... i recently installed a 4" lift and 22" tires to my 89 EZGO GAS Marathon golf cart, it was running perfect before i installed the kit,now it doesnt have any spark what so ever, im just learning these things but have basic knowledge of gas engines, any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to BGW!
Check the 2-pin connector that goes into the ignitor toward the right rear of the cart. Red and blue wires.

ok i will give that a shot thanks!!

Please let us know if that is the problem. Sometimes they get partially disconnected. Sometimes they get corroded.
It is the pair of red and blue wires that come out of the lower part of the motor and go to the ignitor.

will do. ya im not sure but all i did was jack the cart up and put stands under it to install lift and when i was done i lowered it down to go test drive and it would crank but not start, pulled plug and no spark at all....ill let you guys know though thanks again.

Usually when it happens, there is only one spark when you let off the gas pedal.

ok it was a wire pulled off the coil that i couldnt see till i pulled the coil off. anywho its fixed and running. btw way first pic is of the 7" top chop and the second is of it with the lift and 22" tires. thanks again for the help.

Glad you got it running.
Why did you go with the top lowered so much?

onebadbuggie · 01-30-2016, 01:05 PM

well we take it with us camping, i did all the figuring and with the lift and tires it wouldnt have cleared the rear cargo door on our toy hauler camper so i cut the top down the accomidate. lol. worked out great.
