2013 ezgo rxv weak spark

drewzx3 · 09-22-2021, 08:35 PM

I have a rxv that quit running on me and trying to get it back running. It's getting fuel and found that the spark was weak. I changed the Coil and that did not fix it. What else could be the problem?

Keep in mind that us older folks remember a points ignition to have a big yellow spark.
Now with the CDI or solid state ignitions the spark is a smaller blueish spark that might give the impression of being weak.
Is the spark consistent? If consistent, I would still look more toward fuel related issues.
What was going on when it stopped? stop like a switch turned off or started missing and slowing down? restarted later or never restarted?

The spark will goes away completely after a couple of seconds of turning over. When it quit running at first it would only run with the pedal slightly pressed then it quit turning over at all. Well I changed the switch under the pedal and it started back turning over but would not start and that's when I started chasing the spark issue.

Did some more testing and it's not firing with the wire plugged into the Coil but will fire with it unplugged. Where is that coming from?
