Any idea why my cart eats hei modules?
Can anyone help me figure out why my cart keeps burning up hei modules? I have destroyed like 6 of them now in the process of getting my cart road worthy I have probably only put 2 miles total on it. Same thing keeps happening they run for a bit then just stop. Have it mounted on an old cpu heat sink with the compound that comes in the box. Have a wire going from ground on the module to the ground strap. Have replaced the coil.

Re: Any idea why my cart eats hei modules?
Here are the 2 wiring schematics I have. Do not have the key on - not running 3-4 minutes as this will burn the unit out.

Don't leave the key on if it isn't running. It could burn up the module.

Re: Any idea why my cart eats hei modules?
So I went to a different OReilly and got a guy to test a module I thought was bad. His test said good. What has been happening is I put a new module in and typically it will run okay for a bit maybe a few minutes maybe a few days but I am sure I have never gotten an hour or so of run time on one. It will sometimes then run for a bit with a miss then will stop running. With my spark checker I will get one or two sparks when I press the pedal then usually a couple when I let off the pedal. I just replaced the original voltage regulator thinking maybe it intermittently not working right however I don't have the module connected to it but instead to the ground strap.

Re: Any idea why my cart eats hei modules?
I see that this is on your 89 3pg 2 stroke.
Leaving the key on will not hurt a thing. There are 2 more switches hooked in series with the key switch. All three have to make contact to power everything. |

Re: Any idea why my cart eats hei modules?
You most likely have a bad wire or a loose or corroded connection.
It will run til bad wire/connection heats up causing too much resistance. At that point you lose voltage. Look hard at wires and connections. There's not many wires, I usually rewire, it's easier than trying to trace the problem most of the time. |

Re: Any idea why my cart eats hei modules?
Sorry to add more color this is an 87 with the 2pg.i bought the cart as non running with little wiring in place. I made new wires for everything except for the heavy gauge wires which did come with the cart) except the battery wires. I tried another new module this morning hooked it up put tested it with the inline spark checker and it lit up. Hooked up to the spark plug and nothing. Hooked back up to the spark checker again and nothing now.

Re: Any idea why my cart eats hei modules?
I have reviewed your original thread.
I have a few thoughts on this. You did a complete rebuild. That's good. The first thing to determine is if it is really burning up modules. The parts store seems to think it isn't. If it isn't burning up modules, I would check to see if the lower diaphragm in the fuel pump is ripped. That would foul out the plug, and make you think it has an ignition problem. What plug are you using? What is the gap? I like .030" If it really is burning up modules, it could be caused by excessive heat build up through high resistance on your connections. The other cause is that it could be wired wrong. Your 87 2pg, and the 89 3pg use the same wiring diagram, so let's review how it's wired. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/attac...n-retrofit.jpg Terminal C connects to the negative side of the coil. Terminal B connects to the positive side of the solenoid. (small terminal) A mounting screw runs a wire to ground. The diagram shows it going to the voltage regulator, but it can connect to any ground. W, and G go to the red, and blue pulsar wires. They are not absolute. Orientation is determined on every cart by which way runs better. Double check that wiring, and let us know what you find. |

Re: Any idea why my cart eats hei modules?
So I have two modules 1 brand new but untested from advance auto that I tried earlier this morning no spark and one from O'Reilly that was tested good but had stopped working on the cart. I just put the O'Reilly back on and it ran good just drove the cart maybe a mile. Spark plug nkg bp4hs gapped at . 4 seems clean. Checked against your wiring instructions every thing seemed correct. Took the fuel pump apart when I rebuilt the engine. The diaphragms looked good and I have checked the pump before ran the cart with the fuel line from the pump to the carb into a Mason jar got about half a pint or so in 30 seconds. Might replace when I have a few extra dollars laying around. At this point we will see how long it runs for.
