Default Re: G16 stalls and backfires

To me, it sounds like a failing TCI (ignition coil). You will have to check for spark. Easiest way is to go to the auto parts store and get a inline spark tester, they aren't much money. One end hooks to the spark plug, other to coil wire. It will flash orange when spark is working. You would then drive it till it cuts out, and look to see if it still flashes regularly.

That's what I was thinking too

Have you found a solution to the backfiring and stalling out. I have 2 carts with same problem. One is a g22a and a g16a. I just replaced coil, new carb, 130 psi, 8% leakdown. Disconnected the wires to coil. Checked flywheel key. Any other suggestions would be great.

I did not but I have not replaced the TCI either. I know, I know, too many irons in the fire so I haven't gotten around to it. We did a full tune up and it seemed to run ok for a little while and started doing it again so I am going to get a TCI for it and change it and will let you know.

Do the inline spark test first. OEM TCI, for best results.

Did you resolve this issue? Have a G22A with the same symptoms. Drives for 3-4 min and then acts likes it's getting no gas.

Cleaned air filter
Getting spark
Has fuel
Fuel lines seem clean

I just ordered a fuel pump. Stopping at parts store tomorrow for fuel filter and fuel lines.
