Re: Weird issue, cart won’t stay running
Is the fire or fuel the reason its not running ? You will have to decide that for us.
Make sure the linkage on carburetor is opening wide open when you push the pedal with key off. Do you have a good fuel flow when its turning over ? Does this cart have an aftermarket carburetor on it ? I think I read where it would fire before you installed the rebuilt engine in it but I didn't really go back and read all the posts ?? Take three things to make one run Fuel Fire Compression Fuel has to be metered correct Fire has to be nice and bright checking with a spark tester Fuel should flow freely out of line going to carburetor when spinning it over. Make sure the battery is full charged. I never try and crank one on my 220 amp charger for fear of burning up that expensive ignitor. Wish I was closer as I could tell you right away what was wrong. Maybe make a video and upload to youtube putting the link here. You got a good spark tester ? |

Re: Weird issue, cart won’t stay running
The only way for me to know for sure is use a spark tester like shown in picture.
If it is firing this thing will spark. Then if it fires this tester you can move on to what the problem is. I can't help unless I 100% know for sure and the tester I use will 100% tell me if its firing or not. These ignition parts are way too high to be buying to try and eliminate issues. |

Re: Weird issue, cart won’t stay running
Did you test the firing with both spark plugs off with the new tester ? Is so then put one back on a spark plug and check firing with the other one using the tester

Re: Weird issue, cart won’t stay running
I tested both spark plug wires if that’s what you mean? Neither produced a spark in the tester, although a faint blue spark could be seen when the plug was grounded

Re: Weird issue, cart won’t stay running
Not sure what the spark looks likes. Normally if its blue then its firing. What I find when using this spark tester is always leave one spark plug in head with plug wire on it. Use the tester on the other. Upload a video of it to youtube and link it here so we can see what the fire looks like

Re: Weird issue, cart won’t stay running
What Trig is trying to say, is that you need both plug wires connected and both plugs grounded to complete the secondary circuit for the plugs for testing.
Study this diagram and you should see what we mean. with the second plug not grounded, the coil circuit is broken and you wont get fire. |
