2022 ezgo efi golfcart not running when wet

[Katie99]

I have a 2022 ezgo efi gas golfcart.
The cart runs great when dry out. If I get caught it ran and stop cart will not start. It will turn over but will not fire off the motor.
Once cart dries out it run fine.
Also, if I feather the throttle for about 10 minutes it will eventually fire off and then will run all day long with no issues.
Only happens when cart gets wet via a rai storm or if I run through a puddle.
Battery voltage is good. No corrosion on battery.
Fuel pump kicks on. Sparkplug is good.
It acts like it is not getting fuel then after 10 minutes of playing with throttle it will start to sputter then fires off.
Not sure where to look at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The dealer would be the obvious choice for a '22. I'm guessing you're not near a dealer? Is it the Kwang Yang engine?

Probably a little crack in the coil. Not uncommon for that to happen in cars too.

However I wouldn’t touch or look much into anything. If you have to take something apart you’ve gone too far. Take it to the dealer and let them figure it out and fix it. You paid a whole lot of money for the thing brand new with a warranty, use it

It's a kawasaki motor.
Dealer says there is nothing wrong with it. That's why I am asking here.
Thank you

Then the best thing you can do is document as much as you can. How many times you’ve taken the cart to them, dates, etc.

Take a video of it when it’s wet and it fails. Bring the video to the dealer to show them what it’s doing when it gets wet.

If after a video they still refuse to admit something is wrong then contact ezgo corporate. States have a lemon law for a reason. They can/will escalate it as far as necessary if you stay on them.

I hate to say it has to be that way, but if you touch anything to try and diag or repair it yourself the dealer can claim unauthorized repair/damage/abuse and void your warranty. Every state is a little different in how that part goes, some states are more lenient than others. But I’d err on the side of caution.
