No Spark

surveyor · 04-04-2009, 05:13 PM

I am working on a Jacobsen Turf Truck 1110, It is set up just like a gas golf cart. After cleaning all the wires, grounds and connections I finally got spark. I was messing with the ground post on the ignitor panel and "at the vary last revolution of the engine both plugs spark once..." It helps if I release the peddle quickly, as opposed to releasing it gentley. Anyone have an Idea, I'm headed out to tear into the pulse coil and under the cowling. This is an image of what I'm dealing with.

Ok, I have taken off the cowling and cleaned the PULSER COIL and FLYWHEEL, and believe it or not there was no change. They both still spark after letting off the gas?????

Alright, I got an answer from a genius on the buggiesunlimited site.
This happens when there is a wire (ground) hooked up backwards, now the adventure begins. Has anyone resolved this that could save me some time, anyone!!!

Sorry I can't help more but..... I read about this in one of the other gas forums here...same thing. So have you tried the seach yet for other no spark threads?

Surveyor, You say you have spark, is the cart running? Are you just wondering about the dual spark at shut down? I am not an expert on turf carts, but the dual spark sounds normal to me in that when you turn the engine off the field in both coils would collapse and give that last simoltainous spark.

Scottyb - I have done some searching but have not found an exaxt solution, the best so far was the groundinpost on the grounding plate, that makes a difference when I cleaned and re attached them, from no spark to final spark.

dock98 - Thank you I saw that this forum has many responces to posts so I thought I might have a chance here. Thank you for welcoming me.

Doomsman - No it doesen't run, not even kick over nothing. I just got both the spark plugs to fire at the releasing of the peddle. I found some information on anouther site, guy say's it is a reversed connection, but *** I can't figure it out, I have gone thought the wires numerous times and think they are correct. The thing that bothers me is the key switch, those wires were completley off the diagram and etched by someone in the wrong spot, But it still did what it is doing now after I connected them to the diagram??????

So no matter what I do, cleaned all connections, flywheel, pulser coil etc etc, I get the same result. What am I misssing. But hey I got the dump bed working and before the micro switch on the peddle wasn't working, that works, I'm getting somewhere.

Should I be getting a reading from the pulser coil wires on my tester????
Cause I don't get anything.

Yes....It has ohm resistance, don't remember the value right off but it's in the service manual. The 1110 are branded ezgo workhorses, look in the gas ezgo tech section for the manuals. you'd be better off to post in the ezgo section for question, I didn't even find this thread till today.
