had to run home in reverse???

[ez go go]

If your comp. is that good you can rule out the seals and the rings.

so could the f/r switch have anything to do with it ???

Maybe the ignition-system has gone south and the timing is off enough that it only runs in reverse(If you advance the timing for forward,its' retarded for reverse,but if it goes the other way to the advanced-side,it will be dead in forward.)Does the starter turn it over in reverse?If no,then start checking wiring,starter,etc.The F/R switches can get miserable,mine has to be coaxed occasionally(rock the lever a little).Or the contacts are fryed(you can disassemble the switch,file them smooth and reassemble a touch tighter than it was,this works good,done quite a few of them.If nothing still,get a wiring diagram,and do some tests to see if you are getting power to the starter.You could also reverse the F/R wiring to test it(it will change Forward and Reverse direction of the lever).Hope this helps.

last week i was working on the HEI crossover didn't make all the way threw it maybe that has something to do with it? i m at work and just trying to think of things. it did run good all day on thursday and then that nite it just acted like it ran out of fuel and stopped. i ll go threw all my wires today and let you know

Take a look at your F/R switch. On the driver side (under the driver's seat) is small wire attached to a microswitch. If you remove this wire or it is accidentally detached (it could be pulled out easily), the cart will not move forward.

Another thought,you said you didn't finish the HEI conversion?If it isn't mounted to a piece of Aluminum with dielectric grease under it,it will fry the module from overheating.This causes erratic spark/timing or none at all.

switched the f/r switch and it ran half *** foward and good in reverse still
so it's the switch or timing or something else

[pachanga90]

If you have reversed it,and the starter seems ok,i would go thru your ignition wiring,and make sure the module is wired right.You may have cooked it,or it was just defective.Running good in one direction eliminates the coil,wire and plug.I'm leaning hard towards the Module.Hope this helps.

if i leave the air filter off it runs better aka: i can drive it

[camojfk]

ok took the carb off and cleaned it that helped a little bit so it must be the ignition if i complete the HEI conversion that may help?
what do you guys think
