Re: 83 Marathon. Intermittent spark.
Got the parts for the upgrade the other day and installed them. Cart runs as it did before, but I wasn't able to get it out and really check it out. Not sure if I still have an intermittent spark problem anymore and may not know until next year as race season is winding down (that's the only time I use it).
But, the install was painless. Here a few pix...... |

Re: 83 Marathon. Intermittent spark.
Race Chaser your install looks great!! I noticed in pic 1 the ground wire to the module at the screw hole which is correct and I'll bet a whole group of guys forget this witch is important. THANKS for the pics as it Will help others.

Re: 83 Marathon. Intermittent spark.
Thanks! I'd say you were right when you say the ground wire is forgotten. I would've forgotten it also if I didn't double check the wiring with the wiring diagram before I reconnected the battery.....

Re: 83 Marathon. Intermittent spark.
Background: Before the HEI upgrade I had a situation where the cart would intermitently not start due to no spark. I did the upgrade last fall and put the cart away for the winter. Now.........
Update: The cart runs OK, but it breifly hesitates while running. Seems like it looses spark mid-run or maybe is starved for gas mid-run or maybe.....I don't know. Some thing's I've done: 1) cleaned all ground terminals and battery terminals. Repaired a questionable wire connection from the new coil to solonoid. Put a new spark plug in it. Fuel filter stays 1/4 to 1/2 full while running. Anyone have other suggestions? Any help is appreciated! Thanks. |

Re: 83 Marathon. Intermittent spark.
Mine would kinda cut out on a long run I ended up adjusting the float to let the bowl hold more fuel and it stopped just be careful not to give it to much and cause flooding

Re: 83 Marathon. Intermittent spark.
Thanks for the response. I took it out last night and experimented a little. It seems the problem only happens at more than half throttle. Less than half throttle, it runs good.

Re: 83 Marathon. Intermittent spark.
I haven't had the time to troubleshoot it more. I used the cart periodically through the summer and it still has the same problem, although I did notice that it would run fine about 30% of the time.
