Thanks, but yes, I was opening the throttle plate manually while spinning and spraying. I even squirted some gas in the cylinder, installed plug, and still no sign of combustion. The mystery remains…

hmm... compression seems to indicate you have valves moving properly. Only thing I could even think of here is a sheared flywheel key, where spark is happening somewhere it shouldn't but even that should give a backfire, or pop...

What happens if you squirt a little gas directly into the spark plug hole and try to start it?

Is the battery reversed by any chance? + terminal should be toward the front of the cart, opposite of most Club Car and EZGOs. Spinning the wrong direction could give you all the conditions you have (fuel, spark, compression) while still not even trying to run.

Winner Winner chicken dinner!!!! Meimk figured it out! The owner of the cart said his neighbor had tried to help by replacing the starter generator.. When I spun the engine, I noticed the clutch was turning BACKWARDS. Swapped the leads on the SG, engine turning forward now, and fired right up….Thanks for all the help guys!

Thanks again! Was a first for me too. It’s much less expensive to keep it simple….

Funny coincidence: I've got a cart that just came in today with a battery wired up backwards. Guy said the dealer had replaced the battery a couple days ago. Supposedly it ran for the couple of days and quit while he was driving it. Not sure how all that could have happened but I swapped the battery around, charged it a few minutes and now it starts and charges. I'm going to trickle charge it overnight and recheck in the morning. So don't feel all alone. It does happen.
