ezgo 4 stroke cdi conversion

I just went back through all my training manuals and found this reference to the ignition systems. Obviously it does not cover the MCI engines.

Just thought it might make interesting reading LOL. I tried to turn the file but for some reason it keeps ending up sideways.

Maybe I got it right this time.

I ran the GM ignition module like some do on the 2 strokes. You could tell by engine behavior that the timing was not advancing and eventually it got worse. It had little power and backfire at takeoff. If this fails the only thing left is the pulsar and different ones are available. This could be tricky but this one works fine. I will tinker more with this later, I will post the wiring.

@ mpyrol.

At last, someone has come back to us with an honest evaluation using a high energy ignition module. The two stokes would be fine on this as they dont need ignition advance but conclusively they do not work well on the four strokes.

I think we will wait to see how the GY6 module compares.

It would also be interesting to see what voltage an MCI pulser puts out and if the GY6 module would make this engine run too. I guess at this stage, not knowing the exact differences between MCI and pre MCI ignition systems apart from timing, and different pulser impedance only trial and error will prove anything.

What is that white thing with the words on it? Haven’t seen one of those in years.

Neither have I LOL. I found it down in the back of my office in a box marked EZGO training manuals. its called a preventative maintenance and basic repair manual. Not sure what that means to be honest, but it made interesting reading!

I had a rummage through the box and found all sorts of good stuff. All the tech service manuals for 2 and 4 stroke gas, electric series, PDS, DCS KFC, PYT, PMT, you name it its all there right up to 2013, when I officially retired from the trade! I probably have more of this stuff than Textron.

I made those ones up LOL
