1997 EZGO TXT No Spark Replaced Everything
Hi folks, long time listener, first time caller. I have a 1997 EZGO TXT Gas cart that I bought from a friend that had been sitting for a very long time unused. Overall it was in fairly good condition. The gas in the fuel lines was like molasses. The cart has no spark but will turn over. I have done the following:
Repairs/Changes: Cleaned out fuel pump and verified functionality Replaced Battery Replaced Solenoid (Used a generic automotive solenoid) Replaced Ignitor Replaced Pulser Replaced Spark Plugs Replaced Coil Changed fuel lines Replaced fuel filter Replaced Air Filter Cleaned carb Cleaned fuel tank Replaced connector on (-) side of coil Spliced wire on (+) side of coil Spliced oil pressure wire Wire brushed negative terminal to frame Wire brushed Voltage regulator surface When I press the gas, the solenoid clicks, and the motor turns, trying to start but does not start. I have tried using starter fluid and still nothing. I have also pulled the long spark plug wire from the spark plug, and stuck a screwdriver in, holding it close to frame with no spark. I have also done the same thing on the other spark plug wire and held the two screwdrivers close with a very weak spark (only one). One thing I have noticed is that there is low voltage, only 9v at the solenoid energizing post, and 8-9v at the ignition coil (+). I have tried my hardest to search the forums for a similar problem but none have solved my dilemma. Any suggestions is very much appreciated. |

Re: 1997 EZGO TXT No Spark Replaced Everything
These carts are not that complicated to make run correct.
Could you upload a video to youtube of what it is doing and post the link here ? You did install the battery the correct way ? believe me it can be done. That generic automotive solenoid will not last 30 minutes If you are handy working on things then try yourself to get it going. Check that battery and post back |

If you are anywhere near Celina, Ohio I can give you the contact number of a guy that will guarantee he can fix your cart. I had a similar problem that 2 shops could not fix and he fixed it.

Re: 1997 EZGO TXT No Spark Replaced Everything
9 volts isnt enough. Your wiring diagram is here....http://products.jacobsen.com/img/manuals/605586.pdf
Page L5. If you have 12 volts at the battery but not at the solenoid, you are losing voltage somewhere in between. Ignition switch? |

If you replaced the ignitor with an aftermarket you should know I put 3 new aftermarket ignitors on my 97 cart and all 3 were junk. Found an OEM ignitor and it now runs great.
