Ran great, now she wont start
Hello everyone, its been a while since I was last on BGW. I am having some issues with my 1996 Club Car DS. I took it for a quick spin around town a few days ago and it ran as it always does, which I pretty good. When I got back I had to stop and open the garage door, I got back on, pushed the pedal and it just turned over, but would not fire up.
I had this happen one time before, a buddy pulled me back to the camper, when we tried to start it, it fired right up. Hadn't had any problems since then till now My question is...What and how are the best ways to troubleshoot this |

Re: Ran great, now she wont start
Not sure of engine similarities but I had the same issues with my '02 ez go txt.
ended up that the valves were way out of adjustment. 15 min of adjustments and it ran like new. |

Re: Ran great, now she wont start
The 3 most common faults with an engine not starting:
Battery, (which you have) Fuel, and spark! Checking those will narrow down where to start! |

Re: Ran great, now she wont start
OK, so I checked and I have no spark at my plug. I did notice that when I was messing with the key it almost fired.(when pressing pedal).
Maybe something with my keyswitch? |

Re: Ran great, now she wont start
Can a bad rev limiter cause me to have no spark? It has already had the ground disconnected and ran fine for about a year that way. Trying to figure this out

Re: Ran great, now she wont start
In most cases with a 1992 to 1996 FE290 engine with no spark, it's usually a bad ignitor,
The ignitor is mounted under the rev limiter. (97+ engines have the ignitor built into the coil) http://www.cartpartsplus.com/ignitor-92-96 Note: there have been complaints that when some had bought a new ignitor, (eg. ebay, etc.) the new one was bad also, so keep that in mind. |

Re: Ran great, now she wont start
Well it ended up being the igniter. Replaced it and it fired right up. New plug, oil and filter, air filter, and fuel filters, and some new gas lines. I think I'm ready for summer. Well after a good cleanin.
Thanks to everyone who helped me solve my problem |
