85 ezgo quits after half mile

CheapDude · 06-22-2019, 05:22 PM

Son drug home a 1985 ezgo gas. We fixed the driven clutch, but it would die after running a while and would have no spark. I tried switching to HEI ignition, but had no luck. Had it wired wrong. After giving up on that, I went back to the original setup, but had no fire at all. Traced it to the pulser, so i replaced that. It fired right up and runs great. We can run it forever, if we keep going, but if we stop for a while, it doesn't have spark again. Let it set for half an hour and it runs again. I would like to try the HEI again, but am having trouble finding a diagram for a 2 PG engine. Is the diagram the same for the 3Pg engine?
Any suggestions what to try when it has no spark?
