Sparkless in Superior

[lyleho]

My Golf cart was acting up like it would only run for about 4 holes the quit and when in cooled down it would run again???


Had the Ignition Coil replaced in My Yamaha G16 1996 Golf cart..wallhaaa it ran great for about 180 holes(10 days) then It quit and won't start even when cold.

I checked the Spark with a "Spark Checker" NO Spark???

Where do I begin???

Thank You... I'll appreciate any and all help!

I had a similar experience on my G9. My cart would run for a while and quit too until she cooled down. Then, she wouldn't start at all. I replaced the coil, she ran a little while and then quit again. Bought another coil, this time a OEM, the cart ran for about once around the block and it died again. Replaced the ignitor and she's running better than ever before. I did buy a after market ignitor, I hope it lasts, just couldn't pony up the expense for the OEM.

Good Luck

BBailey,
Could you tell us where you got the igniter? I'm thinking mine could be going bad! The only igniters I can find are around three big ones.
Thanks

On the G16, the Ignitor is part of the Ignition coil assembly.

I would check first to make sure all you electrical connections check OK for continuity, voltage, are clean and tight.

If your cart is a G16, the ignition coil is all you will have in the "spark producing" section of your cart (has no seperate ignitor). A couple things you can check are:
1. Make sure the air gap between the flywheel and the ignition coil is not excessive. The thickness of a 3 x5 index card is pretty good to check the air gap. Actually, you can loosen the coil, insert the index card between coil and flywheel at the magnets, press the coil slightly into the flywheel magnets, then tighten.
2.You could also check the stop relay by unplugging it then check for spark. You should have spark with it unplugged. If you do have spark with relay unplugged, check the wiring connections to the relay before you replace it. The blue wire from the coil gets grounded by the relay to kill spark.

Hope this helps - RAY
