Default 4 stroke HEI conversion

Hey everybody, new guy here looking for some help. I have a 96 ez-go workhorse with a 295 Robins engine. The ignitor ears broke off which in turn lead to the orange wire breaking at the connection point.

I have seen some posts of people doing a conversion to the GM HEI system but those all seem to be for the 2-stroke. I read a couple of replies where people did the 4 stroke but with parts laying around like an MSD box, which I dont just have laying around. My question is has anybody went to the parts store and bought just the GM module and used it to power the 4-stroke coils? If any other parts where used then please tell me. Tell me your experience and how it worked out. I dont want to start a new thread later saying its not running right or any other stuff. Any help is much appreciated and thank you for your time.

Well the modification works well on the two stroke but when I asked guys to post if they had made it work on the four stroke all I got was the sound of crickets chirping and tumble weed blowing across the screen.

I suspect that the HEI unit does not have the power to supply two coils which is what the 4 stroke coil in effect is.

The problem is that the 295 ignitor has a built in electronic ignition advance. You won't have advance if you go to an HEI.

Thank you for the replies, Its has been very quiet when discussion the 4 stroke conversion. One post had a person using an MSD box but I dont just have one laying around. The ignitor is $130 off ebay and alot for through EZ-GO. If you know where I can find one alot cheaper please let me know. Thanks for the input so far.

Jeff, I would love to buy it right now but dont know a way to get in touch with you. I havent made enough posts to use the PM system yet. If you can send me your email I can pay through paypal or however you would like. That would be a really big help and thank you very much.
