Hello guys,
Joined forum to see if I can get a little input.
A family member acquired an old 1988 EZ-GO GAS 3 wheeled cart txt 800
I found a manual online for 89+ I was able to use it to wire up the cart.
It now will turn over when in reverse or forward with key on and depressing pedal. With spark plug out engine will spin... adding plug and checking for spark by leaving plug in wire and grounding plug I can see a slight spark. Also when wiring a new coil and ignitor was installed.
When the plug is in the engine spins very slow. In searching the forum I have found other similar threads. I have cleaned up connections including grounds.
I have asked the family member to put battery on charger overnight. At this point I want to rule out weak battery. I also believe that improving a couple of the main connectors is in order.
We are using a battery from a zeroturn lawn mower. Would this be adequate for the robbins engine? what is recommended battery for this vehicle?
Will weak battery also affect the amount of spark. (thinking if the engine was turning over properly I may see a stronger spark)
Thanks for any input you folks may have.
We have made progress today it now turns over and there is some spark.
