EZ-GO Workhorse

[deepsand]

So I have this cart I picked up serial # leads me to believe it is a 2002 model but it looks like the engine has been swapped out with a MCI engine (engine product# EH352CE10106872). I cant find any info online using that product#.

I dont think the person that swapped it out realized that the igniter is different as it has the old style 5 wire igniter still in the cart and I cannot get spark off of it for the life of me.

So my question is what exactly do I need to do to get this cart setup correctly? Do I only need the igniter? Do I need a new wiring harness for the igniter and the igniter? Or do I need more than that?

Begin by verifying the serial number and model number of your EZGO Workhorse and look for any supplementary numbers on the engine itself. Accurate identification is needed because the Marathon and Marathon Convertible Ignition (MCI) ignitor, its associated wiring, and the ignition coil significantly differ from the older EZGO ignition systems.

The MCI system uses a unique ignitor, the older 5-wire ignitor present in your cart is incompatible with the MCI engine most likely leading to the no spark condition you're experiencing. The first step is to replace this ignitor with the correct MCI ignitor. Alongside the ignitor, the wiring harness for the MCI system is also different. Therefore, you will need either a new wiring harness designed for the MCI configuration or the expertise to custom wire it yourself, ensuring each connection aligns with the MCI requirements. For instance, you will require the EZ-GO 72872G01 Ignitor Assembly, designed explicitly for 4 Cycle MCI engines. Additionally, you should obtain the EZ-GO Jumper Harness (part number 74362G01) and the EZ-GO Ignition Coil Jumper Wire (part number 74373G01).

To aid in this process I recommend reviewing the EZGO Workhorse Service Manuals particularly the wiring diagrams for both the older ignition systems and the MCI systems. By comparing the diagrams you can identify which specific changes are necessary for the conversion. Once these parts arrive and are installed, they should correct the no spark condition, just double check the pulsar coil with a continuity tester of some kind, needs to open/loose continuity every revolution.
