E-Z-GO won't accelerate

[blacktop]

I just was given an E-Z-GO K1991 from my neighbor. It starts (the engine idles) but when you press the pedal to the floor - nothing. The cart won't move. I was told that I need an ignitor switch, but it has to be an OEM and NOT a secondary market one. I was told it is under the solenoid. I can't seem to find an OEM ignitor switch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not a mechanic, but I do not mind getting dirty. Thank you.

Does your engine look like the first one in the pic?

This is what it looks like.

Congratulations on the new cart! The engine does indeed look like the one in the first picture, that's a Robin EH29c. And what you are experiencing with the spark issue is pretty common. Before you start replacing parts, you can get up to speed by cleaning up all of the grounds and reviewing all of the posts and procedures in this similar thread here.

Here is a link to the complete service manual, and the attached PDF guide below this post explains how and what the ignitor looks like along with how to properly test the ignition system, this way you're not wasting time and money throwing senseless parts at it. Always use OEM parts for the ignition system purchased through EZGO, which will save you time and money in the long run.

You'll see that the ignition system is composed of several components: the ignition coil, the pulsar coil, and the ignitor. The ignition coil transforms the battery's low voltage into the high voltage necessary to create a spark at the spark plugs. The pulsar coil, also known as the pickup coil, monitors the position and speed of the crankshaft, providing a timing signal so the spark occurs at the right time. The ignitor acts as an electronic switch, using the signal from the pulsar coil to control the flow of current to the ignition coil, thereby regulating the timing of the spark. Feel free to ask any questions!

Thank you! I will report back.
