I.

This is the key here. You need the data on how the actual cart behaves.
You could use an arduino to duplicate this to test the ignitor.
However,
This sorta defeats the purpose of the goal for an “easy way to test the ignitor” as the average person at home isn’t going to be able to do this.
There really is no “easy” way to test it unfortunately. Which is probably why the service manual will tell you how to test pretty much every other part of the ignition system. And the test for an ignitor is to “replace with known good unit”.
Is it possible to test the ignitor with a home made test fixture? Sure. But possible for the every day DIY’er that hasn’t graduated from CM University? Unfortunately, I doubt it.
