Default ezgo hei conversion

My 1987 ezgo 244 2 cycle would not run so i borrowed an igniter from a freinds 88 ezgo and it started right up. Not wanting to spend 120.00 to get new igniter i found your website discussing hei conversion so after locating your diagram on hookup i bought a module for a 1976 gm 1/2 ton p/u with 350 it still wont produce spark with new module do I need coil also

id say spend $120.00 how much was the module? just that much closer to the right part. maybe try a golf cart rental company, they usually have quite a few old parts laying around

Get an ignitor from a chain saw, weedeater or blower. Older style Echo, Stihl and weedeater brand uses the external ignitor and alot cheaper.
I have one from a $3.00 yard sale string trimmer that I soldered two wires and Alligator clips on to use for testing.

I did the conversion and it worked great. Sounds like you may still be looking for the real problem... Good luck.

I just followed the diagram exactly as they had it in the tech section (http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/ezgo-...iagram-id.html). Make certain you have a really good ground under the HEI. I scraped away all the paint and used dielectric grease between the frame and the module.

Your problem may be the wiring diagram itself. The actual HEI module wiring diagram on this site is a bit confusing. There are 5 wires going to the module, 1 to each of the four lettered tabs, and a black ground wire goes between the module and the frame as another ground. Here is a picture of mine for you to see. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/membe...onversion.html I also switched the two pulsar coil wires as others have had to do.

I hope this helps you iron out the problems, I think this is absolutely the best thing you can do for power and performance on these old turds.

Those modules are only 20.00 bucks. I would definitely switch it to the hei.
