Cart Subtotal:
Your golf cart uses a three-piece ignition system. You have an ignition coil that creates the high-level voltage needed to produce the spark. Then, the pulsar coil mounted on the flywheel; uses a dead spot to time the spark. Finally, the Club Car DS Gas Ignitor works with the pulsar's timing to collapse the spark. The whole system fails if any of these three amigos goes on a siesta. The spark has to happen at just the right time to ignite the fuel in the cylinder, just like a perfectly executed football play. It all comes down to timing.
If it is even a fraction of a second off, the golf cart could backfire or miss and maybe not run. If you think you are starting to have issues with this system, the time to act is now before you are dead in the water. Things are going to get progressively worse in most cases. There will be warning signs, but sometimes they progress so quickly that you do not have a lot of time to act. You must pay attention to anything that seems out of the ordinary. If it's not performing correctly, something is off-kilter and needs addressing.
This golf cart ignitor fits the early nineties Club Car, counter-rotating, OHV engines. If you are one of those intelligent customers who bought a parts manual, grab it and verify that this 1016491 replacement is the right one for your golf cart.

Forward facing part of the motor, follow wires on face of motor, it’s almost mounted right in the center of the front of the motor, but kinda behind/under carb, if I remember correctly there is a small black box clamped to the motor with a 2- bolt ban strap, which need to be removed primarily to expose ignitor, not a tuff fix just tedious getting to everything. Hope this helps
Either the motor/generator or the coil. Limiter controls spark to plug (kind of like the points on the old vehicle engines).
In 1997 Club Car made a big change to the ignition system They went from a 3 part system to a 2 part setup. The ignitor got built into the coil, so part # 5133 covers both parts. However, If you have this igniter on the backside of your RPM limiter, that means your Club Car is an early 97 that uses 96 tech and this will work great.
I had to replace the coil again,first one was no good,next one worked like a charm and still is one year later
When the ignitor goes out it will turn over but not fire. Unplug the white wire with black stripe and see if it fires
Problems with the fuel system is the top cause of runability problems with piston engines. 1. check fuel level and condition. 2 check fuel lines, mainly any lines in the fuel tank. 3 is the fuel pump working. 4 check for water or other material in the fuel filter and carborator and are the mounting bolts tight.
If all this checks out, then start working on the ign system starting with the spark plug, then check the wireing that shuts down the engine including all of the safety switches. The ign system parts are the last thing to go wrong. Happy hunting
Try replacement of coil. Mine had fire but limiter wasnt firing properly
No
Little tough to get to but once it’s in car runs much better.
If they have a heavy duty unit buy it.
Sometimes it seems to be a little short on spark.
My g and son drives the wheels off of it and it hasn’t let us down yet.
Good customer service 👍
