Golf cart help

   I found a mechanic special yamaha golf cart 1994 model year.  I think it's called a g5 model. 

Any way it did not run.  So I did some poking around and decided the ignition box was bad.  Ordered one from the Amazon.  It come with a new coil also.  Put it on and it run great.  I'm happy as a lark. Although I notice idle isn't any good. It ways to buck and lurch. It'll also back fire.  Called original owner he said it has done that for some time now. He tried adjusting a micro switch on the gas pedal. 

Oh well it runs I'll use it faster then idle. Well today I went to use it and it spun over no fire.  Kick the tires  mutter some words of anger and walk away.  10 minutes later calmed down going to try it again.  Climbed on and vroom away we go. 

What might be giving me a intermittent no start.  

P.s. original owner said it was giving him a occasional no start.  Until it turned into a no start for good and that's when I come into the picture

	Maybe the ignition switch is 'gimpy' ?? It's probably 30 years old, had 100,000 turns ,and well...some things just don't last forever... Check with test light at switch,then starter to see IF power is going to where it should be. You 'should' be able to get a wiring diagram for the beast. THAT is a must !! electrical IS easy WHEN you have the wiring diagram.

	Yes, wiring diagram would be very helpful. I know with some motorcycle CDI/ignition boxes a bad ground can cause it to have weak/intermittent spark and eventually kill the box so maybe checking grounds would be a good start.
