trace the center lead from the dizzy back to the ignition coil, and whip that off. If you can, get another one from a fellow golfer (that is proven to work) and stick it on yours. If it still doesn't start then it might be time to start tracing the wiring back from there.

well i am under the impression that the spark comes from the ecu to the coil pack then to the dizzy. so check to coil if not try swapping the ecu. they are cheap enough off the gay bay. last one i bought was chipped too. (bonus!!)

there is a live at the coil but the middle wire on the hall sender should pulse from a live to an earth if i put a live to the dizzy it sparks but the wire goes to the ecu and the ignition module also could the ignition switch have anything to do with this
thanks
