Re: Building this cart
Center is nuetral. Sounds like the forward synchro ring is jammed so that’s all you get in F or N. When you put it in R the reverse synchro engages as well which locks the gear sets in interference.
You can drive forward and try to jam it in reverse while it’s still rolling, should have the same effect as rolling backwards downhill. |

Re: Building this cart
One interesting thing I feel I should share since I was involved in another thread started by a member with an '85 Club Car DS. He had concerns about his cart's rear end because he was doing a v-twin swap and the parts that Vegas Carts sells for these swaps list for 1986-up, and that 1984-1985 carts with the "Fuji" rear end will have clearance issues. He posted a photo of his rear axle (on the left side in the photo below) and it looks different than both of mine (I have an '87 and a '90). To make a long story short, we deduced that he does have the Fuji axle, and it looks like your rear end on this bumper-car cart is also a Fuji unit. I guess if you're not doing a big block swap you likely won't have an issue. Just more of an FYI in case you ever tear into the rear axle.

Re: Building this cart
Not having a shifter cable OR seat might make it kind of tricky!

Re: Building this cart
Yes Springbok I was reading that thread and the rear ends look the same. It's a Honda 390 engine

Re: Building this cart
Sorry I can't help you with any questions, but wanted to say it's that's a cool little cart! I can picture it as a fast, soap-box derby type ride.
What are your plans for it? |

It belongs to a friend of mine that doesn't know anything about golf carts. He builds hot rods and he's doing some work on my 1929 ford roadster pickup truck that I'm building. Were trading off work. He's doing some welding and body work for me. And I'm putting the cart back together for him and getting it running. It is a cool cart. Runs good. |
