Default Official Duromax 440 Swap Thread

Alright guys thanks for the help so far but I’m sure I will need more. The below engine is in route along with a 780 comet clutch and HD secondary clutch from VC. Also from VC is the engine mount, S/G bracket for pedal start, drive belt and extended throttle cable. First question is can I run my pulse to fuel pump from the port on the valve cover? Or would I need to drill and tap a nipple for pulse?

Steve, what cart is this going in forgot to ask you. If club car- Vegas carts sells a throttle box relocation bracket which lowers it out of way to clear motor. I don’t have their kit installed yet so I can’t answer if it’s mandatory u have/need it or not. It is inexpensive though.

If you are going to use the S/G you need the S/G pulley and belt.

It’s a ‘91 DS and I ordered the extended throttle cable since I’ll keep the governor for now. Should be able to make that work from what I’ve read/seen.

Hoping someone chimes in about the crank case breather and fuel pump pulse.

I wanted carb spacer but VC site said it didn’t work with these engines.
