Default Boo's Cart & 16hp Kawasaki V-twin

Since my original thread lost all the photos in a crash.. thought I'd put an edited edition here. This is the cart when we started, some photos of the motor install, and what it is now.

Yes water cooled. It's attached to the motor. Just hard to see in any of the pics

Hey Boo. What is that engine in there? Being water cooled draws my intrest for an upcoming project. I may need to see some more pics of the back of the engine.

Came from Tom at Cart Parts Plus. 16hp water cooled V-twin. It's an awesome motor. Fast and runs strong. Goes almost anywhere I've taken it. GPS'd at 38.9 with stock clutches. It originally came as a kit, but the price shot up right after I got mine and he stopped carrying the kit. You can still buy the motor but you would have to do the fabbing and wiring yourself. I really can't say enough about what a quality motor it is. I can take some other pics if you tell me what you need.

these kawasakis are very dependable engines, john deere ran that same liquid cooled engine in alot of different hp's.. the only thing i seen in 6 years as a tech was popping pushrods off.. they also sometimes would break teeth off the cam gears.. ither than that they were very awesome!!! look for the john deere 445, 22hp v-twin with fuel injection... sweet!!!
