Just picked up a 87. Ezgo. 244cc buggy. Missing parts question!!

[Jlvictorino]

Hi guys. I'm new to this forum. I will try to answer as best as I can. I just picked up a 1987 ezgo 244cc cart Here is what I know about it. 244cc Robin engine. It's missing the starter generator. And the piece that selects it to go in forward. Or reverse. I'm not sure what that piece is called. It has good compression from hand turning it over from what I can feel.

Here is my question. Other then buying the starter generator. And the unit that selects forward. Reverse. And battery. Would you guys go and do a full rebuild on the upper? Lower? Or just replace the missing parts and see if it runs ? I only spent 80 bucks on the buggy. So I'm not out a bunch of money on it. What do you guys suggest ? Thank you all!!!!!
