![]() I don't see how there's nothing wrong with this motor. The guy above keeps saying that it's made for constant running and not stop and go. He said it will stall or something, idk read his posts.

![]() Starting with the basics first...
Is your cart a 2 stroke? If so you would lose reverse gear putting this engine in and not swapping to a 4 stroke rear end($400 if youre lucky to find one). The engine is a generator tapered shaft and it will be a challenge to get a clutch to fit. The adaptor Cpp sells takes a stock tapered golf cart clutch and fits it to a 1" straight shaft engine. It does not adapt a clutch to a generator taper shaft engine(unless there's something new Im not aware of!) Recoil start engine makes it hard to enjoy. You could use the starter generator off the old engine, but then you need the original clutch to fit this engine, which is going to require a machine shop... $$. The harbor freight engine is your best bet for not much more money you will get something thats been proven time and again works good. Dont underestimate the fab and design work it takes to make them mount up and run properly. It takes 3 times as long and cost twice as much as you had planned to complete custom builds. It's not easy like people think, but this could be a fun project for you. ![]() |

![]() I guess I can add another question to this reply. Which motor would be best? Remember, I would like this thing to be able to go up hills smoothly and ride with at least 3 people on it. http://www.harborfreight.com/engines...nia-68136.html http://www.harborfreight.com/engines...nia-68120.html I wasn't really looking to spend this much on the motor under this line, but if neither of the top 2 will do, I guess I can fork over the extra cash. http://www.harborfreight.com/engines...nia-68306.html Also, if you guys have any other engines, maybe cheaper, I'd like to see some. edit- ****, just realized they are all recoil start.. This recoil start would be alright if there was some way I could attach the generator to the motor to crank it. |
