      ...bruh, I LOVE this project! I bought 3 wheel gas Harley Davidson golf cart for $150.00 and it got stolen from the shop I took it to after I spent big bucks on new tires and rims... the owner of the shop reimbursed me for the rims and tires, but the local sheriff wouldn't even investigate the theft because he claimed that I couldn't prove ownership...he also told me that if I didn't drop it that I would be investigated for theft of the cart...corrupt sob probably had it sitting in his garage...

      When you go to build your own, look up buggies unlimited, they are like go power sports, but for golf carts. people put lifts, engine swaps, stiffer springs in the driven pulley, etc.

    I built a .018 out of the holes hemi 420, long billet rod, forged piston, stainless valves, 36 lb springs, Torque+ cheater cam, governor delete, billet flywheel with ring gear, bored 3 circuit carb, and custom 1 1/4 exhaust. Installed it in an old but gently used Hyundai cart. Poboy side by side. Does endless donuts on pavement and climbs hills like a billygoat.

    My electric txt ratio is 12.44:1, I thought I read the gas was 13.25:1 in forward & 14.36:1 in reverse but I could be mistaking. Check out buggiesgonewild forum for more info.

    This is a 750lb build with an open diff and slicks, you got as much as you could expect, upgrade the tires and change the gearing a bit, you'll get some more performance offroad.

      The CC motor mounts are so much more versatile than EZ especially when you look at DS's with those Kawasaki's in them compared to a txt from a newer year. Now and days ezgo's motors sit low in the mount but the swing arm assembly has a lot of real estate.

  • @jameslowe6795
    @jameslowe6795 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I can take a tiptie, and open the butterfly all the way open and with the stock 2 cylinder engine it will kill that. Only problem is when u hit the gas it's full throttle. You just have to let off gas to slow down, and if u really want it to move use a snowmobile engine it basically bolts right up and a old 340 or 440cc is plenty.

That will fit a duromax shaft? I did buy6 the tapered adapter.....thanks...

      Not since 82 in most brands of cart have they done that. Any Robin motor of 13 hp Kawasaki motor has a fwd rev rear end. Old pre 90's carts had the reverseable motor but phased them out due to inefficiencies.
