cayuna 440cc

bajarebel1

Is it possibe to put a cayuna 440cc motor in a golf cart and if so do u need to start with a gas powered golf cart or can u convert an electric cart. I am wanting to build a golf cart and have that motor laying around. I also have a yamaha 100cc go cart motor that i could use if it would be better. what kind of modifications and money is involved in one of the swaps.
thanks for your help

Is it possible? Yes

Would I do it? No - Why?
1 - Converting an electric to gas also will cost you a rear end / tranny, foot controls, fabrication time, clutches, etc. Just go buy a used gas and save your time and money (unless, of course, you are a master fabticator with endless amounts of time and tools).
2 - Old 2 stroke engines ran in 2 different engine rotations. Do an engine swap you will only have forward OR reverse.

thanks for the reply, if i buy a old gas cart then would the engine work, because they have transmissions or would i still only have forward or reverse with that motor

As long as the cart (gasser) has a transmission that actually shifts from forward to reverse, then "yes", it could work.

cool thanks for your help

search on here and buggiesunlimited.com for examples of other guys who have done it. at least 5 carts have been documented in the last 12 months
I would some of the build threads to get a idea of the amount of work needed. Doing it yourself saves money but takes time.
especially when you start talking odd ball motors
