07 Umax Vc 625 build
Hi guys
New to the golf cart world just pick up a free 07 Umax. I work at a ford dealership, the cart had been left for dead for 2 years now I ask the owners son how much he wanted for it, I never got a response. 3 months go by the owners son needed some help with his jet ski in return he gave me the cart 😁. He told me the motor was blown, did a quick search found a oem motor for $900🙀 i told myself if spend that kinda money it better be 3times the hp I quickly found out their is not much info on the Umax it’s a breed of its own 🤦🏽*♂️ No lift kits no nada. I ordered the vc 625cc and plate and some accessories. Planning on a full repaint and wheels and tires, lights, sound and a winch Here are some pics of my progress |

Re: 07 Umax Vc 625 build
I feel your pain on having very little, if Any options for your cart.
I was given a 2007 Columbia ParCar. Not many options, and the ones that are out there, cost 3-4 times what it should. Good luck with the cart. Sometimes, a little ingenuity and innovation can go a long way. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk |

Re: 07 Umax Vc 625 build
Which will make the engine level ? Are those bolts like that going to take the torque ?

Re: 07 Umax Vc 625 build
the plan was to get someone to machine me some longer spacers. having the motor level is a must on both options. I spent too much money to have this thing go up in smoke

Re: 07 Umax Vc 625 build
Point 2 Which will work best with the exhaust system ? Yamahas engine swaps are usually tight in this area.

Re: 07 Umax Vc 625 build
going to build it from scratch so nothing set in stone yet...I'm going to wait for my clutch to come in I'll make a decision then.

Re: 07 Umax Vc 625 build
Great thinking. My guess for clutch alignment lower is going to be better. Looks like you are man with a plan. Have fun.
