Re: Snowmobile Engine In a Golf Cart
I've done it before. You sure won't be disapointed with a 700. I put a 440 Arctic Cat engine in and it definately will haul!!
Install is pretty straight foward. I used the snowmobile's primary clutch which worked perfect for me. Hey be sure to get your wheelie bar ready!! |

Re: Snowmobile Engine In a Golf Cart
That is badass....but i dont know if i will be able to run the 700 because of the size...yours lookds like a really clean well dont setup...maybe i will fine a 440 to put in it...lol were did you run your exhaust too and did you just use the same rear pully that is on a stock one...also have you had any toubles tearing up the rear end?? wow i am kinda excited to try this

Re: Snowmobile Engine In a Golf Cart
Right, #1 make sure it will fit in there. The first one I bought was close to 600cc with recoil start only. The recoil made it extra wide and the engine wouldn't fit between the frame rails. Got a hammer?
I used the stock driven clutch. I didn't have any problems with the rear holding up to the power. They are capable of much more. I ran the exhaust out the back witout the expansion chamber. Find some way to fit the expansion chamber in there at all costs for max power. I just used a car muffler to quiet it down some. You can kinda see the muffler here. Good luck with your project!! |

Re: Snowmobile Engine In a Golf Cart
Wouldnt you have to find some way to fit the stock exhaust in there wouldnt you?? on a 2-stroke motor you need some type of back compression...(like were the pipe gets smaller) for better combustion? i am kinda looking for a 440 motor i really like the one that Xtreme did...it looks real clean and im sure it would run pleanty good enough

Re: Snowmobile Engine In a Golf Cart
It definately runs better with the expansion chamber.
