Default broken shaft

Found a v twin Honda, says it runs but has a broken (looks to be sheared off) shaft... Can it be saved?

Also found a robin engine but it has a tapered shaft, how are these being used in EZGOs?

Seems like you'd have to replace the crank. Which I imagine would be a complete rebuild. Sounds aggravating.

Ever tried using a Craigslist search tool like this one? http://www.adhuntr.com

A few v-twins available out there for a pretty good price.

That search engine is AWESOME! Thanks.

I did find a local Robin engine, but am unsure about how to deal with the tapered shaft.....

Cartpartsplus.com has a taper clutch adapter here: http://www.cartpartsplus.com/tapered...h-adapter.html

No idea if it will work in your situation or not. But maybe a call to Tom will give you some idea. He knows his stuff & has been very helpful.

Ron, your original 2PG is a tapered shaft.
