24Hp honda blown?

desertroamer · 10-13-2008, 12:49 PM

Well I am new here and just thought I would say good site. Where to start, well I got a lifted golf cart with a honda 24hp in it and the other day I took my son for a crusie around the neighborhood when all of the sudden bang then it went dead. I knew then that it was toast. got it home and looked under and I had blown a hole right out the front bottom case. Well I pretty much think its a scrap unless anyone has any ideas??

My question is were can I find a honda 24hp at and how much should I pay. I am going to buy new and want to stick with the honda because the header pipe, engine mounts and wiring are all set up for it.

Engine is toast if you blew the side out of the casing. That thing must have been on it's last leg. They are tough engines and can withstand quite a bit of abuse. Check out one of our sponsors for another Honda engine: link in my sig.

Yea we had been hittin it pretty good. I found a good deal on one but It is a model 24hp gs670 TDW not sure what TDW is. It says remote start 20amp charger so I think it is good. any suggestions

I got the engine out but how do you get the clutch off the shaft. I was wanting to see what size I had

Not sure what TDW is either unless it is refering to the direction the shaft spins. To remove the clutch, just get an empact and remove the center bolt in the clutch. What price are they asking for the engine?

$999 Brand new with 2yr warranty most I have seen are in the $1300 to $1600 range.

Yea I was pretty shocked also. We haven't had the cart that long. As you know being from Arizona the cooler weather is here. Time to hit the dunes and octillo so I got get this cart up and rollin

I get a pic of it and let yall see it when I get a chance.

$999 sounds like a good deal. Especially with a 2 year warrantee. Just check on the shaft. It may have to be cut or machined for the clutch.

If you decide to get another clutch or have to get another one, here is some info on a comet that should fit that engine:

Comet says this is the unit for the Honda GX670 24HP:

The drive clutch you can use is 209739A, this is a 1 1/8" bore and takes a 1 3/16" top width belt. The clutch engages at 1800rpm and will work with the OEM driven unit.

The retaining bolt that is with this clutch is a 3/8"-24 3 ½" You will need to get a bolt that fits your crankshaft.

Get with comet to verify this but it should still be correct.

We're heading out Oct. 23 to Gordons for our first trip of the season. Can't wait. Been too long since we played in the sand.
