Hyundai 420 clone build
This is the start of my beater Hyundai golf cart HF 420 engine swap. While I may not always have the pics in perfect order or always have proper syntax- I'm throwing it out there for the world to see! Don't be afraid to throw your adlibs or info in either.

Re: Hyundai 420 clone build
I decided to run my fuel pump pulse from the carb spacer. I just happen to have had a nipple laying around. ( I'm a hoarder/scrounge) to use for this. 5/16" hole and red thread locker.
At this point is where I figured out why the throttle was binding and rough to operate-NO LUBE ON ANYTHING! The spacer nylon washers under the throttle lever were just thrown in there with no lube. I restacked them for non binding operation and lubed them with silicone grease. |

Re: Hyundai 420 clone build
After I got the fuel pump pulse nipple installed I noticed a major restriction caused by the carb gasket. Just carefully trim the excess that is outlined by the throat of the carb. Used a pencil to trace the carb throat if needed to keep from removing too much gasket material. You just want to unblock any restriction.
Hmmmm, the garb gasket material is made in the USA! Who could've guessed? |

Re: Hyundai 420 clone build
The engine had waaay too much fuel line installed that it was running uphill and was restricted above the carb. Fixed that.
Second pic is of the throttle pivot bolt after taking it apart, restacking the washers properly ,lube, install lever and red threadlocker on the threads of the bolt/nut. Operates perfectly now. |

Re: Hyundai 420 clone build
I wanted to be able to operate the choke easily and dependable. I drilled a hole in the lever for choke cable hookup later.
Had to lube before reinstall. I also trimmed the choke lever stop away for smooth operation after the breather assembly was reinstalled(next pics). |

Re: Hyundai 420 clone build
Choke stop was then removed for smooth operation with a cable.
Yellow hose is for the fuel pump pulse to be used later. |

Re: Hyundai 420 clone build
I decided to change the manual start housing clocking in case I needed to pull start the engine. That way if you had to pull start the engine it would be in a straight up motion.
