Default ouch...

Not exactly sure what happened yet, but catastrophic damage has occurred.

At CAW, I thought I had just blown an engine case gasket. After I got home and got to looking at it I noticed a small crack in the top of the block. I snuggled down the 2 bolts that came loose on the engine case, fired up the cart and putted around the yard for maybe a minute and the motor started making a terrible racket. Lifted the seat to find that the small crack had gotten much larger. I thumped the gas just a little and then the cylinder seperated from the block as you can see in the picture. DAMNITMAN.....

So, gotta find a motor for this thing now. Can't stand seeing it sit after all the work I put into it to get it lifted and new tires and wheels.

yeah, was is right ..... unless you are a pot metal magic maker.
Looks like it beat itself to death.
Keep your eye on CL, I got lucky when I built my Ezgo I found a like new Subaru 720 with a bad ignition for $300. And eBay Comet clutch for $60
The deals are out there if you search long enough

Sorry that happened, sometimes even the most robust little engines just give up.
