monster ?

I just got off the phone with a friend of mine....I bought a 95 CC Carryall without engine. This is a perfect cart for the ranch and the construction site. I have been trolling craigslist for an engine. I came up with a 1986 Kawasaki 900cc complete minus altenator = free. Is this a good match up? Please try to answer the following Qs.
1. Can this motor work with the stock rear end?
2. Can this motor work without a shifter?
3. Is this too wild of a project for a novice?

am I reading this right, your wanting to put a engine off a z1-900 in a carryall? When the first z1-900s came out they were the fastest stock production bike made. I had one in 79 and it was no problem to run 140mph on it so you won't be lacking power.

Can this motor work with the stock rear end?
The older 900s were chain drive and if this one is also I believe you could make it work if run through a jackshaft setup to a clutch. would the rear handle the power? maybe for awhile if your not to hard on it. I would use for a 4 wheeler rear if I was doing this.
Can this motor work without a shifter?
I guess you could keep it in 1st gear but what fun would that be...
Is this too wild of a project for a novice?
Oh yeah... but what the hell....

Thanks for the info, Jon I didn't know what this motor was until I googled it and saw it developes 100 hp @ 9500 rpm. I think it would make a golf rocket I'm skeert already. I just need a vanny 18 or such...

Id pick up the engine anyway, never know when you might need it, think about that engine in a 4 wheeler, i think thats a little too much for something designed to go 15mph.

I never heard anyone complain about having too much pony power in a golf cart....yet.

I say go for it!! What's there to go wrong??

caddymankc

I guess your right,maybe it just because im still goin 12mph in my junkers.

Rodger's Rides

Caddy what you complaining about, at least your junkers run!!! You seen pics of mine! LOL

Scotty,

Free = WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??

Just because something can go 100 mph, doesn't mean you have to take it to that level. I, myself, would find it hard to resist the temptation, but I'm sure there are some who can

As far as being a novice, how else you gonna learn?? Like Nike says: Just Do It!!

Actually as of last evening no carts run, i hosed off the batts and either i roasted the micro switch or knocked a wire loose.I had to peddle over 100lbs of papers this morning. .
