1985? marathon three wheel rear end question

1purpleranger

Hi new to the carting world I picked up what i believe is a 85 marathon. The electric motor is not responding and I'm thinking about a gas conversion, however all the conversions I've seen have a different rear end setup where the motor ismounted abive the pumpkin. Mine seems to have the motor orientated like a car. How does the motor connect to the rear end input? Is it possible to do a gas conversion on this cart? Does anyone have pics? Thanks hope to get my cart moving before the lake opens this year

tell a few things about it.Would be much easyer to repair what you have if the motor it's self is good.
Should be a resistor cart,simple and easy to fix and maintain.

Find a marathon gas rear axle for 88-94 4-stroke or a mid 80's thru 90' 2-stroke donor cart.

Almost all the electric parts have been scavenged over the years for someone else's carts.I've got basically a frame to work with,I have numerous gas engines laying around along with jackshafts from go karts. I'm just curious if anyone has done a conversion with this style of rear end
