1999 Club Car DS with a blown up FE290...what do I do with it?
I just bought a 99 club car ds with a blown motor...seriously there is a hole in the bottom of the block. Previous owner said he had it bored out by a local machine shop.
I eventually would like to maybe do some things to it however right now i just want to get it running as inexpensively as possible. I have too many projects including a ezgo electric that is a bigger project then this one. I would like to lift it and add a back seat...will an fe290 be strong enough to do that with? Should I try and find an fe350 or fe400? Anyone have one they want to sell? I guess im just not sure which way to tackle powering this cart so im looking for advice. Thanks |

Its right on the back corner of the block...like the whole corner of the clock is gone and i can prolly get 4 fingers in there lol. I dont think its fixable..i could be wrong though.

Hi Marty,
I see that you are from NY. Where abouts? The cart you are talking about, it isn't that blue one from CL, is it? |

Yeah he said he had someone else that was going to look at it if i didnt want it. I picked this one up as the ezgo electric one i have will take longer and more money to get running so i saw this gas one and figured i could get it running easier.
Do you have any idea of where i could find a motor for this thing around central ny? Or should I just keep watching ebay? Lol im not a small engine guy but theres a huge hole in the bottom corner of the block so im guessing im going to need to replace the whole engine. |

Your best bet would either be ebay or here (every once in a while something pops up) |
