Help with motor

Shmitty · 03-31-2008, 01:42 AM

Hey everyone, this is my first post and I need some help!

I just purchased a used Club Car gas golf cart today pretty cheap, but after tearing into the motor, it looks like a rebuild kit isn't going to help this one.

Does anyone know where I can pick up a good used motor? I think it's the FE290 Kawasaki motor, but I'd have to verify.

I need something soon, or if anyone knows of a good alternative I'd really appreciate it.

This looks like the place to go for advice! Someone help!

Welcome! Where are you from I might have a few for sale but not interested in shipping.

I live in Moses Lake, Wa.

Will this clone bolt right to the factory mounts? Or do I need to modify it in anyway to make it work?

Thanks for all your help!

Contact Tom at cartpartsplus.com. He's one of out sponsors and can help you out. I would recomend his Big Block kit for your cart. Worth every penny.

Okay I've called Tom regarding the big block, but I really need something that isn't so big since my kids will be playing with it too.

Does anyone know where I can get a stock FE290 motor? Or can someone help me with possibly putting in one of these Clone motors? How hard is it to install? Do I need to do a lot of modifications? And where do I go to find one?

Someone on here has to know! HELP, HELP, HELP!!!!

Those stock CC motors are STEEP. I'd get a little 13 hp honda or something.

Shmitty · 04-01-2008, 08:13 PM

Yeah, but will it bolt right into the factory motor mounts? What do I have to do to get it to fit?

Also, where does one get one of these 13hp motors?

Yeah, but what is the name of the motor? I tried to do a search, but wasn't able to find anything. Any suggestions out there?

Also is there any fabricating I have to do?

HELP, HELP, HELP!!! I want to get this thing running!
