Default Another Possible Project

00h0h_1hiSeaxKv1D_600x450.jpg

Found this 87 gas EzGo (non-running) locally for $100.
Was wondering if this would be a good platform for a new build?

Nope.
Unless you have another 4-stroke rear end laying around.

Or you don't want reverse!

Or you are will to go back with the original 2 stroke engine, then $100 is good if everything else is good.

So this EzGo is like my G1 where the engine runs in reverse to give you reverse?

That's what I am hearing from Skoal, I don't know.

Does the rear end have a shifter? If not its a 2 stroke rear.

I just rebuilt an 86 marathon. Bought a complete engine rebuild kit for around $300. Put a new driven clutch on it as well. I think it would be a great build if the body is sound. you can get the trim pieces but not a new body.

If, original, that is newer than 87.

You're correct I didn't catch the front cowl.
But it looks like it has the older style front axle.
Which year did they change the axle so it is supported on top and bottom of the kingpin?

I will try to get out to look at it today or tomorrow. If the rear axle doesn't have reverse I probably will pass on it. Don't get me wrong I love my Yamaha G1 I just prefer more options when building a cart.
