New Engine

gkckak · 09-09-2009, 08:23 PM

My buddy got an ezgo st sport II. He wants to know if a 14hp b &s would work for it. I guessed yeah I think he could change the motors. Im not sure though. Any help would be appreciated

If you are going through the trouble of changing the motors, go for a big one. I think that cart has 11hp stock, I would need to verify that, but all that work for 3 hp? If he has one already, I could understand. Be sure the rotation is the same and a clutch will fit the crankshaft.
If he plans to buy the motor and then fab the mounts and all, he may want to just buy a motor upgrade kit. It has the cables and mounts, exhaust already made and is basiclly a bolt on kit. Our sponsors have those in several size engines.

No he already has the engine. Also for some reason aint a fan of the kawasaki engines. He just wanted to know if the engine was capable of being hooked up with the ezgo and what not.

Nuthin wrong with the Kawasaki engine ..... 3 hp is not worth the effort IMHO. You will have to rework the ignition, charging, throttle, air cleaner, exhaust, the clutch, belt and engine mount

are you folks aware of the kawa 16 hp carbureated likes to make oil in the crankcase. I got four of them in my greens mowers if I had any say in the choice of engines I would use it as a boat anchor.

I don't think any of us have golf carts with 16 hp greens mower engines in them. That's a crazy comparison

If ya make enough oil in there, can you bottle it up and resale it?

dirtysouth · 09-11-2009, 10:39 PM

I'm thinkin' the thing is gassin' the oil... Makin' oil in the crank case.
