At this time neither is up for sale. One is part way tore down, as it was when i bought the cart, motor was running but has broken flanges, good compression ect. The other is complet but in need of a total rebuild, I picked up this one at an EZGO dist in Cincinnati. If I can come up with a swap both will be up for grab's

I understand that, but why couldn't a 4 stroker could be run in reverse with only the starter generator doing the work. If you ground out the ignition at the fdw / rev selector so it wouldn't attempt to fire????

i dont believe thats possible since the 2 stroke motor
runs forward & reverse, not the rear end (unless you dont need reverse)

I know the 4 stroker will not run on its own in reverse....But the starter generator could be used for a reverse motor. As long as the ignition on the engine is grounded out so it would not fire.......
