Default crankshaft needed

Hi I have a 1978 ezgo. It has the robin motor with internal starter. I need the crank shaft for it. I still have the old crank all it needed was the rod. so I put a new rod on it. but now I cant get it realined properly. so if some one had one that was all done that would be great.

Internal-starter ones are rare.
A good crank guy can true yours up as long as you didn't tweak the cheeks.
Irondog 810-241-7101 does all the ones I don't have time for.

Take what you have to a machine shop! They'll get that thing aligned for a heck of a lot less than getting a new one.

If you have a manual take that too.

If you go to a machine shop, take the rods as well as the crank, so they can fit the rods to the crank. A machine shop that specializes in automotive work would have the specialized tooling for working on cranks and people who do this type of work every day.

Most automotive machine shops are not set up to do press-together cranks.

I twice went to a local NAPA that had a machine shop as part of its operations. Each time the dude there was able to do my crank work while I waited. Not sure where else you would go to get this work done.

If you have access to an engine lathe it is not too hard to align the crank.
