Is it Seized? 2004 (G21-A) Swap or Possibly Fix?
I could use some help from the expertise of the forum.
I recently purchased a 2004 G21-A (G21AZ) with a JR6-122xxx motor that someone had run out of oil but the flywheel would spin and seemed to have compression. I added oil to the motor did a quick clean job to the carb and got the motor to fire. It ran rough for about a minute and quit. Now the flywheel is locked moving forward but I am able to rotate the flywheel clockwise. Do you think the motor completely seized? My plan when buying the cart was to drop in a JR3-030xxx motor I have from an old 2000 G20 I used to have. The engine footprint and electrical connections looks exactly the same but the displacements are different. Will it work to just do a straight swap? Will I need to modify any of the wiring for the older JR3 motor? I would like to salvage the existing motor if possible (I'm just hoping someone has a magic fix) but will probably just swap it out for the JR3. Either way not a bad buy for $400. See attached pictures. Thanks! |

It should be a direct swap. The oil light connection may be different.

Thanks Dave.
On a side note anybody know where I could get rear body panels for this cart (G21-A). |

No problem. Good luck on the body parts.

If It moves clockwise I doubt it is completely seized. Why not pull it out and take a look inside ?

Thanks Raydhd,
I was hoping someone had a magic solution... I pulled out the motor last night and will be pulling it apart soon. |

The "magic solution" was keeping oil in it in the first place.

Cgtech,
Aint' that the truth. As unlikely as it is, a man can still dream that a $400 buy off Craigslist may actually run. |

Re: Is it Seized? 2004 (G21-A) Swap or Possibly Fix?
I've bought several carts under $500 that ran with little to no work. Most recently a G2 I got for $200. Or an ezgo txt I got for $500. Or many others... Both of those carts I had running well with less than an hour of work. Personally, I find it disappointing thing when that happens. Kills all the fun in finding out what's wrong but I'm a little weird maybe
