Hi everyone, i just got a free Cushman/OMC powered industrial truck but it did not have an engine, but does have transaxle and all wiring. I also from the same person got a Robin Engine (model EH29C ...9 horsepower) complete with carb and exhaust and transaxle and skidplate motor mounts etc.
I know the engine is a bit small for the application as the truck weighs 1075lbs without anyone in it. Then only pieces I think I am missing to put all this together are a starter generator and brackets to mount starter generator and possibly the ignitor and the voltage regulator. I am going to pull off a few panels to see if the electronics are hidden somewhere on the cart.
Question: Could I use a conventional car starter modified with a pulley and my own brackets and an alternator on this just running off of a V-belt?
Ohh and where can I get a belt for the drive?
