Re: 2 stroke and 4 stroke differences / parts swapping
Any 12 volt battery will be perfectly fine. It doesnt take a whole lot of juice to spin the motor... it's all the lights, radio, etc. People add that make upgrading the battery. It would be perfectly fine with a lawnmower battery to be honest. Probably never have a problem. I have 1 with a lawnmower battery, 1 with a big car battery, and one with a napa special service battery. All of them work perfectly fine.
Fit the best one you can and go with it :) if it wont be used daily or near daily like mine, may be worth looking into an Optima or something similar. I believe interstate owns or distributes Optima. Theyll take some abuse! |

It's a golf cart. That's exactly what it was designed to do. The pdf is the specifications page for an 88. It has the battery type. I used a group 27 in mine. There are battery group pages out there that give dimensions and post locations. |

Re: 2 stroke and 4 stroke differences / parts swapping
I see the bp5hs in both the 88, and 85 manuals. I can't find one for the 3pg. I honestly don't think it matters. golfcartking.com lists them both for all 2 strokes.

does anybody have a motor oil preference? I have a good amount of stihl orange bottle 2 stroke laying around from landscaping stuff. was hoping to use some of that up. I plan on eliminating the oil injection and just pre mixing the fuel. From searching the forum I am reading that I want to do a 40:1 or approx 3 oz oil / 1 gal of fuel for the first tank after a fresh rebuild, and then 128:1 oil / gas after that. I am also generally reading that I can run anything from Walmart 2 cycle oil to expensive synthetic stuff. I personally don't care, I just don't want to fould plugs, blow a bunch of oil out my exhaust, or blow up my motor |

Re: 2 stroke and 4 stroke differences / parts swapping
Mix any 2 stroke oil at 128:1 (1 ounce of oil per gallon of gas). Plug the banjo fitting to make sure it's airtight, and then forget about it.
I cruise slow, and sometimes I run wide open. The cart is governed at 12mph. Most people get rid of the governor to run around 18mph. Slow won't hurt it. Since yours is a 3pg, I can't show you any pictures of setting up the throttle linkage. |
