Kohler engine swap questions

Giveitagallon · 02-17-2013, 03:27 PM

Great site you have here !
I picked up a ezgo golf cart last year for my 10 and 12 year old daughter .
I was going to just keep it close to stock but figured what the heck lets make it able to do some work in the woods to .
I just pulled the stock engine out and I picked up a 20 hp v twin kohler for it .
Please excuse my questions I'm sure they have been answered before .
I have not pulled the clutch off the stock engine which is a four stroke if that helps .
Question 1
Should I expect to be able to use the factory clutch on the kohler
Question 2
If the kohler will work , will it be a good setup for then to run in the woods ?
Thanks for any help or direction you guys can give me cause I kinda jump into this little build blind .

I'm sure the Kohler will give you all the torque/power you need to work with in the woods...I regretfully don't have an answer for you on your clutch questions, sorry. But again, as long as the Kohler is a horizontal shaft engine (which I assume it is) should work fine. Guys here are always throwing B/S Vangaurds in there machines with out issue. Kohler's not that much different, right? Dimensionaly speaking. What's the shaft size? Is it tapered or straight?
