Re: Planning Engine Swap
Not sure what you mean by "runs all the time". If you use the electric starter on the engine it will start and run like a car, turn the keys and start it, turn the key off and it stops running. You can, however, use your starter/gen with a big block engine.

I have a 2013 TXT that I stretched to a 6 seater and plan was 670HF but they are so expensive now and hard to find used; will a smaller twin help my low end? I have 25" tires, 6" lift, etc...so cart is heavy but will run 28-30 on flat ground with just me but load 6 people coolers etc and it will barely hit 20 and forget about making it up a hill. Have GBoost springs, buttons, and HD belt so I have done everything I can for the Kawasaki but spending a grand for a 670 isn't in the cards right now. |

For the money, the HF670 is still the king of power/torque. Add a cam, rev kit, and Mikuni carb and that baby has some power. I've heard around 35-40 hp is possible without too much trouble. |
