Re: Powermax engine (Charge system)
Oh I get it, a Chinese's Honda clone, to put one of those in a txt you'd need a engine cradle, new drive clutch, longer belt, and some misc. parts i'm not sure of. probably about $500 worth of stuff on top of the engine cost, not including shipping of course. There's a few threads about those in the big block section but I haven't looked at them. I wouldn't want one of those cause I doubt theres much for support or parts on them. kinda like those $500 Chinese's ATVs, use it for a few hours then they break and you throw them away or mount them on big coil springs in the backyard so the kids can pretend they're out riding.

Re: Powermax engine (Charge system)
Yes they have a charging system. I have a 16 hp Powermax and actually you get a whole booklet with breakdowns, wiring diagrams, part no., troubleshooting etc. I have only put 5 hrs. on mine but there are alot of us with these. Oh and not everyone can afford BIG BLOCKS!!!!

Re: Powermax engine (Charge system)
how much including the engine to you have in your swap? i have an 1997 ez-go txt... motor seems tired will be doing the compression test later this week... so need to decide if i can get away with pistons or should a new motor come into play? just trying to get a feel from someone who has recently done this...

Re: Powermax engine (Charge system)
I would say an easy $800 by the time you buy clutch and belt, engine, and all the other misc. I didn't have to have an engine cradle in my club car. Just a few minor mods and it worked. Not sure what those cost.
