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.

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!!!!

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...

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.
