Post Replacing the FZ340 with FE400

Hi guys I want to know if I can directly swap in a Kawasaki FE400 in my 1990 Club car? My old FZ340 engine died and our local parts dealer told me that I can dump the car. I see that the FE400 is also counter-clockwise rotation, but will it swap directly?

No I don't believe it is a direct swap from what I've heard. There are differences. Someone else may be able to comment further.

if you have EVERYTHING from a donor cart, probably could be done. there is no parts interchange. also your forward will b reverse unless u swap out to a newer axle

the best choice in my opinion would be a briggs or clone transplant

As long as it's a counter clockwise motor the forward and reverse should be the same. As for the rest I'm sure it can be done but it may not be a direct bolt in.

The FE400 is not counter clockwise..... Atleast not in Club Car applications. It may be available elsewhere in a CCW setup.

rotation aside it is a direct swap except the exhaust. I have put one in my 2007 Precedent and it was completely painless.

I think the alternator bracket is a little different too. Wish I could find one to put in my pioneer 1200.

The original poster has a 1990 cart, which has a completely different motor platform (FZ340/KF82 flathead). KF82s were used in gas Club Cars through 1991. 1992+ gas DS carts and Precedents already have some kind of "FE" motor as their standard motor from the factory, so putting an FE400 in one is understandably easy.

If you consider parting out your old kf82 engine I am in need of an excitor coil. It sits behind the flywheel. Let me know I would definitely be interested in this hard to find part.

I have a KF82 that came out of my 1991 CC DS. It smoked a little a start-up. I replaced it with a clone motor. Doesn't include the clutch.
