How to start a Big Block?
Hey guy's, lately I've been thinking of doing the big block swap, but I was wondering if you can still set it up to start with the foot pedal? I really like the convenience of this feature, has any one done this? and if so how? I have an 05 CCDS

Re: How to start a Big Block?
I say no, it's not possible. or recommended. The starter uses a return spring key switch. If you wired it to the pedal, I don't see how you stop the starter from spinning once the motor starts...

Re: How to start a Big Block?
Could you fab up some brackets and run the cart starter/generator and belt?
Assuming you could use a clutch with the pulley. |

Re: How to start a Big Block?
I have a clutch on my bb with a pulley so I could do this but mostly for use of the starter gen to charge another battery. If I knew how to wire it I would try

Re: How to start a Big Block?
It can be done if you use a starter/generator. I have had a couple customers do it. Big thing is finding the space. The EZGO ST480 used a Vanguard with a starter generator. Would give you a preview how it was done.

Re: How to start a Big Block?
Some guy that wanted to buy my cart wanted to do this. I think he called Tom and decided it was too much for him to manage. He wanted to use my cart for golf though which I didn't much care for. The guy that finally bought it uses it to pull his drag car to the start line. Much better choice for my cart.

Re: How to start a Big Block?
Yeah it was golfers who did the mods to change starters to our Vanguard kits, Sounds like a waste of some awesome HP to drive it on a golf coarse.
I bet one trip down the fairway at 40 MPH would get you un-invited from the country club. Never done it, Maybe someday. Seems like if you hit something with a CLUB and it dosen't get back up. Why chase it down and club it again.  |
