Re: Homemade Workhorse?
RJC, I posted a pic in your other thread of my "stealth" headlight setup
As to the sheet metal, I would have to find and post a pic of my cart disassembled to show you how it is on the 88-up carts, let me look |

Re: Homemade Workhorse?
No not yet. Its on an auction, and the auctioneer that I called gave me a six digit s/n. It didn't work on the ezgo site, and i'm sure the s/n should be longer.
I told him to look under the passenger glove compartment. He must have wrote down the first number he found. Sorry, I know very little about ezgo carts. |

This one has the sideways drive. Do these have reverse? Does the motor run backwards like a Yamaha g1?

I don't think I'm going to buy it anymore, but I'm still curious about how the sideways drive on these works.
Here is the URL where it is at. http://www.vponlineauctions.com/cgi-...ponline12/13/9 |

Re: Homemade Workhorse?
OK, that pic cinched it - it's a 1988 (can't mistake that one-year-only muffler) standard cart (not a GXT800 - engine bay is all wrong for a GXT800, rails too short, etc) with an aftermarket dump box ... The drive on these is the same as with all 2PG-engined carts, the engine runs normally for forward and actually runs BACKWARDS when the cart is in reverse ...
Other than a few parts that are unique to the 88 models, these are pretty straightforward, reliable carts, as well as relatively easy to repair and/or maintain if you're handy with basic tools, etc. |

Re: Homemade Workhorse?
Here's a pic of my buddies GXT, note the longer rear section (also a dead giveaway is if there is a bagwell under the dump box - the GXT's box was attached directly to the frame and had nothing but open air under it) ...

Re: Homemade Workhorse?
How quickly do they switch from forward to reverse? It would be annoying to have a long delay with my extreme lack of patience of non-performance.
I'm assuming this is a two stroke then like a G1? The reverse rotation concept would not work well with the whole 4-stroke valve system. |
