An easy way to tell what motor is in my cart?
Hey everyone, my name is Chris and I am new to golf carts and to this fourm. Been wanting a cart for awhile now and just picked up a '91 gas club car, it needs work......alot of work as a matter of fact. I was wanting to know if there is a way to tell what motor I have as the only markings on it are the factory clubcar sticker. The place I got it from said they ran it low on oil and had there maintance guy tear it down and that just what he did......the motor was in a box. Also the rod has got some scuffing on it but the crank looks good, does anybody make bearings for these rods where I could have the crank turned/polished and then install like a 10 under bearing in a new rod. Thanks for any insight you can provide, this site has alot of useful information on it and I am looking forward to AnotherProject.

Is that the old flathead engine?
That cart was made to drop a bigger motor in |

Re: An easy way to tell what motor is in my cart?
1991 had the flat head engine or so they say as i have a 90 model CC and in 92 is when they changed to the ohv engine. The flat head engine is good, i had my doubts on mine but its good enough until I want to put a lift etc..... I would spend the money and put a big block engine but which one depends on your budget. How much did you get it for?

if the motor sits at a angle with a valve cover, its the fe290 0r 350 ohv engine. if the head is on top, its the flat head.

The 91 was the last year for the FZ340 (KF-82) flathead engine.

Re: An easy way to tell what motor is in my cart?
Got it for nada, nothing, zip, goose egg , Just had to haul it away. Was doing some work in a huge warehouse and was messing around with one of the warehouse big wigs when he pulled up in a cart and I said to him "hey where's my golf cart at". At the end of the day he comes up to me and asked if I really was looking for a golf cart and I said well sure if the price was right. So he takes me up to the third floor and says you want this one, and I asked how much and he says "I appericate all your hard work around here and the money your saving us, it's yours, free" yeah baby!
Some pics of the motor, I think you are right about it being a flathead. What kind of HP are we talking here and how fast will it shove this thing with 2 adults and my dog riding around. PICT0891.JPG PICT0892.JPG PICT0893.JPG PICT0894.JPG |

Re: An easy way to tell what motor is in my cart?
I dont think this engine has a low torque stock, but my gov or limiter is not working. I put a tiny tach on it and can rev it past 4000 rpms easy up to i dont recall. Has top end but seems to lack low end grunt compared to my 99 ohv engine or maybe its just me. If I have a non running cart like you and wanna budget build it, I would do a clone swap.
