Re: Rebuild or buy reconditioned
use the puller. fill the hole with grease, insert puller and start threads, use impact wrench and drive the puller in. It will pop off

From reading this thread I am guessing this motor is a 4 stroke and probably has a pressurized oil system. Someone said there are no crank bearings and no way to refinish the crank. Well, there is a work around for that, but you could buy a new cart with what it would cost! LOL! If you have a broken rod, I would really want to see what the inside of that motor looks like. There could be collateral damage. For that reason alone I would be glad to get a replacement motor (after inspecting for damage). If this is common for that motor, I would be looking at getting a different motor. I don't know if a "big block" would work in that cart or not, but I would really not be happy with a motor that broke a rod and is known for braking rods. Just my thoughts. Of course, the use you put it through would really determine if it would be good to stick with that motor, or select something more bullet proof. Tom |

Re: Rebuild or buy reconditioned
What typically happens is the con rod cap bolts loosen up over time and once they fail the rod breaks. Occasionally it will slap the aluminum block and crack it as that was the case with mine. Took it to a buddy and he tigged the crack which solved that problem. The have a pressurized oil system. The rebuild was fairly straight forward and the book walks you through it if you have reasonable mechanical skills. Including machine work (removing a broken bolt, dressing up the cylinders, etc.) I have about 400 bucks in the rebuild not including my time. A rebuilt 400ish cc from CT would be easy to drop in and they are fairly reputable in this circle of cart freaks LOL. There are several other drop in solutions available from other site sponsors as well.
