82 ez go Duromax 18hp swap/rearend shutter and shake

Nothingworksright · 01-25-2021, 10:00 PM

82. Lifted cart on air bags.
I recently had a new engine and clutch installed by an atv mechanic in his garage. When I got it back there were no issues. But, over the past month It has gotten worse. when I step on the gas the rearend has a really bad shake or chatter. My thought is maybe the clutch is in need of adjustment. I’m not sure how or what to adjust with this being my first cart. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’d take it back to the mechanic if he would answer my call or text.

take a look at the clutch, that is connected to the axle, a couple of things could cause that shutter, if the clutch is not opening and closing properly, you can definitely get shutter from that way. you could also be, that your clutch belt is too tight, while the engine is not running, lift the seat and take a look at your clutch belt, if there is no play in the belt, it could be that your clutch is not opening correctly.

Did you replace both clutches? New belt? What clutches are you using? Is the engine hard mounted or are there rubber mounts?
