Hello, Got this 87 ez go,Looks like a marathon.I am used to working on motorcycle motors all the time but this cart has me lost.
Can someone point me to where i can read up about these motors?All the ones i see on here have actual starter motors that are belt driven but mine doesnt,It seems to have a big a$$ magneddo that acts as a starter?? Never seen anything like that before.

they made an engine that had an internal start/gen way back when. I'm not sure of the years but I was thinking in the 70's. I cant tell if yours is one of them but that's what I would guess it is. you could pm ezgomike, he would know if it's one.

Found this:

-In 1976 the so-called '2pg'--a 244cc, Fuji Heavy Industries/Robin Engine--with an internal starter generator (st/gen), became standard. Repair parts are still available except for the crankshaft assembly, the voltage regulator/starter relay and the internal st/gen stator & field.

Sounds like what i have.Well this sucks the big one.The rest of the cart is a 87. So now what do i do?I have little interest in messing with this old of a motor that i cant even get parts for.

looks like a good candidate for a big block(if you don't mind losing reverse).You could also try and find a 4 stroke rear axle.Good luck,Richie
