re: 88 freebie!!
I should have said "exhaust and carburetor are 88 specific." The choke setup on the BV24 carb (pulls from the front instead of from a bracket bolted between carb and intake like on the BV18 ) and the 90° inlet on the muffler top are dead giveaways for the HO 1988 setup.

Yes, the muffler is the give-away.

re: 88 freebie!!
Yep, muffler is the best "quick glance" way to tell.
And I could help you "scrap" it, Don. I'm closer to him. Worth fixing is determined by the user, but that said I sure would. 88 was a good year for Marathons and the 2pg engine that year had a 24 mm carburetor (vs. 18 on the others) and a high performance exhaust. They're peppy little carts. |

Here's a little info on the 88 model year specifically: http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/gas-e...le-issues.html Lots of good info in there because I covered just about everything in my search to find why that cart ran poorly. |
