Default 1989 marathon engine options

So what is the easiest option for a new engine for my cart? They don’t seem to have kits for my year for a predator motor. And what about reverse? Is that an option as sell? I could kick my own *** since my robins engine works. Just lost some hard to replace parts.

The easiest option is fix what you have, have you tried a wanted post in the carts and parts section?

and yes reverse is going to be a problem going from a 2 cycle to a 4 cycle... like no reverse.

If your cart is a 2 cycle you will not have reverse. You will need to swap your transaxle for a 4 cycle gas model ME29. Not easy to come by though.

Where are you located?
