Old Marathon Rebuild Project

gonoles13 · 01-17-2013, 04:04 PM

I received a old EZGO Marathon and got it running but the rings must have been bad because there was a big puff of smoke and then it stopped running. I am going to pull the engine this weekend and was wondering can you put a different motor in without changing the axle? It is a EC-25 244CC 2 cycle.

I may just replace the piston for now but wanted to get all of your expert advice.

Thanks for your help.
