Ez-Go Marathon Vanguard 14hp V-Twin Build

[nhoffman94]

Im in the middle of a ez-go marathon engine swap. So far i have cut out the original 2 stroke axle, welded the stock mounts to a 84-96 club car rear axle, at least i think its a 84-96 axle, the axle is now in, and the rear fenders have been cut off from the seat back. I am putting a Vanguard 14 hp V-Twin engine in it, which i just got 2 days ago. I will also be building a Bed for it, as well as lifting it 4 inches, and building a cab.
Any suggestions on clutches, and whether or not the axle is a 84-96 or a 97 and up, i am having a hard time finding it out. This will be a budget build, so i am trying to keep the clutch under 300 bucks including the cpp adapter if i need it or not. I got the motor for 400, and its basically brand new. I will post some pics up very quickly

That picture didn't work. You can use the factory ezgo clutch it will work depending on how worn out it is really is the key factor..

Yes, the interesting thing about this cart though is that i bought it with a snowmobile engine in it. Very fast, but not very practical in this cart. That clutch is to big for the club car driven clutch. I am now creating a photobucket with all the pics in it

Here is the beginning of the pictures, showing what it looked like when a first picked it up, and with the snowmobile engine in it.

More pics, this is including the new club car axle i put in, as well as what i did with the rear fenders to make room for a bed

More pictures. These include the new rear end, fender chop, and new motor

anyone know how to set up the throttle on these things. It seems like there is very little travel. Mine still has the governor, but actual piece it attaches to on the carb is very small, and cant really move too much. Ill try to get some pics up tonight.

Am I looking at this wrong or is the rear axle input on the wrong side for the Vanguard?? I'm building a 14 HP Vanguard Marathon right now too and the EZGO gasser rear axle driven clutch is on the left/drivers side of the vehicle?????????
