electric to gas golf cart of death

Engine was free in a trade, frame was free, all the other stuff I had lying around from misc projects.

8hp briggs engine with heavy duty cinti clutch from northern tools ~80$ a few years ago.

the clubcar had a yamaha transaxle in it that was in pretty good shape from what I could see. I welded a 12 tooth sprocket to the input shaft of the transaxle from the back "drilled a 1.25 hole in the housing to see through while I welded it, to ensure a good weld"


Not pictured: i cut a 1/2" gap on the top of the gearbox housing to keep the chain from hitting the aluminum housing where the previous electric motor was mounted.

@SmoothSailor15 not to be a douchebag or anything but... READ THE FUCKING COMMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

the first set of comments on the top are posted from me, and you will find in the info "had you bother to read any of it" a full list of links to pics of the build along with the information your looking for.

how about doing your part and read the info section of the video or use google....

[foxxentertainmentvid]

also what size chain and sprocket did you use on the engine and drive train

P.S. thanks you have helped me out allot and I will make a video response for this video

[hvguy]

@foxxentertainmentvid err, i think I used a #40 chain "typical go cart chain" and i believe the driven gear was a 10 tooth? and im not too sure on the clutch...

[TheAssassin111]

a question for you, do normal gas golf carts actually have a transmission or does the starter generator just start the engine in the opposite direction?

[MrSk889]

@hvguy i did the same thing with a golfcart but with a 10.5 and a belt clutch going to a jackshaft u need that if u want to put shock on ur axle

[spykeeable]

I did the same but i made a bracket were the batteries were and put the engine there. The chain dosnt pop off and you keep your suspension. Add a small sprocket to the back because the gearing from the axle is low. So to get speed you need smaller one. Ill post a video soon how to convert electric to gas. Nice job!!
