I have a club car golf cart with a predator 420 swapped in. I used the old throttle box that was near the engine to tie in the new linkage for the throttle so the foot pedal still works. The only issue i ever had with this swap was trying to get the fuel pump to work properly to pull fuel to the engine. it seemed like after 30min of running, it would loose vacuum and stop pulling fuel. I swapped to a gravity fed fuel tank and had no more issues. I want to go back to a fuel tank under the seat at some point and back to using a fuel pump. I will be watching the progress of your build to see how you address the fuel system. Also, the original clutch on the original engine will not work. Golf cart engines use a taper shaft.
Poor John, always made fun of, and always made to work LOL. Love ya buddy. Does John even know about the Chipmunks LOL...unless he's watched any of the shows, I don't think he's been around long enough to know of them LOL. I don't think it'll be much longer before John is doing most of this stuff on his own. How are those Skil tools holding up for you? One of the stores in town has brought in a bunch of the Skil cordless stuff...seems like between Skil and Ryobi they'd be good homeowner tools to have around.
The grinders are awesome! But the 1/2 impact and the hex are both junk. The drills love to catch fire with out warning. Both saws I like and use constantly.
Possibly should have kept some of the original throttle controls. It may save you time later on. Also, you can get that ignition switch console out without cutting it or dropping your steering column, I've done it lots of times. Lastly, 6 or 8 bolts, the entire engine cradle drops out, that holds the engine and transaxle.
I am restoring an engine. (It’s just a clone 196cc) and noticed that it has aluminum push rods. I think I would rather have steel pushrods in it though. I have a spare clone 163cc that has steel pushrods. The aluminum rods are 0.0035 shorter than the steel rods. Would it be ok for me to swap them? Is that a big enough difference to warrant not swapping or will this difference not be a problem? Thanks for any help.

Once it's up and running well, John needs a serious harness to keep behind the wheel while he's drifting the driveway ;)

nice job, I wonder if that bar on the transmission is a vehicle speed governor based in the transmission.
