jeepwm69 7,751 Posted June 6, 2023 I have two golf carts that I wish I could do this with. Both are 36V and golf cart batteries are high as giraffe butt these days. The worst part is, I can put new batteries on them, and they'll be bad in 5-6 years whether or not I use them at all. I put new batteries on one of them in 2017. Then wife got preggers, haven't used that cart but a couple of times since she got pregnant. I'll be lucky if those batteries will last this summer, even though I haven't used them (I have kept them topped off on the charger). At least with gas engines, they can sit for years and still work when you want them to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,147 Posted June 6, 2023 Don’t like how low ya boy has his engine sitting in his build. Looking to do something different I got the clutch off with the oil trick from the video above. 9/16 fine thread bolt fit in the first hole of the clutch. The deeper hole 7/16 fine thread held the clutch on. Taper Adaptor is ordered from eBay for $10 need to get a 3/8 fine to read bolt 5 inches long to hold the clutch on. Read where some people drill the crank and tap it to 7/16. But other say it is strong enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,147 Posted June 8, 2023 I was looking over the kit that Vegas Carts makes to do this conversion , they want $199 for the plate , but it looks like you have to buy another $159 piece for it to work https://vegascarts.com/collections/ezgo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
