Rogue_Alphonse Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 which originally came with just 12 horsepowers. For those dirtbike/ATV/snowmobile/two-stroke gurus, I went from a 230cc low compression single-cylinder engine to a 540cc high compression twin-cylinder engine. The engine came from a snowmobile capable of about 90mph flat-out. My golf cart did a whopping 26. Engine bolted to the golf cart's swingarm section of frame: Stupid Canadians trying to get hurt by a 90mph SRV 540...: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAC Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Cool. Is there much of a weight difference in the engines? Will the swing arm need reinforced any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue_Alphonse Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Cool. Is there much of a weight difference in the engines? Will the swing arm need reinforced any? I think the 540 weighs about 80 pounds and the original engine weighed about 50... nothing major enough for me to worry about. if bolts break or start coming loose, then I'll have a buddy of mine weld up the mounting brackets and some support braces on it. I'd weld it up, but my welding is NOT very good looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinko Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Not for nothin' but I think it's just "horsepower." I'm almost certain you don't pluralize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue_Alphonse Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 is it gonna go fast? Considering many maths involved with ratios that the snowmobile had and the golf cart has, I'd say it'll probably do a hefty 70 miles an hour. > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
