I watched both your videos on the golf cart. I have a 1973 Model D3. Yours is a 1970, from the serial number "HO" at the end. I didn't notice anyone giving you all the info in one spot so, I'll put it here for you if you're still playing around with it. The engine's 245cc and it runs in both directions. The directional lever switches the polarity of the starter/generator, running the engine whichever direction is selected on the lever. The cart weighs in at 694lbs. My '72 FLH motorcycle weighs 777, fully dressed as a comparison. Top speed is 10-15 mph. It is a golf cart, after all. As for lubrication, the most popular oil people are using these days in them is TCW-3 (that's a marine 2-stroke oil) at an 85:1 ratio (1-1/2 oz/gallon) into regular octane. I use ethanol-free premium in mine (actually, I use that fuel in all my small engines) for the sake of the carb because corn-laced gas just ruins everything it touches. Your cart looks pretty nice. There are a lot of places in the Internet where you can pick-up all the goodies to fully-accessorize your cart and make it into a real head-turner. Do an image search for your cart and see what others have done and have fun. Oh, one more thing; The starter/generator belt is a special order that you won't find in your local parts store. In fact, those belts spend more time flying off than not and the right belt isn't that expensive. I did notice someone advised you to jack it up when running in your shop. Good advice. Centrifugal clutches will surprise you if you're not ready for them.
I used to have one of these as a kid. It was speed limited going forward but not in reverse. I'd do reverse stoppies on it all the time, one time I almost flipped the thing over backwards doing it too hard! It's was a blast and I rode it on 2 wheels more than 3.
these golf carts are street legal in many cities and towns. = very popular especially being a Harley. Great for work around the house/farm also. Electric preferred now, but still very cool and useable for many things.
I just bought a 1977 harley cart I am a. Woman and this video was so helpful as far as seeing how everything works. I don't feel so intimidated anymore. Thanks for the link. And anything else you can show on repairs and links I would appreciate. Now I am really stoked about my project.😊
i love when you bring stuff like this. Cleaning the carb and changing the belts might change the perforformance and make it a little faster , other than that you did a great job. Nice find can't wait for the next one
All Harley's 2 stroke stuff from back when AMF owned them was from a company called Aeromacchi in Italy, which at the time was a subsidiary of AMF, who also made Bowling Balls, and other Sporting Goods obviously Harley Davidson Motorcycles...and Golf Carts.
@@lifeononeweel3008 because I used to make riding videos and two stroke repair videos, but stopped riding due to injuries. And making the repair videos was too time consuming for not enough viewers who appreciated what I was doing. I would thoroughly make videos showing every step and how to diagnose the problem properly, leak down test the engines before and after, tear down different carbs, suspenion, and so on. I still got a lot of my videos uploaded but have them set to private so it shows none.
A lot of people are of the opinion that the quality of Harley Davidsons went WAY downhill is because of it's acquisition by AMF, who was more noted for their Sporting Goods Equipment, or more specifically Bowling Balls. Which is not to say an AMF Harley ANYTHING is worth mucho donero to a collector nowadays, especially if it still by some miracle runs. They (Harley Davidson) even fielded a Motocross team with bikes built by Aeromacchi in Italy, Jimmy Ellis and Marty Tripes being the notable riders, who I believe both later went to Honda, and they even won a few things on the National Circuit despite lackluster performance of the bikes...
That thing is really cool. It would be well worth restoring it correctly. Get that exhaust all tightened up or replaced. It's a lot louder than any I have seen. Very cool though. Was good to see Jade.
was awesome to see your lady in the video! I personally find it adds something heartwarming to see. She is adorable man! Would love to see you two riding around together in more videos! Absolutely love your videos man!
Nice to see Jade :) Dressed kinda warm lol. Golf cart look's good another great job. I would put all wheel's up in air and see if brake or rearend dragging a bit will cause belt to get smoked
It looks awesome the 3 wheel center steer looks great one of the first motorized vehicles I ever drove as a young boy was one of those just not HD one of the golf cart brands but it was around the same year
Got a good 8 in of snow this morning and was ripping around on one of my beater sleds"85 yamaha phazer" and about run out of gas and thought I was stranded but there was enough in the bowl to make it home.
This was a fun video , I use to repair those back in the day when I worked at a golf course repair shop , brought back memories . Neat to see it running . Those were a huge POS , not reliable for any golf course.
Did ya think about getting new head bolts, or is it ok to reuse em..cause i know on some golf carts its ok and others after you tork em thats it..just curious dude..
I believe it’s the crank seal…when you have to start with choke when motor is already hot. That’s the issue with the ‘67 I’m about to restore. From all I’ve read you’ve got to split the case. The air mixture gets off around the seal so It’ll start hard and sputter out at speed. Hope to see a follow up video part 3 ✌️
245cc 13hp 2 stroke about 1971 or72 check both torque converters and belt it seems to be slipping mine is way faster will burn the tires on wet pavement
Ya that should go allot faster you need to adjust that belt or replace fur sure something is not wright, ive fixed quite a few of these please do a follow up video on belt replacent I would also check maybe brakes as well .
That's a awesome base for a full tear down upgrade to a hybrid or a different engine instal. I mean new paint differential wheels lights body and frame. Would that be something you would do to a vehicle? Instead of minimal fix up and flip? I've seen some awesome cars totally stripped everything upgraded
@@2vintage that's not exactly what I mean for this one altho would be crazy and a one of a kind lol but if u was to totally make this like new is the profit worth what you would have to put into it? Are they very rare and have followers or collectors?
So I have an 83 harley / parcar it's was running. I put a new carb on it cause it was fouling plugs but then lost spark. What would you recommend checking. Or would you like to look at it for content purposes. I am from cedar rapids iowa. Not sure what part of Wisconsin you are from. Idk if you read these old comments or not. I just don't know where to start looking. It was my dad's and he passed away and I ended up with it. It's probably something very simple lol
It should be worth quite a bit more with it running now great video must have a Magneto system charging the battery might want to check the rear end gear oil pretty cool.
My dad bought one of these last years. Got it running but not it's dead again. I'm watching your videos to try and figure out why its dead (because I'm not a mechanic).
I actually wouldn't go as far as to say never. They're making electric bikes now and it seems like with the surging popularity of golf carts there isn't much reason for them not to slap an H-D logo on some carts again. Hope you're right though because I have one of these lol
@@Scott-km6rs you’re clearly just as clueless as Joe if you think what I said was wrong mate. Pip pip cheerio and put another shrimp on the barby before a dingo eats your baby
@@adrianb9081 well I don’t assemble motors without assembly lube and I clean everything before I rebuild it and don’t blow motors up immediately after rebuilding them nor do I shift into 7th and 8th gear or neutral drop constantly. Sorry I’m not clueless like this kid

Might be worth taking the clutch apart and cleaning, inspecting ... new belts and "adjust" the governor will make it sweet(er) ... nice find!
Dude haven't you watch this channel before he doesn't clean things.
@@jmudd5449 be nice .... you know you watch every vid .... it aint gotta be pretty, its just gotta be
Never seen one of these before, cool .
Wrap it in a cool graphic, 2_vintage graphic
these golf carts are street legal in many cities and towns. = very popular especially being a Harley. Great for work around the house/farm also. Electric preferred now, but still very cool and useable for many things.
Why electric preferred? Seems like working around a farm you'd 100% want gas.

That cart would be a great addition to any California golf course. 😉🤣🤭

Very cool video, glad to see such a fine looking machine running and driving again.
*Haha cool machine. Bet your neighbors was like WTF as you drove up and down the street. Great find. Thank for the great content*
It’s like mandatory to like your vid’s can’t watch a video without a like 😉. Luv the vidz can’t wait for top speed run!!
Some see this as mechanics, I see this as miracle work! Much respect! 🔥💪
You found the kit because it’s a Harley. The support for Harley products is amazing.
Yeah it was the only kit available
Definitely rare find. Glad you got it running.
I just picked up one of these from my neighbor for $50 and now I'm trying to get it running. Thanks for the video.
Love when jade makes it in a video. Awesome work on the cart brotha
Nice to see Jade :) Dressed kinda warm lol. Golf cart look's good another great job. I would put all wheel's up in air and see if brake or rearend dragging a bit will cause belt to get smoked
My grandpa had one at his retirement community/ golf course. He drove it every day.⛳️⛳️⛳️🛺🛺🛺
hAHA has all the smoke, noise and power of my 49cc moped XD Good find
It looks awesome the 3 wheel center steer looks great one of the first motorized vehicles I ever drove as a young boy was one of those just not HD one of the golf cart brands but it was around the same year
You’ve got that workshop looking great, very much more organised and clean, great work 👍
That's definitely the AMG days when Harley wasn't Harley..great job on preserving history..
Got a good 8 in of snow this morning and was ripping around on one of my beater sleds"85 yamaha phazer" and about run out of gas and thought I was stranded but there was enough in the bowl to make it home.
I wish we had 8 inches of snow here
Neutral my boy Neutral lol
The best formula is take the broken, showcase the skills and address all the stages, make it a runner. It's time well spent!
Wouldn't it be fun driving that thing on the golf course lol 😆 I'm sure you would be well loved 🤥
Good job Joe, anything with a Harley Davidson logo on it is worth money.
we used to call those hub caps on that cart, Baby Moons. and i think top speed on that is around 8-15 mph. my neighbor had one.
They do look like moons lol. And yeah they aren't very fast
OMG ROFLMAO i couldn't help to LOL when you pulled her out . TOO FUNNY!
That thing is all at once hideous, weird AND a neat project for your channel! 😁
Neighbors be like...hey that's a strange looking quad!
This was a fun video , I use to repair those back in the day when I worked at a golf course repair shop , brought back memories . Neat to see it running . Those were a huge POS , not reliable for any golf course.
Your neighbours must absolutely adore you 😂😂😂😂
Oh they do lol
@@2vintage 😂😂 can just imagine what they envision in their head when they hear another engine starting up 😂😂😂
If I remember correctly, it’s 245cc actual that they called a 250
Great video. Looking forward to the one on that little Honda NA50 I see in the garage.
One of the coolest videos so far love the content 🔥
Thanks for watching!
Wonder if it needs some work/cleaning on the clutch/torque converter
ah yea, you mention that, nice
Worth fixing up golf carts have a good resale value mainly one branded HD
freaking best one handed un-boxer ever lol 😂
Hahaha I tried
I bet the neighbors will love that thing!
They already do lol
Break in? Carb adjustment and clean? Guess not
Did ya think about getting new head bolts, or is it ok to reuse em..cause i know on some golf carts its ok and others after you tork em thats it..just curious dude..
Awesome! Fun different project.
Jack up the rear end and see if the cvt spools out correctly
Love that red predator 500 so happy I bought that from you
It will fly when you get the clutch figured out and the carb they are pretty fast
I believe it’s the crank seal…when you have to start with choke when motor is already hot.
That’s the issue with the ‘67 I’m about to restore. From all I’ve read you’ve got to split the case. The air mixture gets off around the seal so It’ll start hard and sputter out at speed.
Hope to see a follow up video part 3 ✌️
Ur shop is looking great! Keep up the good work
Your spark plug looks a little short in the video it takes a 3/4 reach washer type plug
245cc 13hp 2 stroke about 1971 or72 check both torque converters and belt it seems to be slipping mine is way faster will burn the tires on wet pavement
I'd love to pull up to the greens on that thing . You'd be real popular.
hahaha
"Ohh...it smells"
"Wanna go for a ride?"
Hahaha
Hey question what the gas and oil ratio please mine has a plastic gas container so if you could share please lmk 🙏
32:1 Ratio
Needs a new belt very rare try and keep it i would
It looks n sounds like the belts slipping. Maybe needs a new clutch or just a rebuilt for the clutch
Did you check the ring gaps?
Always good practice...
😁👍
Did he leave that old fuel filter on and old fuel line?
Good work ethics though, thanks for all the entertainment this year.
may be the belt is slipping because its old and hard possibly? Its burning the belt because it is slipping might be the bad smell?
Love your channel. I'm always impressed by your rebuild skills...
Ya that should go allot faster you need to adjust that belt or replace fur sure something is not wright, ive fixed quite a few of these please do a follow up video on belt replacent I would also check maybe brakes as well .
I will try to do that.
Is the body steel or fiberglass originally?
I can hear the neighbors them damn kids playing around with that junk again
That's a awesome base for a full tear down upgrade to a hybrid or a different engine instal. I mean new paint differential wheels lights body and frame. Would that be something you would do to a vehicle? Instead of minimal fix up and flip? I've seen some awesome cars totally stripped everything upgraded
I think keeping this one original is the way to go. In too good of shape to swap engines.
@@2vintage that's not exactly what I mean for this one altho would be crazy and a one of a kind lol but if u was to totally make this like new is the profit worth what you would have to put into it? Are they very rare and have followers or collectors?
I'm just glad your ok after a neck snapping wickedly powerful ride like that at the end! :P
Hahaha
Typical Harley, loud pipes save lives😆. imagine rolling into the country club with it🤣
Yeah it's a little loud
cool im glad you did the speed limit good job from Australia
Keep doing the videos bro!

“Yeah I have a Harley…”
Cool golf cart. Just curious, what do you do for a living?
Does anyone know what Joe does for a regular job?
My guess is he has an office job.
I think he said at some point he was a mechanical engineer or something.
Those generator starters are so much cooler than the ones that are used nowadays
That's the golf cart that Ernest had in Ernest goes to camp.
It should be worth quite a bit more with it running now great video must have a Magneto system charging the battery might want to check the rear end gear oil pretty cool.
The starter motor is also the generator charging the battery
I knew you would have it running
I love the videos. But your neighbors must hate you. That sounds sooooo loud! Lol. Keep them coming.
It was a little loud lol
Cool machines i owned one also , just check reeds close they like to break and suck in intake
can i contact you, i havbe aharley cart and cant figure out how to get the clutch off
That was quick.
My dad bought one of these last years. Got it running but not it's dead again. I'm watching your videos to try and figure out why its dead (because I'm not a mechanic).
Take it to pawnstars!!🤣
This guy never fails to entertain me and teach me keep it up
Thanks for watching!
It’s in such good condition.
Good job spinning the head around in the right direction Joe
Yeah had to check and make sure I had it on right!
It's worth the money to fix it right . Harley will never make golf carts again and this could become worth something .
they're fun to cruise also
I actually wouldn't go as far as to say never. They're making electric bikes now and it seems like with the surging popularity of golf carts there isn't much reason for them not to slap an H-D logo on some carts again. Hope you're right though because I have one of these lol
Is it a 12 v or 6v
i noticed you turned the the head 180 degrees the right way
Yep!
The top factory speed was 15 MPH.... you can test yours to see how far you are from that.
2strokke!!!😂😂💪
Love the videos! But why don't you ever clean anything (motor wise). Drives me nuts! All you had to do was wash that cylinder head in soapy water!
Good video and always good to see jade in the video to
U so funny on it 😂😂like it
IM FROM SCOTLAND AND I CAN HEAR IT FROM HERE.....
I just picked up one or these to repair. Anyone know of any aftermarket points and condensor model numbers? Mine is a HD model D 1968+
Where did you find that kit? I’ve been looking for one, everything online I’ve found has been out of stock .
Mine is a 1983 thats why I can’t find it
I found mine on ebay. Not a lot of kits available for this machine. I left the link in the pinned comment.
Looks like I might have to get the cylinder I have bored, and just replace the piston.
that's a boat anchor, could be stuck with that for a while me thinks.
Yeah probably
