    I did this years ago the rear bolts fit and the front only needed a 1” square tubing added to fit, no need in a charging system just add a solar panel from harbor freight $13 to the front and your battery will stay charged. The exhaust is the problem you have to weld it and make it fit as for the engine running it doesn’t i pull my 3000 pound boat around with mine it’s a beast

    The Hyundai HGG-1 cart is a South Korean clone of the G2. Five minutes with a grinder and a couple of 2"x1/2" flat steel bar risers front and back let me install my modified 420 hemi Predator using the same bolt holes in the stock engine cradle. No other parts or mods were necessary. Everything lined up and fit perfectly. Stock throttle cable, stock belt with a 780 clutch. Welded up a flange to my own bent full length 1.25" exhaust capped with a round big block B&S muffler. Been running the hell out of it for over two years now. 4.450 (+.040) billet rod, forged flat top piston with deepened fly cuts .018 out of the hole with a .048 gasket, stainless steel NR Racing valve package, CM pushrods, billet flywheel with ring gear, Dynocams .255 lift welded lobes cam, ported head with polished and enlarged exhaust port, 3 angle valve job, head and side cover studs, bored 3 circuit carb modified to be fully tunable, VC modified air filter box. ua-cam.com/video/qrtbYT4oIyY/v-deo.html

    Thanks for your video. I have an older model 3-wheel EZ-GO cart and want to convert to gasoline. I have an electric start 11hp horizontal thats in a bad generator. I purchased the cart to pull trash can to end of my 3/4 mile driveway and possibly cruise the neighborhood. If you have an suggestions on putting that engine on the cart I would appreciate anything you can add. I just can't afford six 6v batteries. I did think about put 3 deep cycle batteries in it. I have two 12v 75ah batteries now. Again, any suggestions would be appreciated and I enjoy your videos! Keep them going!

    There are a couple of issues you didn`t discuss. What did you use for a fuel tank and the engine doesn`t have vacuum for a fuel pump. I installed the same engine used the stock tank with a electric fuel pump. I also purchased a bushing to use the factory pulley on the engine so I was able to mount the generator starter in front of the engine to crank it with the foot pedal and charge the battery.

    Red beard, i just installed a 420cc DuroMax engine in a cushman 800x. I want to use the OEM fuel tank to the cart but is needs a pulse line to operate the fuel pump. What do you suggest I use? Should I put a low volume electric fuel pump or try to put a vacuum adapter on the carb? Thanks!
