Bought my Mom a Harley.

Early 70s AMF Harley golf cart. I have been looking for a gas cart for some time for her.
I have spent much time on it yet, but I cleaned the points and got spark. Put alittle atf in the cylinder to lube it up and spun it over. It has some compression, but I have not located my compression tester to check it yet. I am on the fence about rebuilding the current engine or swapping to a predator with a reverse gearbox. |
Nice score. Parked at least one in the drink. If your luck is anything like mine, you'll give up looking for the compression tester, buy a new one, and set it down on your bench. Right next to the one you couldn't find.:)

I know its general location. It is just buried.

You are a good son.

I like your predator engine idea. Those old AMF engines can be a pain to get parts for, or so I'm told.

Oh, PLEASE do the Predator! I'd love to follow that project.

I am pretty sure we will go Predator. Just the few parts needed to possibly make it run will cost more than a 212cc predator. I am leaning toward the 420cc. That should be enough to power it. The vtwin would be nice, but I don't think it will fit under the seat. Also Mom does not need to go very fast. It is two blocks to the convenience store and about 8 blocks to Dollar General.
Next will be to save up money for parts. Please make suggestions on how to go about this. I need to retain reverse as she won't be strong enough to push it backwards. |

Some under the hood pictures. The rear axle and engine ride on a swingarm type of setup.

Here's a video that may help. It's kind of long but hang in there. Daren has some ideas. He also has a lot more videos on that vehicle. He has one that shows how fast that thing is. It's fast. https://youtu.be/DRGA3jd9tBo |
This is one I'm following. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Kato, what is the current setup? Is it a two-stroke that starts and runs as you press the gas pedal? Does the starter double as a generator? Is reverse actuated by running the engine in reverse?
