How We Built My Golf Cart

In 2008 we bought a camper at Skyline RV resort in Darien, NY. At the resort you are able to use a golf cart. So we decided to buy a cart. We found one, and this was the beginning to a long story. The cart worked perfect until we found out how golf carts should work. You step on the gas pedal and expect the engine to start. This golf cart however, didn’t. You needed to open the seat and start it. After the season we decided to make it like regular carts.
On Craigslist we found an old engine made for our cart. We took out the old one and put on the new one and we found out the engine was missing parts. I found this website called buggiesunlimited.com. They sell all kinds of golf cart stuff. This is where the real trouble comes in. Our golf cart is a Hyundai and the Hyundai Golf Car Division went out of business in 01. So parts were scarce. I Then found that buggiesunlimited.com had a forum section. I joined the forum and this guy was selling all kinds of Hyundai parts. We bought the parts, and finally when we thought we were in the home stretch, the engine blows smoke out of the exhaust pipe. The piston rings were bad. So much for our hard work! Over the winter we are going to take out the engine and try to find replacement piston rings.
