OK, this is about a golf cart. At least it's a gas powered, hydraulic dump bed, lifted and knobby tire'd golf cart.
Anyway, my golf cart wasn't running right. Tried everything I knew (not much) to get it running. Thought it was the carb. It wasn't. Ended up taking it to Dymphna's father. Man is a genius with motors. Saw him the next weekend. "Huntr, the golf cart engine is in pieces and needs major work." He got it running (badly) and went to tune it up. Valves are supposed to be 4000 clearance. One was 14000. Not good. Camshaft was worn out. Told him to give me the parts list and I would find and order them. Only one of any consequence is the camshaft. EZ-GO wanted $286. Metro Golf Cart (Brandywine) $380. LVS Sales (online) $169.50. Monday I did a search on eBay. Found the camshaft for $98.00 + $7.00 shipping. Messaged the seller about the other parts I needed. They said "yes, we have them. Call us" and gave me a number. I called. Phone was answered with "LVS Sales, how may I help you?". Too funny. So I ordered the cam thru eBay and the other parts thru their website, they are packaging together and then refunding me any overage in the shipping fees.
Moral of the story? It pays to shop around.
