getting prepared for BB

nitro1 · 08-19-2010, 04:55 PM

I want to be prepared for when i get my BB vanguard so i want to ask a few questions

1. What belt do i need for a stock drive clutch and a comet clutch that's on the vanguard engine ?

2. what oil should i use in the rear end of my Yamaha G16 cart since im going BigBlock

3.any thing i can do more to my cart/engine to make it climb up hills like a BEAST besides ripping apart the engine/rear end ???

4.what oil to use in the 16HP vanguard v-twin engine??

never had one before so i don't no

BIG thank to the one's who reply and u can add any info/tips to this besides just my questions

1. There is a kit from CartPartsPlus that has the right belt for the type of cart you have. They also give a complimentary V-twin engine with kit purchase...

2. I'm thinking just leaving the same rear end lube in it... Maybe a fresh batch of 90w lube if you want to upgrade.

3. With the V-twin upgrade, you WILL be able to climb up hills like a beast!

4. I think the engine calls for 30w oil... May want to check the owners manual for recommended oil in the crankcase.

I will be doing a BB kit also on my G9. Just trying to help! Hope this works

Maybe someone else with the kit will chime in here

That will depend on how you are going to mount the engine. Are buying a cradle or making it yourself?
2. what oil should i use in the rear end of my Yamaha G16 cart since im going BigBlock

I would change it and go back with 85-90w gear lube
3.any thing i can do more to my cart/engine to make it climb up hills like a BEAST besides ripping apart the engine/rear end ???
Plowmans makes a posi kit that I would seriously consider.
4.what oil to use in the 16HP vanguard v-twin engine??
I would switch to a good synthetic 10w30, mobile1 or equal. An after market remote oil filter is also a great idea on this type of conversion.

never had one before so i don't no

You'll need a belt to match your engine cradle (primary and secondary clutch) set up. That's why Tom's CPP kits are so good, everything is matched up.
