engine angle question

bokeasmowl

I'll be getting a G9 in a couple months and plan to install a Jakes LT and some 25" tires. The cart has a 420 clone in it. I know I read somewhere where somebody said the motor should be no more than 15 degrees? I've also seen several pics where people have dropped the swingarm using a heim setup.

If the angle gets too great the oil sets at the side of the motor and may leave the pick up tube high and dry depending upon it's location.

Its. Splash system. I made mine level just to b sure. When i went to v twin i didnt level it for its a pump system. Also making it level made it alot easier for the cylinder to clear the diff

Yeah you get a lot more room tilting it. I worried about oil getting into the cylinder of the clone on a steep hill, and the oil cut out sensor I didn't really want to take out could go dry its in front. I don't know the specific angle they can run at, I'm sure they can be tilted some and its fine, but I figure they will be tilted a lot more going up hills on top of tilt in cart. It puts the cylinder down very low. At some point the carb might get angry with you too, if you run the stock carb.
