FE290 and 23" tires

daryl · 03-12-2008, 11:36 AM

Will my '95 Carryall 1 turn the 23x10 489s (aluminum wheels) reasonably well?
I plan on installing the springs in my clutches to attain more torque as well.

WELCOME to BGW, Daryl!
I recently purchased a 2000 carryall with Fe350 and 23" tires. It is not responsive at all off the line. I am going to do some clutch work. But for me the cart is too long legged, if you know what I mean. My carryall came with a Z lift on it and the 23" tires rubbed......SO, I had to build another 2" lift now tires clear. Good luck.

Yes Welcome

I also have a carryall I , I haven't done anything to it yet ,( so I can't help you much ) I see more and more are customizing Carryalls and workhorses

Thanks for the welcome,

It will have a 8" a-arm lift & will carry nothing more than me, the girl, and maybe a cooler. I plan on sending my clutch away to be machined. I will also install the clutch springs.
I'm not looking for a speed deamon (at least 10-15mph though), just something to cruise around the trails on the outskirts of mudfests (not through the mud).

Why didn't you say so!? By all means 23s, 25s Whatever...

I played around with the govenor spring and found the rest of the throttle - big difference - still need clutch work I am sure.

Use No-No's formula for getting the most of your motor. There are also motor fix up kits for the CC a cartpartsplus.com. K&N filter, carb jets, new exhaust... Great kit

I plan on it. I have lots of experience with ATVs and Trucks, these are just slightly different with their governors and low rev limiters.

Thanks for the conformation guys, so far I have received useful replies to both of my threads - more than I can say about other cart forums...
