G1 is now home, it's worse than i thought
I picked up my G1 today. I owned it about ten years ago and had to sell it. The guy i sold it to said he needed to get rid of it and that he would just give it back to me Well i have not seen it in a few years and asked him what was wrong with it. He told me it had an electrical issue, so i said heck yea i'll take it. Well here it is.20171029_164819.jpg. Its been hacked and custom lifted and half of the body is gone. Its also missing the exhaust I have a lot of work to do and will need your helpful advise.

Re: G1 is now home, it's worse than i thought
I am actually kinda diggin' the "stitches" on the front cowl. Definitely has a nice Frankenstein look for Halloween.
Glad you saved her. I hate seeing old carts being put to sleep. |

Re: G1 is now home, it's worse than i thought
hell yea looks cool. Just go through all the electrical connectors and clean with contact cleaner. Check all cable ends from solenoids to starter/gen to battery. these ends get corroded and cause all kinds of issues.
heres a service manual in PDF. I took all the battery power version of the cart out and had office depot print out the gas pages. like $24 |

Re: G1 is now home, it's worse than i thought
The stitches are the first thing my wife noticed too lol. The carb and electrical are the first on the list.. I don't want it to suck anything in when trying to start it. I found a cart dealer around here that has a used muffler for $150, is that a good deal or does anyone know where I could get one cheaper?

Re: G1 is now home, it's worse than i thought
$150 is a bit high for a used muffler but they are hard to come by. If you are going to do that you might as well get a new Plowman's performance muffler for $250.
Just about 2 stroke carts have the same specs regarding the compression factors they must maintain for a properly running engine. BigIncCC's deal above seems fair but if you can't work it out pretty much any 2 stroke cart muffler will work on a G1. Of course, you'll have to fabricate the connection points. Incidentally, I have a G1 muffler on one of my old Harley's. I had to do some welding to make it fit but the muffler was free and it works great. |

I'll be following you on this! I just got a G1 J10 myself and it is currently not running but has compression and everything looks to be there so I am hopeful!

Re: G1 is now home, it's worse than i thought
I talked to the guy with the muffler and he is going to throw in some other parts that i need for that price. Thanks for the offer BigInchCC, but there is a few things that he has that i can't pass up. I cleaned up the carb today and found my electrical problem. It was a faulty relay, bypassed that sucker and it fired up. I don't think i would have been able to do that without BGW.

Re: G1 is now home, it's worse than i thought
Thanks mikeasis that will definitely come in handy. So far i have broke the plastic lever for the choke on the carb (old and brittle) so need to fab something up. I bought a few things too, Carburetor mounting joint, fuel filter, air filter, drive belt, and spark plug. I ordered a new ignition switch because mine has a loose connection in forward. The carb mounting joint had a crack in it.
