G16 Carb

kfp673

On my 97 G16 I have to use the choke way to often from stop to go. If the cart sits for more then 1/2 hour or so I need a quick pull on the choke to get it going. Once going it is fine. I also need to choke to get going if I have a heavy load. I am assuming I need to clean my carb. I am handy but by no means a mechanic. Is this a fairly simple job that I should try to tackle? or should I pay someone to do it? Also, if I do it what parts should be replaced if any while the carb is off? Thanks for your help!

Go for it, sounds like your being modest about your skills. Good idea to use a OEM Yamaha fuel filter, cost alittle more, but the "micron filtering" is much higher than aftermarket. If you need a walk thru..just post. Do Not break the castings that the float pin slides thru! The pin comes out only in one derection. Good luck Dave

So, out of curiosity, what are we looking at if you do "break the castings that the float pin slides thru"???

Check to make sure there are no cracks in the airbox or carb intake. Also check gaskets. Not common on g-16 but sounds like cart is getting to much air.

A new carb.
the little pin can be pushed out with a pair of medium channel lock pliers using restraint. and then pulling with a pair of vice grips, note the orientation or take diggi pics as you go to help reassembly.

I agree with craig. Sounds like a small air leak. You can remove the carb. and then the carb bowl and spray it out with carb cleaner as well. Do not overtighten the two 10mm nuts (snug them only), the spacer is easily cracked on these.

Most G16's are cold collared too. At least the one's that I have had. I've always had to pull the choke on mine after it sits. Although, you shouldn't have to pull it while your driving.

If your pulling things, I would consider a spring/spacer torque kit for this cart. It is only around $45 and well worth it if your cart is lifted and your running at least 20 inch tires. You'll get a little better take off response as well with this kit. We have instructions here on how to install as well.

Thanks Spriddle. I forgot to mention that I do have the spring torque kit installed. Makes a big difference. Thanks again!
