Where should I buy??
Hey guys, I have a G11 utility cart I just picked up that needs some valve stem seals and rings. Where is a good place to buy them? I want to support our vendors but I don't see any listing rebuild kits on thier websites. Who do you guys recommend and what should I be paying as a "ballpark" for rings, valve stem seals and gaskets? The closest Yamaha cart dealer is 3 hours away so that isn't really an option either.
Thanks, I welcome all your feedback. Chris |

I know you guy's may frown on this, but get original Yamaha rings/gaskets/valve stem seals. Better fit and you really only want to do the job once. You may spend 60.00 bucks , thats a high number. Remember to install 2 valve stem seals. Original Yamaha's only cam with one on the intake valve, but the exhaust is "machined" for one also. Yes I work for a Yamaha dealership, but I am being honest.

Thanks Crash....If you guy's think I was pushing purley Yamaha..I'd feel bad. I feel I'm qualified, but the owner has to make his own choice. Thanks for letting me post. Later Dave

Re: Where should I buy??
Smallblock, I couldn't agree more. I was actually hoping that someone could recommend an "enthusiast friendly" dealer. Since I don't live near one, mail order is the best option for me. I'm more than happy to spend a few extra bucks for the RIGHT parts the first time. Not to mention, you know if it is from Yamaha, it is good Shizzle! I'm not trying to knock any of the vendors, I've bought stuff from CPP/Dixie and East Coast Carts as well, ECC is local to me and a great shop. If your dealership is willing to ship, I would just assume place the order with your shop. Send me a PM and let me know your thoughts.
