ignition key switch for my 1979 G1 Yamaha Golf cart

harley1969 · 01-15-2012, 07:37 PM

New to this site, friend of mine told me about this buggy's gone wild. I will say that I have a new found respect for my ole project cart after reading some of the threads. My question is does anyone happen to have a part number for an ignition switch for my 1979 G1 Yamaha gas golf cart? I only need the switch and it will be ready to go. Thank you all for the great advise and I look forward to adding some cool mods to my new to me golf cart.

Thanks again,
Harley

I believe the part you need is called "main switch assembly". Number is J17-82508-20-00. You can download or view the parts manuals and owners manual at yamahagolfcar.com. Click on the service tab.

Previous owner of one of my G9s replaced the key switch with a pull/push on/off switch. Nothing special about the original switch unless you really want to keep it original. Even an on/off toggle switch will do the job. It does nothing except supply power to the electrical parts.

On the G1 carts the "ignition switch" also does the job of determining the direction of travel. The switch has three positions and 10 contacts to provide the proper electrical connections for forward off reverse.
The G9s and other 4 strokes use a much simpler ignition switch.

Thanks for that info. Never having had a G1 I just assumed the ignition was similar. If I had thought about it I would have known there was a difference. Only 2-strokes I have dealt with have been small outboard motors and motorcycles ... neither of which have reverse. Sorry for the mis-information.
