just got a G1 and is smells hot!
Hi, guys, I am new here. I just got a G1 yamaha. I seems to run really nice but a after a few minutes is start to smell hot. it did have old fuel in it and I added octane boast and about 12 bucks worth of new gas. This cart has not run hardly in the last 3 years. I did add a little oil to the gas as I was concerned it was not getting any oil. It dosent loose power and starts fine after it is hot. I am just concerned that i dont cook the engine. I did notice oil around the tail pipe and have read that the muffler could be a little clogged with old oil. I have read of muffler bbq and also of running it hard to get it good and hot to remove the build up. Anyway I drove it for about a mile and drove it pretty hard and i just dont want to burn it up. Any advice of hints would be great!

Re: just got a G1 and is smells hot!
You're on the right track with the muffler. Are the plastic shrouds still on the motor?

Re: just got a G1 and is smells hot!
if the muff was full of old oil would it have the "hot" smell? The engine does not seem hot, obviously the the muff is hot but i cant tell where it is coming from.

Keep the shrouds in place. That's how the engine stays cool. Just keep the crud out of them.
If the muffler has excessive oil in it, you have not even scratched the surface. Take it for a long ride at mid-to-higher rpms so it heats up pretty good. When you get back, you'll be killing every mesquito around. 1 mile is not a long ride. |

I will take it for a good long ride this weekend. All I am concerned about it ruining the engine if that is not the problem.

Re: just got a G1 and is smells hot!
If you're not sure it's getting proper oil, just go ahead and disconnect the oil injector, or let it run empty, and premix your fuel. The manual says the oil injector mixes at 150:1 so I use 85:1 to be on the safe side. Some guys use 50:1 but I think that's too much oil.
Once you know you have oil in the gas, then take it on that long ride. You'll burn up that oil in no time. It's gonna get smoky! |

Re: just got a G1 and is smells hot!
I haven't been able to fond out how to disconnect the govener. I have tightened the screw up on the spring but is there a way to by pass it totally?

Re: just got a G1 and is smells hot!
Here's athought, watch your rpms when runnin wide open. Don't wanna go over limit, and blow something. I know on my ezgo, they say rpms iz 5k, but 47krpms is safer. I just bought a tach. for $15 bux. Just a idea.
