That looks good:thumbup:

Re: Yamaha G8 Club - Please post!
 

I was looking at this lift kit from one of the site sponsors - Jasonsgolfcarts.com. For $207 I can get a 6" lift kit for my G8 but it says 1995-2002. Is there a difference between my 1990 and a 1995 G8? Would this work for my cart? And how good is it?

Jim - thats looks cool...I like it!

Thanks guys for all the input! I'm gathering missing pieces to put my stock air box back together. Think I've found everything I need there. What I don't know is jets for the carb. I'm not a carb guy, never have been. I don't know what has been replaced in there and what hasn't. Looking at "Jets", I find a couple things..

Yamaha 3G2-1423E-42-00 JET, MAIN (#106.3)
Yamaha 620-14142-72-00 JET, PILOT (#72.5)

Parts diagrams also show a "high altitude" option here. To return this carb to stock, do I need to replace both these jets? Am I in the right place? What else could/would be changed in this carb when the stock air box was removed? Would I be better off just replacing the whole carb with an "assembly"?

Yamaha J38-14101-02-00 CARBURETOR ASSY 1

This OEM Carb assembly is $200+ but there's loads of carbs on EBay in the $65 range.

Suggestions?
Thanks!
Todd

Thanks guys!

I know what you mean Todd. Carbs are a pain in the azz...Thing is, you have no idea what shape those carbs on ebay will be. You might end up with one in worst shape than yours. Just never know. These are easy carbs to work on though. Very simple - compared to the nightmare carb on this freaking Polaris 500...

I'd suggest to just buy a full rebuild kit (Yamaha OEM) and rebuild your carb. Be a lot cheaper too.

Mike - $207 for a Jakes look-a-like - that's pretty cheap! Rhox - Don't know too much about their lift kits, but its identical to the Jakes - at least in what parts come with the kit. Yes, that should fit your cart fine. I'm guessing that its identical in dimensions as the Jakes.

How much can you pick up a windshield for Curt?

Here's an example of what's on Ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-Golf-...-/170785565670

Listed as "New" but not "OEM". $65 is tempting.

Re: Yamaha G8 Club - Please post!
 

M&M that's pretty cheap and looks similar to the Jakes kit. No idea of the quality.
Hoff, what kind of Carb / running issue are you having?

Jim, No idea, never checked. A friend has one. I may just cut to fit

Re: Yamaha G8 Club - Please post!
 

Cart is running now, basically without issue. Someone before me removed the stock air box in favor of a small motorcycle style filter. I don't much trust the filtration of this filter in a dusty environment. I use this cart around area dirt tracks. When I bought the cart, engine ran but smoked like a banshee. The rings were shot, I'm guessing from sucking in dirt for several years. Now I have a freshly rebuilt (1 year ago) engine and I don't want that happening again. So, my plan is to put air box and carb all back to stock configuration.

$65.00 for new? Worth the shot! Just remember, that looks to be a china made knock off, versus your Japanese oem carb. You may end up with more troubles, but then again, it might work for a while! Go ahead and get it, and let us know how it works!
