87 ez-go faster? how?
 

i just got an 87 ez go, gas, i would like to make it faster, most of the stuff i'm finding is for 90 and up, it makes some chattering noise in the clutch that bolts to rearend ( the bolt fell out the other day and clutch fell off, put back on though) i was thinking of getting a new one, but didnt want to spend money on oem part if there is a better one, and the belt looks worn, i seen the thread about shorter belt, would this help also, if so what part # and where do i get it. thanks for help.........ps. governer disabled

Talk to Tom at: http://www.cartpartsplus.com/

He does custom clutch machining. Has all the parts you need.

everything he has listed is for newer carts, not anything for 87:banghead:

Decent clutches are VERY important. After you have that working right ditch the govenor and be conscious of how fast its running.

I wouldn't recommend taking the clutch apart first. They are very simple and you may be able to fit it. Is the plastic cover still on the front?

there had been a rattlin noise coming from the cart, after doin my homework and playing with cart i found out it was the clutch that bolts to rearend, was bad, it fell off, and broke dust cover, bolt came off, i put back on and put bolt back in, it still runs but theres a lot of "play" in it. so i just ordered a new clutch and belt from Tom, said it will be here in a few days.thought about getting bigger motor, but cant keep reverse so i'm sticking with what i got, new clutch should make an improvement ( i hope) will post pics of old clutchto show what to look for in bad clutch
