I bought a g1 from a lady that only used it at her lake house, and it was stored in her garage for the past year. All I had to do was buy a battery, air the tires, and change the air filter and it ran like new.

After running out the smoke from the oil in the muffler I decided to take the governor out a few millimeters. I noticed that when I get it to around 16-18 mph It has a loud noise, not a bad grinding noise but more of a dragging noise. It is only at top speed throttle or no throttle. When I coast downhill with my foot off the gas it does the same thing. It is absolutely the only thing that bothers me about this ride. I am only $400 in to it right now. Sounds like a gear box or clutch?

I will post some pictures the cart later.
