Buggies Gone Wild Golf Cart Forum - View Single Post - Yamaha G9 engine adjustment ( backfiring issue & running rough )

I had problems recently with the running of my G9, I of course cleaned out the carb, followed the great instructions on bypassing the govenor, I had thought by cleaning out the carb it would fix it, but it didn't so I tried this trick: the engine was doing alot of back firing so I decided to try to adjust the lifters, once I adjusted them, it stopped the back firing and now its running smooth.
I do have a new carb on order which I will replace then.
Just a tip to throw out here for those that are having similar issues that haven't tried the lifter adjustments.

PS > this forum is great, loads of info and love to see what everyone rides.
