Yamaha G9 build
Hey everyone.
I picked up a Yamaha G9-A over the weekend and I'm getting ready for my first build. The cart has been in storage inside and out for the past few years, but the exterior of the cart cleaned up pretty well. I want to start my build off right so the first thing I want to do is get it up and running. The battery is missing so that's first on the list along with a good tune up. The battery specs in the manual that I downloaded are Greek to me. Does the cart take a small car battery, ATV battery or lawn & garden battery? I also ran across a few posts about getting rid of the stock fuel filter and putting in an inline filter. What filter should I put inline? I can see how much ya'll like pictures. I promise I'll get some going. |

Re: Yamaha G9 build
Standard car battery works fine, in-line fuel filter between the pump and carb with fittings same as your fuel line, usually 1/4".......

Re: Yamaha G9 build
any walmart or auto zone or any fuel filter will work.as long as the size fits the hose.
i use a truck battery in my G2a.you can pretty much use any 12 volt you want to.the better the battery,the longer it lasts.we do like pictures so lets get some on.we like to see builds from the start(hint,hint) |

Re: Yamaha G9 build
yeah id love to see some pics of a good g9 build so i can steal ideas . But if you got a old car battery sitting around that still holds a charge good u can use that. At the moment i got a old ford f150 battery in my car. You can really put any battery in a gas golf cart it seems lol.

Re: Yamaha G9 build
Get the cheapest Walmart car battery (top post) you can find. I've ran these in my carts for years and they work great.
And, I do recommend (when you have the extra time) to cut out the factory fuel filter and install an inline filter. Just one of the 2 or 3 dollar plastic ones at an auto parts store. |

The best and cheapest route on this model for more power is completely bypass the governor and hook the pedal cable directly to the carb. and adjust it so the carb throttle completely opens and closes. Just be mindful of your rpms, don't run it wide open for long periods of time, and keep the oil changed regularly. AND....................... If your cart is lifted, buy the spring/spacer only torgue kit for around $45. |
