Anyone? How common is this issue?

You mean the shaft dropping? Many have done the mod or just eliminated the arm altogether when switching to a BB. I don't think it's a problem...

Hold the outer from moving while turning the inner clockwise towards the rear of the car then release the inner sheave. It should snap back fairly hard and fast . If it does not your clutch is not properly pre loaded and needs to be removed and done properly. We see this alot in cars that come in .

On the "Drive" or YDRA secondary clutches if you have issues with the car reviing up alot before it moves remove the secondary, disassemble it, clean it spotless inside , lightly grease the shaft and the pins for the rollers with Yamaha grease ( we use a different brand but it IS NOT normal grease or that worthless white stuff people love so much ) and reassemble. You should see a noticeable difference in the car after cycling the throttle a few times and driving it.

If you really want some speed out of a gas powered drive, rip the transaxle out, split the cases, remove the input shaft and look at it. You'll see three weights on the end. Pop these past the ring that stops their movement and reassemble. The car will continue to accelerate ...until it blows up. They blow past from time to time on their own and we have had cars that hit 40 mph on the gps when these go bad , so , if you don't care about your warranty, or safety , or blowing stuff up, have at it.

I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU DO ANY OF THIS STUFF AND GET HURT OR BLOW YOUR STUFF UP

I took the three weights out.... will it hurt if I take the governor fork out also?

If you've removed the weights, I think it would be OK to remove the fork and its shaft, also. Tap and plug the hole in the case. I should have done this when I replaced my input shaft, but I left the weights in place...

[bikerjoe]

was thinking should be ok ....plus thanks for hole plug tip .... with the Kawasaki motor the governor is not hooked up but ....was worry more about loose governor parts moving in case housing

Are there any picture tutorials for this? I am not sure if mine is a g16, I think it is though

Does anyone know how much oil a G22 receives during an oil change?

I bought the cart from a local golf course and it was the fastest cart they had on the course. It definately will be the fastest cart on the course this summer! Yehaw!

I literally laughed out loud when I read this!! 😂👍
