New guy needs help
Hello new to the forum,
I just got a gas G16 that is stock, guy told me he put a new clutch in it. I read there are some must do mods like: Changed Oil to Mobil 1 Took Clutch apart - Cleaned & Torque Spring Installed w/Spacer Cleaned & Re-Jet Carb (BIG DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANCE) Tight 10mm nut ALMOST (not all) to complete tension with Speed Spring Installed. Re-aligned steering. Would someone explain these or have a link to a thread that does. I plan on lifting the cart and putting bigger wheels with AT tires. Right now it seems to run good but won't climb any kind of hill. I am hoping it is the governor. Thanks |

Re: New guy needs help
Is the "primary clutch" one on motor, closing all the way? (belt go clear to the top of the pulley, when reving it up in neutral)? And don't hold it at top RPM for more than a second or two. Take the cover off the front clutch, and look for flat spots on the 3 rollers, (you will see what I'm talking about when you get in there).

Re: New guy needs help
I not looking for speed, I want low end torque. I have a lot on hills on my property. When I try to climb a hill is just stops, doesn't sound like the belt is slipping. It does make a ugly sound when you first take off.

Re: New guy needs help
The bushing is known to fail on the sliding-sheave on the Primary-Clutch.Its' a cheap fix,that will cause the clutch to rattle and bind when worn enough.The bushing and grease seal sell for about $10.How is the belt?If its' worn and stretched,you'll lose quite a bit.My Wifes'G16 has 21" tires,no govenor,No Torque-Spring either(I've installed a few of them and not real impressed by them),its' a beast for power,climbs over almost anything.Maybe look into a tune-up as well.Hope this helps.

Re: New guy needs help
The clutches are really important, you also need a good belt as old worn ones will make it bog. New is 1 3/16 wide, 1" is junk and close to 1" is junk on a lifted cart. First make sure the clutches are clean and lubed and working properly, no bad rollers or anything. Then make sure the engine can't pull into the trans on takeoff, that will make it bog too (mean bog at dead stop takeoff up a hill). The engine should respond and rev up on a steep hill. Don't expect a 9hp lifted cart to go up things a normal person can't run right up, but they can usually do more than they should. You can try a cut sheave for more torque at low speeds like for towing, they work nice and don't affect higher speeds. That is a cut secondary sheave. You can invest a lot of time installing a $300 15hp clone engine in there and have around twice the power, but its a project and you need a $50 adapter.

Re: New guy needs help
What everyone has said, but over greasing is the problem! Grease all over the belt and clutches!
