2001 g16 needs more torque
whats the best way to get more torque out of the cart now? i just modified the governor and have it turned up about 3/4 the way which is plenty fast. now it hardly crawls up the ditch without any speed so im looking for the best torque kit out there without sacraficing the speed now.

Re: 2001 g16 needs more torque
The next steps as follows:
1. Make sure your drive belt is not worn too thin. (replace if necessary) 2. Make sure your drive and driven clutches are clean and working smoothly. Check for flat rollers on primary and worn ramp shoes on secondary. Clean and grease them if necessary. (one or two shots of grease is enough). 3. Install heavier "torque" spring (and spacer if needed) in the secondary clutch. (Note that you probably will lose a little top speed but the added "grunt" will make you happy). This step will not produce the desired results if steps 1 & 2 are not followed !! Good luck - RAY |

Re: 2001 g16 needs more torque
whats the best belt to replace with if i decide to throw a new belt on it? im sure its never been changed from previous owner, and is there any specific torque spring to get like color? i see there is a red one on ebay. dont know if colors dictate different pressure like in snowmobiles.

Re: 2001 g16 needs more torque
I got my power kit from CPP (one of the site sponsors) and it worked really well for me. It has a white spring plus a new spacer. I got my belt from plowmans and it also seemed to work really well. There was a recent post here (http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/gas-y...e-install.html) from a very satisfied CPP customer who bought the same spring I did and also bought a CPP severe duty belt. That belt has both top and bottom cogs for more flexibility and looks very interesting. He was raving about his increased performance. Have a look at that also. There are many other site sponsors with similar offerings, but I have no knowledge those. Good luck - (don't forget to make sure your drive clutch is serviced and has no issues), RAY
