Did I bite off more than I can chew? '90 G2 gas
Hi all.
So far I'm into this buggy for about $700. Been looking a long time, couldn't find anything under $2k so I figured I would get this one and fix it up. Runs OK except for a million rattles. I think every nut and bolt is loose. 175 dry compression. Needs some wiring repair. No stop switch. Flip a switch and it runs til you turn it off. Steering loose. 2 bolts missing from the steering box to frame, other 2 loose. Don't know what else may be wrong with steering. Brakes very poor. Pulled the drums, plenty of meat on the shoes. Needs a cooling shroud, carb air cleaner and some other stuff. Top is about to fall off, attachment points are cracked and broken. Pretty cool wheels though. I appreciate any feedback. Bogart |

I would not run it without the fan shroud. It will overheat...

For 700 i would buy it. Fix what you can, replace what you have to. When you go to upgrade don't think you would lose any on the investment.

Post a ad in the classifieds for what you are looking for. Also search the classifieds for the parts you need, their may be a few members that have what you need
Good luck with your new cart, around here that would be a good deal. |

That thing on the end of the carb looks more like a crankcase vent than an air filter...

If it runs good with that air filter. They might of messed with the jetting/mixture of the carb. I have somthing similar on a G9. It Wolud lean out and backfire and make the engine hot with factory jet/settings. If you get a stock sealed air box it might be very ritch.(too much fuel)

If you want to verify year & model, the serial number tag is still present. But painted over. Tag is aluminum, and numbers are stamped in.

That's definitely a G2 but I'm thinking that it's older than you think, that's a great buy for the price, I would look for the original air cleaner for it, the one you have could give you some performance issues.

Re: Did I bite off more than I can chew? '90 G2 gas
How so sure? all identifiers are covered, modified, or missing. Kick rails are covered w/diamond plate, nose trim is gone/modified, cup holders are gone, steering column & wheel are painted, ignitor is not visible. What's left to identify with? My G2 has a oil light, but I don't think all did, some say G9 never had one, I'm not sure of that either. This one has no oil light.
