Default Need More Hill Climbing Ability

I just re-built the top end of my 91 4 stroke 295cc. It runs great and will go 30+ on road. But it doesn't seem to want to climb hills very good. It has a new clutch and everything else checks out. The only thing I am not sure about is how much climbing power the big tires are costing me. It has 22 x 11 now and I am considering going back to OEM size tires. Will that help?

shorter belt would help
28 degree clutches would do the trick,
combine the two & your sitting pretty...

Hey Texas..... I found use one or the other but both together were about impossible to shift without rocking the cart Get the driven clutch machined by CPP for a lower gear than you ever had stock That will climb poles

I'd try the shorter yamaha belt on it, it'll climb well enough to flip the cart over backwards. I doubt you'll need any more than that.

Which Yamaha belt?... they use a 41-1/8 and a 39 ... 39 being too short to even get it on the pulley ...why not stay with the ezgo 41" (2stroke belt) just curious ....

I have the 28 degree clutch and the shorter belt. With the way and places I ride, I would not be able to get back out without them. Shifting was tight at first but it is OK now!

nobody else questioning the 30mph on the road??? Maybe he has a set of high speed gears in the rear end causing the lack of climbing power?

I believe this is a case of y'all not knowing about the 91 carts. first, 91 had no rev limiter, I could see 30 mph out of it with out much effort. second, use the 39" yamaha belt, scotty, I wish you would finally realize I know what i'm talking about with these carts. they have different models which need different things, you seem to think every ezgo cart is a txt/workhorse
