2017 8.9 hp? New motor?
Recently purchased a 2017 Drive 2 with 8.9 hp. Is this something they recently changed. From looking at other years most have more hp than this. Thanks

Re: 2017 8.9 hp? New motor?
Are you sure you're reading it right? All of the labels I've seen on those report the power output in KW's. 8.9 KW translates to around 11.9 HP.

Re: 2017 8.9 hp? New motor?
Is your cart EFI or carbureted? I think the fleet models have a lower hp rating than the PTV or retail golf carts. I'm thinking you must have a fleet cart.
There is definitely something different in the engine between fleet and retail sales. plowmans has a separate performance kit listed for fleet vs. quietech EFI carts. https://www.plowmanscarts.com/parts_yamaha_drive.html |

No clue what else may be different. But for the $350 I think that plowmans kit would do you right
And i'm sure whatever differences there may be, he would know. I doubt anything major |
