2001 G20 Question
I was given a 2001 Yamaha G20 gas cart with the two bench seats. Based on what I was told it only needs a new starter generator which I ordered today. Once cleaned up, the cart looks brand new almost. I already have a Polaris side by side so I'm really looking to sell this one. I've looked on Craigslist locally to try and determine a value but cannot find any that have for sale. Can anyone give me an idea what it is worth? Also, would it be better if I did a lift and tires if it would help to sell it?
The picture was before I cleaned it up. Thanks for any info, Matt |

Re: 2001 G20 Question
I don't know a good price. That cart is fairly uncommon, but not super "rare". I did one of those with Jake's long travel & a Honda V-twin & it was a Cadillac ride. I think if you did a long travel kit + tire/wheel swap and took it to the race track, people would be tripping over themselves to buy it from you as a track run-around vehicle.

Re: 2001 G20 Question
Thank you. Are there other engines that fit easily? Just asking when I saw you had mentioned a Honda vtwin.

Re: 2001 G20 Question
I do not really trust it would be beneficial to make any change and invest yourself.
IMHO, between the part cost and your time, the increase in value will not worth it; plus the chance of troubles you can face.. The buyer will make the exact changes he will wish, easier for everyone |

Re: 2001 G20 Question
I'm in Louisiana. So I got the new starter generator installed tonight and I obviously have something backwards.....in quick testing it goes backwards when in forward gear and forward when in reverse. I'm guessing this is just swapping one of the cables on the starter?

Re: 2001 G20 Question
Nope, if the engine starts & runs, it's turning the right way. 4-cycle engines don't run backward (unless you feed a fuel supply up the exhaust). The shift cables could be flipped. Shift cables would be easiest to fix it just behind shifter handle.

Re: 2001 G20 Question
Sorry, I should have clarified...once I saw the dir cation it wa spinning I stopped it from cranking. I was able to move the wire on the starter and now it works correctly.
This is the first time I've driven or been around a gas cart. Is it normal for the first few seconds that the engine is louder and it goes faster before getting quieter and a little slower? I wish it would be the same speed as when it first starts up. Thanks again for the help thus far.... Matt |

Re: 2001 G20 Question
That's normal. The clutches are "continuously variable", meaning they change their ratios based on speed & load. If you want to keep the rpms higher, consider a Umax spring for the rear clutch (helps a bunch for lifted cars). The Umax spring was used in the factory lifted carts to help them keep the power up. And it's cheap, less than $15.
