G-16 need more power with new lift

[sho305]

Someone said the G22 was stiffer? They used to have a yamahauler spring that was stiffer I saw that in the books. If you wind it more it will hold more rpm at part throttle, I did that, but it makes noise and takes gas, and only help is it is more responsive to throttle because it revs faster....because it is already at higher rpm when you gas it, but it still run the same rpm on the floor so why bother. I did stretch my stock one longer though.

Na Sho. I have no intention of changing it. It goes everywhere I've wanted to go so far, and it goes about 27 MPH on the top end. I'm happy! I got it in, B -3 now, and all is good.

Yes the first spring I bought was from a red hawk distributor and is a red chinese spring and it was way too stiff and coiled too tight to flex. That combined with my work belt. So now the plowmans sheave being skinnier,My belt is up out of the pully 1/16 inch at startup. IF I knew, I would have ground down my stock sheaves and made the plowmans style sheave myself. All they do is buyt the J600 sheave which is oem yamaha and mill down the inner sheave with the shoe guides.
I think just swapping out my belt with the stock spring would have worked pretty good too. I had the cart before the horse on this mod. OH well.. Thanks for all the help guys. Look for the video this weekend.



I can't wait to pull out the welder to start making bumpers.... and what not.
