1981 Yamaha G1 2 cycle Project

It is a standard G1 engine.

Looks like a stock Yamaha 215cc engine to me.

How do I by pass the Oil pump? Do I just disconnect the hose?

[CharlieN]

It is best to remove it but disconnecting all the hoses and plugging the line where it injects in the engine would be fine.

Charlie what did you use to plug the oil injector hose port on the carb? Thanks

I hope this helps:

Definitely standard G1 motor.

I believe you can buy a new voltage regulator. Look online a bit. King of Carts is a site sponsor and has tons of stuff.

I painted my cart with Rustoleum rattle-can paint. I used the "Ultra-Cover 2X" primer and paint. Depending on your skill, you can get a decent paint job out of it. While paint job is NOT up to body-shop quality, I am very pleased with it and the $60 cost. I primed, painted, polished with polishing compound, and waxed/buffed.

Also look at sticky for G1 carts - most useful information!

Thanks a million ewbldavis. Your cart looks great. I'll send pics when I'm doing the paint.

Thank you to everyone for all your support.

Just a update. I had stock 4.8 - 8 tires on and wanted a little fatter tire. I thought about the 5.7 - 8 but took a shot in the dark and got the 16.5-6.5-8 Tires and rims. As you can see from the pics I have enough play without any spacers. I am using these on the back end for right now. What do you think?
