1997 G 16 won't pull hills
Hi Everyone!!
I'm a newbe to the forum and not very mechanically inclined but here's my question: My cart struggles going up a long steep hill on our golf course but flies on level ground. I was wondering if I need to install a power kit with the power spring and shaft spacer? The clutch belt is only 6 months old. Will the power kit help?? Thanks  MM |

Re: 1997 G 16 won't pull hills
I would also do a compression check on the engine too. 97 is getting up there (I have a 94!) and might be time for a general refresher to get back the power.....

Re: 1997 G 16 won't pull hills
Run the cart in neutral and see how quick the rear clutch opens up. Rear circlip for rear clutch may be broke. The clip is located between the rear housing and helix.http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/gas-y...tructions.html

Re: 1997 G 16 won't pull hills
Guys, I'm very new here, but shouldn't he check clutch sheaves for windows, belt condition, and all other stock parts, before he spends money on performance enhancements he may not need?

Re: 1997 G 16 won't pull hills
Mike Mac, that's a good point. Take a look at the "buttons"/ ramp shoes for wear before you order the power kit. If they need repacement, that's the time to do it. Mine wouldn't have had to be replaced yet, but they are cheap so I just did it anyway.

 I think sometimes people come here to find a second opinion... then they can go see their mechanic or golf cart shop tech with a better understanding of what their cart needs.  |
