Default backfiring G9

I am having trouble with my G9. It wont start. it has good compression , good fire. I put a new ignition coil and ignitor and spark plug on it. It appears to be out of time. It backfires out the carb and the muffler . So could the flywheel key be damaged enough to cause this ? Or what else could it be ?

Check the valves and make sure they are adjusted properly: .004 TDC. If the cart runs but backfires after letting off the gas, it can also be due to the carb. throttle not closing all the way and out of adjustment.

It won't even start. It was running just fine one day and it stopped running and started kicking backwards like it was tryng to run backwards. I have tried to start it in forward and reverse . I will check the valve clearances and the throttle cable.

Something you could try....The negative battery cable goes to the end plate of the starter/generator, Yamaha "pgitailed" a small gauge wire to it and is connected with a bullit connector to the wire harness. Cut back the electrical tape/cut off the small wire and put your own eye end on it and attatch it to the stud with the negative battery cable. Some G9's also had an "add on" fuse at that connection. The reason to check this? Your electronic ignition is based on "open/closed" ground, if a bad ground, it acts like it's out of time. Good luck Dave

Great tip Smallblock, electrical connections are a weak point on these carts with age but at least they are easy to repair. That or the valves seem most probable, possibly a bad ignitor but they are expensive I'd try to swap one first if you get to that. Look for obvious intake air leak maybe, some carts that can have severe reaction.

other thing that can make it back fire is the mixture could be set too rich which will make it backfire. 1 1/2 turns out for the mixture screw.

Thumbs up Re: backfiring G9

Thanks smallblock450 ls
The ground and other dirty connections were the problem. I sanded and sprayed with electronic cleaner every connection i could find.: It worked and i now have it running better than it was before. Very good tip !
