New To Golf Carting... Jumping in head first!

RSWORDS · 09-03-2010, 02:50 PM

Whats up everyone, Some quick background on myself...

My name is Bobby and my main love in life (Goes witout saying, aside from my wife) is performance diesel trucks and I'm a Staff member of a Large diesel forum. Well owning two Cummins from my hobbie and liking to travel I naturally bought a camper to go on trips. Well now that I go camping I needed a cart to cruise around in! Isint it great how these things work!

Anyway some friends had this old Yamaha sitting behind teh shed and told me to take it, he was tired of cutting grass around it... I *think* its a G2 but not confident in that at all, can anyone give me some info on it and maybe a manual?

It has no batterys but I hooked up two 12v I had just to make sure it was running.

Gonna go through and clean, paint, and fix the little things that are wrong. I need to fab up new battery trays as the old ones are rusted but other then that it looks real solid. Plans are for a nice flame red paint job, some big black wheels and low profile tires. Also I've seen a few air ride carts... any good info on them?

Can i run a higher volt system with this motor? Figure if I have to buy batteries anyway might as well get the 8V and do a 48v cart, unless they are WAY more expensive. Any good write ups on them?

Thanks and now for some pics!

Little video of the testing, forward and reverse work well...

After some more reading I think it is a 1992 G9E... is that right?

Yep, it's a G9-e with a 36 volt solid state controller. If you wanted to update to 48 volts, you'd need a new controller and solenoid and a new charger. That could get really expensive. Good luck on your project.

Yeah I think I'll just stick with 36v for now then. Need to get some new batteries, Any reviews on the StowAway STGC2 from sams club? I know that the ah's are on teh lower side of the scale but this thing will only see minumum run time at teh campground before pugging in every night. maybe an hour or two of run time. Will I be happy with teh performance of these batteries?

Nothing on the sam's club batteries?

Anyone point me towards a good 48v controller?
