G16 problems
I have encountered a problem with my G16. With the transmission in forward or reverse the cart (lobes?) badly and will not run. It almost sounds like a "slung rod" problem in a large engine; but when I place it in neutral it runs like a charm. The engine was completely rebuilt six months ago with an oversized piston. It shows no sign of smoke, ignition fire or anything noticeably abnormal. Any ideas?

Re: G16 problems
Lopes would be the word, but it doesn't take off fast. It jerks badly moving the cart a foot or two, jerks again, cart moves a foot or two, jerks again, etc. Take it out of gear and the engine runs great. I'm not even a novice when it comes to the mechanics of this cart, but it definitely seems to be a clutch related problem.

Re: G16 problems
smallblock, I believe you are dead on with your guess. I checked the drive belt and it is tight as a tick. The primary clutch is definitely stuck. I'll be taking it to the shop next week for repair. Thanks for the headsup.
