Yamaha G9 Gas Steering Question

[clayfor]

Double check the plastic manifold again. They are easy to crack when installing.

Does the same thing in nuetral, I have cleaned carb, twice but will try again, my air box is assymbled good except for when u close there is rubber tube that has to go into grooves in top and bottom its a lil warped but I believe I have it in there pretty good, today I will clean carb again and main jet with tip file a little and see how that works, then reassymble air box again, how does the peice that goes on before the filter go in place does the fin match up with the box,s cover fin?

[David Y.]

are u talking about the spacer bracket between carb and engine, if so its in good shape

[clayfor]

Yeah that's what I'm talking about. I put a new one on and it didn't help the problem. Found out that I cracked the new one by overtightening it.

The things that these guys have talked about, all have to be correct or the car is going to do exactially what it is doing.

Ok today I put a small pinch/ kink in air box is tube going into carb. And it ran good, so im trying to get air box to seal better but it seems to be done right, idk how I to assymble any more tight to reduce air flow, does anyone have any pics of their air box for me to go by? Should I clean main jet again and file a little to try to get more gas flow???? Lost now,,,,,,,,

David, so it is now looking like the box top is warped. Mine was also. But I just assembled mine on the work bench, so that I was able to observe all the parts going into their proper channel. Doing it that way, the top kinda trained itself to go back to its origional form. Then you need the straps to get even tention.

In the long run, I gutted the air box and rejetted the carb. But If I were you, I'd make it run properly in stock form first.

The disk above the filter goes on to make the incoming air go around in a circle before it drops into the filter area.

You might really have to screw with the box/cover/parts, gently bend them (when warm) if it was put together wrong before....re-train the parts to fit together again. Yes you can richen the main with a torch tip cleaner that is what I did. I removed the silencer; the part over the generator. Modding the rest of the stuff inside the box had little effect in comparison. Also run the ngk 2 plug spec'ed for the newer carts. Richen the jet just enough to run right then read the plug to fine tune mix, though my plug was always brown after that. Air cooled small engines often run a little better a little rich, also ran it in cold weather sometimes. A light tan would be ideal otherwise, on the insulator. IIRC stock is very light.

Thanks guys, today I was hooking up some headlights and I tapped into a wire that only got power when the ignition was on
so I choose a wire coming right off the key ignition it was tan and tapped into it with a connector and when I got it all hooked up I turned on the lights swithced and they worked but the whole wiring harness caught fireeeee.....

Idk why? Were should I tap in to?

I used one of the wires coming off the switch to activate a relay that powered my lights directly from the battery.
