Yamaha g16E limo joy ride damage
Funny story, took golf cart to camp ground for Father's Day weekend, it ran great had a great time until it was stolen/borrowed. Camp ground staff found it in the deep woods stuck on top of a tree trunk. Still runs but no where close to the same. Damage found as follows front end hit bumper torn, hood was caved in but was able to pull back out. Both rails scraped/gouged, rear bumper hit with tree (bark still on bumper), one of the batteries has a melted positive post and shielding melted, not sure of any undercarriage damage. Symptoms as follows starts fine then slows down considerably, will barely go up slight hill. Battery gauge shows batteries at full charge.
Any ideas of what happened to cause this change in performance? Thank you in advance. |

Re: Yamaha g16E limo joy ride damage
I'd start with the batteries. The perpetrators beat the crap out of your cart and you've got a melted battery post. It's not going to perform like it used to...

Re: Yamaha g16E limo joy ride damage
Def start with that battery post repair...any weak connections will make cart perform poorly.
