Yamaha G2E solid state conversion

[Poor boy buggy]

I have a Yamaha G2E electric cart that converting from resistor coil to solid state. I was thinkin about goin with an Ezgo system because I have a 275 amp Curtis controller already. I was wondering if that would be my best option to go with. Also if I do go with this system, I was wondering what the best way is to mount the PB-6 throttle box to the accelerator linkage. I have an Ezgo marathon with this system. It has a ball n socket type hookup to the throttle box, but my yamaha isn't the same way. Any help is appreciated.

Like I said in your other post, The Curtis controller and pb-6 pot box will work great in your car. Not real speed improvement, but throttle response and smoothness of operation will be greatly improved. The Hyundai cars used a simular set up and it's not hard mounting them up to your G2. I can get a wireing diagram if you'd like. PS, Rodgers Rides "built from the grund up" used the same set up. Good luck on your project

So the Curtis controller and PB-6 box will work with the stock motor and reverse switch? The reason I was thinkin about goin in this direction is because I converted my Ezgo marathon from resistor coil to solid state and I am very familiar with this setup. I'm still tryin to figure out how I can hook up the PB-6 box to the pedal linkage.

Very easy, mount the box where the accelerator board assy is now and use the same accelerator rod, may need to cut the end and thread it for a joint (like a ball and socket) that is used alot on Ezgo's. Wire it the same way you did your Ezgo too.

Ok that's kinda what I was thinkin too. Just wanted to get a couple of opinions. Thanks

Email me some pics of your current throttle set up I may be able to help. I've built conversion systems for both CC and Ezgo, maybe I should look at a kit for the Yamaha also?

Might be a good idea Scottyb. How much speed do you gain by running 48 volts thru a 36 volt motor?

[smallblock450sl]

This was the joint end I was refering to.

Mathematically you will gain 33%, carts vary but the results are fairly consistent. A 12mph cart goes about 18mph, but as I posted on another thread this AM, the increased voltage and amperage allows for other upgrades like taller tires or gears which result in higher speeds not to mention it opens up the possibility of using an aftermarket motor to make the cart perform as desired.

What thread is that swivel/coupler at each end?

I think it was in "Yamahauler" by Crash. You can get them from Jegs ect. I thought Club Car's and Ezgo's use that joint/end on some models for f/r cables and accelerator linkage?
