I still have the stock DAYCO Belt on my '90 ..Part# 22337 - G1.
But it looks like they have a new and improved replacement belt Part# HP2012.

Sometimes an auto parts store can hook you up. Take it with you and tell them you want 1" shorter. It's worth a shot.

This should have the info for every belt ever put on an ez go.Minus modifications... Sticky Time??
These are the stock belts and current OEM numbers, with deminsions. G02 designates 2 cycle on the p/n's

It has been almost a week since i change my drive belt to a shorter one. My cart is alot slower I am thinking about putting my OEM belt back on. Does a 2 stroke run better in higher RPMs, and if so wouldn't the longer belt allow the engine to turn faster?

This is a rather silly question, but can somebody lead me to a belt change thread? I searched and searched.... I want to know what all has to come off. My belt now is missing cogs and is pretty slippy down low. The sheaves look great though.

nothing has to come off. grab the top of the belt and give it a sharp yank. the driven clutch will separate enough to let the belt sit down a bit inside it. this will allow you to roll the belt over the edge of the driven clutch.

Two cycle engines are better at the higher rpm's. They have never been known for torque. Some of the longer stroke two cycles produce a good amount of torque but have become outdated.
The shorter belt should hold the clutch at a lower gear ratio for a little longer than stock. It will, in some cases, slow down the top speed.
My cart is a 4 cycle, but I didn't like the short belt. The throttle response was jerky, the engine stayed in the lower ratio longer than I liked and I lost some top speed. Some are very difficult to shift from forward to reverse with the short belt until it breaks in. I run a 28 degree clutch with the stock size HD belt.
So, yes. The higher rpm, the better it will run. (to a point)
