Re: New G9 Owner. A few troubleshooting questions
Well, I wasn't talking about the green Vanguard cart. The G22 is stock, except for the secondary, and there's this one.
No comparison. Yep, 2x the hp and torque makes a difference. |

Re: New G9 Owner. A few troubleshooting questions
Ah, ok. Missed that.
I did end up talking to Plowman the other day. That does sound like the direction I will go. He seemed to not be too concerned with the motor itself at this point, focusing on the condition of the drivetrain first. I will be giving him a call back in the next couple weeks to do a debugging session. In the mean time I've been tearing off the "extremities" of the motor to check the spacer (good shape), filters (dirty, but not plugged), etc. Ordered all new gaskets for carb/exhaust/valve cover/head. Will button it all back up and see what we're starting with. Will probably wait till it warms up a bit...my garage is difficult to heat when it's -4 out =0P |

Re: New G9 Owner. A few troubleshooting questions
You should be able to get in the low 20's with the gov cranked down and a little jetting. My stock engined G14 with a K&N filter and jetted carb would run up to 4800 rpms which is some where in the low 20's and that was with the windshield up. Took a little distance but it would get there. BUT do remember these yamaha G2-14 series engines run hard will have a much shorter life on their oil control rings and will start to smoke.

Re: New G9 Owner. A few troubleshooting questions
According to the GPS speed app on my phone, my G9 with stock engine and clutching will run 22-23mph on 20" tires with the governor cranked all the way down, but the engine was screaming! I don't need/want to go that fast, so I loosened it up quite a bit and run ~16-17mph to save the wear and tear on the motor, which is plenty fast for me. There's no hills in south GA and I don't live anywhere near pavement, or even a county maintained road for that matter so it's quite rough to say the least. Me stretching the speed up to that 16-17mph mark doesn't even happen all that often.

Re: New G9 Owner. A few troubleshooting questions
That is the point. Unless you install high speed gears or larger tires nothing from plowmans or anyone else is going to change that one bit. Top speed is a function of rpms with a given gear ratio or tire size. I.E 4700 rpms is the same speed whether you have a built to the gills modified engine or a bone stocker. Now part 2 is with the more powerful engine you can get to these rpms with the higher speed gear ratio or larger diameter tires. So how you get 10 mph more with this kit or that kit without doing something with the gearing or tires is beyond me. P.S. Have you noticed our top speed #'s are virtually the same ?

I'm into this cart for about $1000 at this point, so even if I have to drop another $1000-1500 with Don, I'm arguably still ahead in money, and I'll know what's been serviced. |
