Re: Tune up and speeding up a 02 DS with FE350
I have a 2007 xrt800 with 290 engine, factory key start as far as I can tell; I have no relay in the box, but that is where the voltage reg is located, it also has a voltage stabilizer outside of box. New s/g and still doesn;t charge battery, so I have a new voltage reg but not installed yet. Still trying to understand charging system, I don't see how solinoid can be engaged full time as is.

Re: Tune up and speeding up a 02 DS with FE350
Okay... I'm going to publicly "Eat some Crow" here! (not all... just some! )
I just did some price checking... and what I came up with was about $400 for the gears, drive belt, drive and driven clutch springs from Cart Parts Plus, Gears for a 97+ $299.99 and the Power package for $99.95... (less the K&N air filter) https://www.cartpartsplus.com/perfor...s-for-club-car https://www.cartpartsplus.com/perfor...product_id=787 Do you really need the K&N air filter?... not really, it doesn't really help much with the performance, but, it DOES save you $$$ in the long run by not replacing air filters every year. The difference between the 2 packages/companies, in my opinion is... Cart Parts Plus is a well respected, long time BGW sponsor, with American made parts! (they've been my "go to" Club Car parts supplier for years now!) as for BU?... I'm pretty sure that most everything from them, comes from overseas! (is it a bad thing? I wont say...) Being that you already have it, and you'll have to send it back... "on your dime"? I'm thinking it may just be a good idea to hang on to it, and put it in! It's your call! |

I just know I called them with questions about a battery tinder a year ago and they were really helpful. I did read that those power kit turns the ignition on with the key switch. It also also keep the cart on in idle, but the start with the ignition is pretty cool. So I'll just install this. Hopefully this kit gets it done. I'd like to be at low to mid 20s with the kit and high 20s with minor governor adjustment. |

Re: Tune up and speeding up a 02 DS with FE350
I have done HS gears now twice and bought them from different places. Neither set of gears came with instructions. The service manual is more than enough for the job. It could be a little intimidating at first, but it is rather simple and straightforward.

Where can I get the service manual? How long did it take to swap out? Do I need to take off the entire rear diff? Do need a puller for the bearings? Thanks in advance. |

Re: Tune up and speeding up a 02 DS with FE350
This is by no means a step-by-step, but just a few pictures.
HS gears On got my manual on eBay. Depending on which rear end you have, you will need to remove some bearing(s) and press them back on. |

I see you have Yahama. Did you drop your diff? I've read three things. I guess all of them correlate to the idea that if I open the diff while it's level to the ground, the gears in the FE350 will "fall out" and creat a bigger mess. 1) Drop the entire engine and diff together, the remove the diff. Keep it cover side up so the gears and fluid don't come out. 2) Just drove the diff, drop the diff by it's self, but you'll need to support the engine since the bolts at the front of the pan (engine end) aren't bolted to he frame. Again flip the diff to cover side up. 3) Drain the diff fluid, take be the passenger side wheel off, the brake, clutch and jack up only the right side so the cart it sits at an angle. This will allow for the removal of the cover with the diff still on, keeping the gears in place. Any thoughts on these steps? I'm going to test the speed stock, then again with the BU performance kit fully installed, and then again when I adjust the accelerator cable\governor. Get some real life numbers. Hopefully I can take pictures through the process for everyone else. |
