Just got another Yamaha

"He just wasn't lucky enough to find the rare and coveted G8!"

He didn't turn over the right rock. Rare & coveted? Well, maybe. Some people collect Pintos and Vegas too.

"... yard cart is on it's last leg, barely runs, just about wore out I needed something to pull the trailer around ... The Electric Yamaha was giving me an ulcer never wanted to run when I needed it and I dont really care for Electric carts."

There ya go --- he already have the equivalent of a G8 --- and he was lookin' for something reliable and KOOL. No wonder he held out for a G9.

Well the engine runs like a top, cleaned the carb and installed a new fuel pump, press the pedal and away she goes, just wish the rear axle was in it. 450SL has already mailed me the axle to replace the broke one, soon as it gets here I'll put the axle all back together and see how it goes.

So should I paint it or just use it?

I'd drive it awhile, get the bugs worked out. If its a good car, tear it down for paint!

Seeing other stuff that you do, I believe you will clean it up and paint!!

Just use that baby, it is what it is. That way you don't care so much about the dings a yard carts gonna get.

I'm probably gonna leave it, it's got a dent in the front plastic where it turned a body bend insideout, I could probably get it out with a heat gun but then I would want to paint it, maybe give the GodKids a couple cans of new Camo paint.
