G9 clutch cover cracked

Naragah · 07-25-2010, 05:29 AM

Hi from Australia,
wow the golf buggy scene is huge in the U.S and this site is great.
I have a G9 yamaha that is stock I am in the process of doing a rebuild nothing great just standard. My clutch cover has a 3inch crack in it where one of the clutch weights went through. My parts guy said that it can't be welded or braised because it will throe the balance out.

Is this correct because I really don't want to spend more money then I need to.

many thanks
Naragah

Welcome! I don't know how much it would throw it out of balance, but for 20.00 or so, why not get a new one? Don't over grease the clutch and you should have a long life for your rebuild clutch.

Thanks for the response the trouble with buying a new one is that here in Aus golf cart parts are thin on the ground and expensive I have been quoted $60 for a new one

but if I really need to get one then I will just go without beer next weekend lol
