Newbie wanting to get it right
I have a 1994 Yamaha Gas JG5 312109. Want to be sure i have the correct model when asking questions. Am i wrong in thinking it's a G5? It has spun the crank bearing and can't find a machine shop near me to grind it so going to buy a new one but can't find the part number to be sure i order the correct one. Can someone lead me to the link to find the part number for the crankshaft?
Thanks, great site and easy to find my around but couldn't find the info i need |

Re: Newbie wanting to get it right
JG5 is a G9a (I have one also). 3 different sized rod bearings exist (to allow the factory to make use of more castings). A new crank will have a colored paint dot on it to indicate which bearing to use. Usually cant identify the mark on old used cranks.

Re: Newbie wanting to get it right
So if i order a new crank do i just tell them i want bearings to fit? The roller bearings are good, it's just the crankshaft and connecting rod bearings that are chewed up. Sorry for the dumb question but i keep seeing the same part number show up for sale with widely varying prices but i don't know if that's the one to fit my cart. J38-11400-00

Re: Newbie wanting to get it right
Tell "them"? Who's "them"? "They" go by part numbers you order (if they are a reputable yamaha parts dealer, not china "them"), not "just send me the stuff". Maybe talk to people who arent ebay or amazon, skip the clowns. I'd suggest Don plowman (www.plowmanscarts.com). We know he has the parts and "know how" to get what you need.
Not sure if you went straight to the clowns, but I am saying go straight to the pros. Yep, skip us too, get the stuff straight from the guys who offer the stuff & know-how no one else even has. (& has in stock) Or, download a service manual, look up the stuff, do it yourself. There is no "buy exactly this" answer, every crank was "one of three sizes". That's just how a rebuild goes on that engine. (No "well I wasnt doing a rebuild" comment needed). |

Don Plowman will set you right. He doesn't play.
