Golf cart, ATV or Gator type vehicle?
We played with the linkages to every thing for fuel. We went to far at one time and it would only run wide open and would shut off when releasing the petal even the slightest. Backed it off a bit and found a happy medium. This next week I hope to be in the back clutch to tighten that up to gain more power for quicker acceleration and hopefully a little more speed but when I put the bigger tires on after the lift kit I think I'll be back to needing more clutch work for cross country rides. This unit is still quiet as I haven't hit the exhaust yet. I haven't ordered seat belts yet but they would be a big plus when going out for baha rides but I think the big tires will also give a little more cushion and maybe smooth it out a bit. Bucket type seats might be a plus to hold in better.

Art,
Can you post some pictures of the project? I just bid on a 2001 electric over on E-bay (thanks for the tip Dave), if mine goes through it will be half the cost of the ones I have seen in that category. I have to believe the bid will go higher, but if not it is close enough to me that I can pick it up on a weekend.

Ok, I looked at a club car '98 yesterday. $2,150. Thats roughly the same as eBay priceing but a year older. Although I can see exactly what I'm getting. A trade off either way. How many hours do you guys think one of theese little single poppers will go before kicking off ? They were 550-600 hours. So general conversation lets assume they get scheduled service but no more than whats required. Dave

The newer ones I looked at have twin cylinder Robin engines in them. The older ones have single cylinder, but I could not see the name. The dealer is kind of unsure and since he is actually a soccer coach doing this part time I believe the mechanic is the one familiar with these things, but I have not run into him yet. I do know that they have a 1985 Cushman with a single popper they are rebuilding and will sell for $800, I might just look into that as well.

Dave, Cutter, I would say these engines should run out to about 3500 hours with proper sevicing. I would think that if the cart is bought with the right thing in mind then it should be a good investment. I want a fun machine to play with and not a work machine. For Cutter if you want a work machine then naturally the 800. rebuilt cart is an outstanding deal for that job. You might have a few little items fail from time to time from it's age but you have little invested. For my own use of ocasional back lot type driving and far general comfort while doing it and where it will go, I should have a good long lasting toy.

Can you e-mail me with the address or phone number Art? I like what I am hearing about the Yamaha and those prices seem exceptional.

Cutter the one that they were using the day I was there didn't have a cushion that wasn't torn and it had been bombed with a spray can dupont tune-up without taping! I think after looking at what I bought, for the lack of attention it had, if you've got one they are rebuilding for 300 more I'd jump on that one. Just my thoughts.
