Default Re: My yamaha G9 will only chug along

Maybe an air leak, airbox, spacer between carb and intake, etc... Yamaha's are very picky about airbox being sealed, etc... If you've removed anything from the airbox, put it back and seal the top. If the tabs have broken off the top, use a tie down strap or something. Bad fuel/vacumm line (check the one going toward the back of the engine). Throttle cable adjustment, governor cable, governor... (make sure the throttle is completely opening and closing when you press the peddle). With the key out of the ignition and cart off, just press the pedal and watch the throttle on the carb to see if it is opening and closing all the way. You could try bypassing the governor and hook the pedal cable directly to the carb and adjust it. Could be something with the governor area/cable/spring.

Sounds more like the throttle isn't opening all the way.
