G2 will run, but not good?

raerae965 · 07-01-2009, 01:01 AM

I have an 1991 G2 Gas, I was driving it one day and it just quite running fast What I mean is I jack the back wheels off the ground and the will roll over but when it on the ground it will bearly move at all. Don't have a clue what is wrong I hope some one can help me. Please Thanks Karen

Sounds like a clutch problem. With the rear of the cart jacked up (use safety stands), run the cart in neutral and see if the front clutch pulls the belt all the way to the top and the rear clutch opens moving the belt all the way to the bottom. Also watch the engine to see if it moving back. You could also have some bad engine mounts. And check the tention cable under the air box, it may be broken and allowing the engine to move back to far under load.

Tell us more,is the exaust getting (warm-hot),that will tell you if the engine is firing.

Sounds like a power transmission problem for sure. Could be the secondary clutch stuck in the open position. You can put the cart in nuetral. Ref the engine and watch the belt. The front clutch should close and the back clutch open. If you don't see this happen you have a problem in the clutch that is not moving. Could also be belt slippage which could come from several things. Engine moving back, worn belt, of clutch problems. If it is not there is could be in the gearbox itself.
Good Luck!!

the belt and clutch is working ok and the motor is not getting warm...

If it is not getting warm I would start by checking the spark first. It's easy to check in a dark room or late evening. If the spark is good it has to be the gas or compression. Check the spark and let me know what you find.
