Yamaha powered 2 in 1 project
Not sure if this should be in the Ezgo section or Yamaha section. So this is the current project. I think it may be an 875 series. It's Ezgo with what seems to be a G2 series motor. Unfortunately the ID plate has been painted over but the previous owner believes it is a 1990 model. The motor fortunately still had readable numbers J38 027593. Wiring needs TLC and I think the ignitor is bad at this point. But, I have a fully functioning 4 foot by 9 foot aluminum rollback wrecker bed and fabricating a skid type box to put on and off that will make it a fire engine, complete with a rooftop water cannon. I'm wanting to do the hei conversion to simplify things. I'll also be installing a fuse block as it seems there isn't one fed by an 8 gauge wire straight from the battery. Then all the led lights, winch and accessories will be fed straight from that. Also in search of a proper key switch as the current one is mangled and uses a screw driver for a key lol and may or may not be working right. Needless to say, my crazy @$$ stepped into a different world with this one 😂 Any info or tricks are greatly appreciated. I'll be using the wrecker version for all sorts of work and fun and the fire truck version for fun and shenanigans.

Re: Yamaha powered 2 in 1 project
Interesting, to say the least. Looks like it's been stuffed in the back pretty good.

Re: Yamaha powered 2 in 1 project
It came with the J38 motor in it, not sure if it's a swap or not. If this is an 875 model, the ezgo specs say they can carry 3,000 pounds. I was shocked. A guy I know with cart experience said it's definitely heavy duty underneath. It's definitely a mini beast

Re: Yamaha powered 2 in 1 project
I've seen some taylor/dunn's with yami J38 motors, if I recall correctly, but never one labeled as an ezgo on the front (ezgo now owns taylor/dunn). Ezgo with a Yamaha motor would be considered blasphemy on both sides. Yamaha for the win on that one. I'd trade 2 gas ezgos for 1 gas yamaha. I might be biased, since I'm Yami certified, & have owned several G2/G9s. (I'm ezgo certified too, but their gas stuff isnt near a yamaha)

Re: Yamaha powered 2 in 1 project
I use to race yamarhammers in the dirt but never had a cart with a Yamaha motor. I've heard several a people say they beat the ezgo motors hands down. The wiring is a bit of a mess, but it's obvious it's been messed with. So, if the gm hei conversion works, I'm going to strip all the wiring from end to end and put a fuse block in and wire it all myself. I may be a glutton for punishment 😂
