Yamaha G8 - Running Rough
I just picked up a Yamaha G8 fairly cheap from someone. When you first take off it will run sluggishly and potentially even backfire a little bit. I pulled the carb off yesterday and cleaned it out real good and now it seems to not be hesitant but backfire a little bit more. The weird thing is when I pull the air box apart and pull the air filter out it was full of oil. I ran the golf cart without the air filter in the box and it runs great. I got a new air filter and put it in and for some reason it does the same thing where it almost backfires through the air box. My plan is to pull the air box off completely then inspect to make sure there's no plugs anywhere but any suggestions on what else I should try? If you run the cart with the air filter on and choke it a little bit it seems to run better so to me it really seems like there's a restriction in the air flow somewhere. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Yamaha G8 - Running Rough
So with the choke pulled a little bit it runs good?
Also how full is the oil and is it lifted? These carts take exactly 1 quart. No more, no less. |

Re: Yamaha G8 - Running Rough
I bought a carb from Plowmans and it seems to work good now.
