Re: Scottyb bought a Yamaha
Yes, I haven't seen it yet It is a 2013 with 6/8v. Apparently the drive system is stock. My plans are to boost it a bit so it launches when you press the gas

Re: Scottyb bought a Yamaha
Removed the rear flip seat from GTW. It looked nice but it weighs a ton. Seriously that thing is like a passenger that never gets out of the cart
That allowed me to gain some much needed access. 2 reusable push rivets hold the motor cover on... dig/pull the pins out and the cover comes off. This reveals a lot of dirt and a small in size Moric speed control logically & conveniently located at the top of the covered space above the motor. See pics. I will put an Alltrax XCT in the cart soon. |

Re: Scottyb bought a Yamaha
Lucky for you that rear seat is valuable right now. Mixed steel is 310$ a long ton right now! [Sent over 8 tons here last week.]

Re: Scottyb bought a Yamaha
Removed the rear seat. That was pretty simple.
I removed the access cover and realized we weren't going to get any clean pretty install pictures - lol ! I was about to tag the cables when I saw clear markings on all OEM cables and darn few small wires that were clearly colored red and black on the solenoid activation posts. So, I flipped the Run/Tow switch and grabbed a few sockets and small Makita nut driver. I was immediately impressed with how easy it was to remove the original Moric control and solenoid. I wish I could say the same for the Alltrax install but is was not without a few small challenges. Nothing serious but certainly a bit harder than any Ezgo install. But there was no cutting or drilling needed for 400/200 combo which makes it easier than the Club Car. I selected a 400a XCT controller and added the fan kit. I used the SW180 200/800 amp Solenoid with magnetic blowouts. Magnetic blowout extends the life of the solenoid significantly. Any solenoid with magnetic blowouts has a big terminal marked + and the main battery cable must land on the + terminal. Previously I posted pics of the OEM set up so here are some pics of their removal. The main harness unplugs and so do F1 and F2. Then a few 10mm bolts and all the cables come off.... then 10 & 13mm for the Solenoid terminals. This took about 5 minutes |

Re: Scottyb bought a Yamaha
22 sounds about right for stock Hitachi motor. The older models (G19-22) would do 24 with stock GE motor.
