Default Re: 91 yamaha g8 crank journal worn

dont want to jump all over the place on you but i bought this last summer drove it all over and thought the clutch was shot so when i replaced this year is when i discover the crank balancer was slopping all over the place wasnt worth a new crank case so i just removed the balancer and then found these other issues

I'm really not qualified to make that call since I've never had a cart with that motor.
I did remove the balance shafts from my Mitsubishi pickup many years ago though. The only adverse effect was low rpm vibration. If I had to make the decision again today, I would have left them in. The vibration was annoying. The cart motor might be a different story though.

I'm not far behind you at 49. I would do the same thing in your situation. If you don't like the way it feels, you can always look for another case. Or go BIG BLOCK!
