Default Thinking about buying a G8

Hello all,
I'm looking at buying a 1993 Yamaha G8 golf cart, The problem is I really need a 4 seater! Was told they dont make a rear seat for the G8 is there one that I can get to fit without much work? (no welder) The cart already has a lift kit and heavy duty springs will it hold the weight of 4 persons? Thanks for your help

I'm sure a rear seat could be adapted to fit but may require some fab work. HD rear springs should do the job.

Welcome to the forum. I feel confident that a seat kit for a G2/G9 could be adapted fairly easy to fit. And the heavy duty springs should be fine. It will just make it ride a little rough when no weight is in the back.

Adjust the throttle on the carb. so it will completely close when you let off the gas peddle. Make sure the little spring that closes the throttle isn't missing.

I second that mine was missing and it would do that all the time I have to find another spring that would work.
