Lifted G2 gas cart - lifted gearing
I am new to the forum and new to the golf cart world so any advice would be appreciated. I just picked up an '89 Yamaha G2 cart from an elderly lady in town. She was the original owner and used it for the local golf course. I have bought a Jakes 6" lift and 22x10x10 tire package. After driving the cart a little around the block (street legal) it does around 26mph (prior to installing the lift/tires). I looked through the paper work and it appears she order the cart with "high speed gears".
Anyway, I am concerned this gear set up will be a little weak with the larger tires. We plan on using the cart for camping in the desert, and driving to the lake from the campground. Some of the area have a mild hill or two. I was also interested in towing a 12' aluminum boat and trailer (apx 150 pounds). I am not interested in spending thousands (big blocks) and would like to maintain some top end. Therefore I was thinking of installing an original set of gears (12-1) or the "power package - clutch kit. Do any of you think the power clutch kit will provide the torque I am looking for, or will I need to re-gear the transmission? Thanks, Tom |
