- Found this super sweet ugly duckling of a YAMAHA golf cart at my local scrap yard. Naturally I drug it home and started dumping money into it

I'm the handyman at a sporting campground and we started with one golf cart similar to that one. I rebuilt the starter, motor, and replaced the brakes. The owner was so happy, she bought 6 more similar Yamaha golf carts for me to fix up. They were all junks just like yours. I had to buy that tool, too. Replaced wire harnesses, filters, pistons, crankshafts, push rods, you name it. The cleaning ladies love them, they put their clean bedding and vacuum cleaners and cleaning buckets on the back and away they would go. It was so much fun running them that I might take up golf just to drive one every day.
My husband just saw that 3/8 and said he wanted one. Thank you for helping me with my Christmas shopping!
As a long time golf cart mechanic you'll regret taking off that governor. You can adjust it to get a few more mph out of it but until you lift it and put larger tires on it its not going to be a rocket. Check the valve adjustment while your doing a tune up too.
I’m not planning on lifting or anything, I just want it to go faster
What happens when you take the governor off?
I've got to say this is one of the channels that are climbing my favorite channels list pretty quick.
IDK why I love these junkyard-fixeruper video's so much, but I do!, lol, thanks for sharing.
Watching all the videos on the channel and this is the first time I've ever heard Matt cuss.
Some things deserve it
You have such great stuff - living my dream life - your knowledge about so many things is amazing 👍
DC. You warm the cockles of my heart seeing you being this back on this cold sat morning
Great find, you have inspired me to go to the local yard and find one for myself!! thanks
Thanks for the share Matt. Love the guy with the ball.
Good work ethic and I wish you every success, it's so nice to see a hard working man, I wish I had the energy now but I'm old and a little tired but I enjoy your videos and hope my Grandson works as hard as you when He's old enough!! Well done from over the pond!!
Thank you!
Matt slept for a week straight after this project. Don't let the occasional CZcams burst of energy fool you.
All I could think when you tried the different pullers was, - all that is needed there is to thread in a short bolt to push on that undersize one that is already in the clutch...
I thought the same thing
that and shorten the headless bolt slightly
Love the stuff you drag home Neighbor. Best thing is you fix it up and get it working to use it around the house.
I do the same to remove those clutches , I use the undersized bolt like you did but I found a bolt that fit the threads for the puller... I ended up welding them together and now have them in my box of tricks! I've made a few now lol
Great find and Fix, thanks for the Video.
this was the cart of my youth, my 13 yo self at the time did about everything you could to make this one faster. if you havent messed with it since youll find even with the limiter removed its still not a road burner and at which point it is the motors way over revved. biggest improvement is a full size lawnmower tire will fit no problem on the back gets much better traction and increases the ratio a bit. then just crank the governor screw all the way in. that actually starts pretty normal they were always finicky till moving. A carb stud pulled out of the head over the years, and my clutch failed too, but other than that it was a awesome cart for a million miles.

You have got great skills! Now I want to disassemble my new golf cart and recreate it. Got a refurbished one from SWFL Golf Carts and had to pay quiet an amount for it, but it easily one of the best ones I have ever used
Buggies gone wild is a good forum for golf cart repairs and modifications.
“Nothing can go wrong” ...failure is always an option!!!
That’s true! Thanks for watching!!!
Maxim 70: Failure is not an option. It is mandatory. The option is whether or not to let failure be the last thing you do.
Love your videos. Informative and no bulls#&t.
Use it in the snow ❄️ to get your projects done before nighttime if you want to try it you will like it 🪙🪙🪙
Nice job - thank you for the videos!
I especially liked when you broke the shive for the generator belt.
love your work Matt watching from queensland Australia
I’d suggest getting everything tightened up and heating the pulley to expand it - then tighten it a bit more....and then give the centre bolt on the puller a good sharp cuff with a hammer. The shock usually jars them loose.
I love your channel, but I really want the part 2 to this video. Keep up the good work!
I love how you just finally caved and bought the puller! LOL
I had one years ago. I took that super quiet but restrictive muffler off and fabbed a downpipe out of rigid conduit and a regular mower muffler. It needs some backpressure to run right but it wakes the thing up torque wise. We pulled a large garden dump trailer as full as would stay put with it and it would spin the tires taking off. Good old cart. I wish I still had it.
I pulled a cart with this one, did a lot better than I expected
Lol 19:06 Was that a very quiet MeatBall I just saw? Lol A little Monster!! Maybe a Slobber Monster! I really like him.. I think i might get a dog like him some day!
I have a flat punch bit that I hit the top of the puller shaft with a few short burst from the air chisel and, POP, it works like magic every time. As long as there is a good mount of pulling force, it works perfectly every time.
Good ole Yamaha G2/G9. 285cc single cylinder 4 stroke. About 9.5 hp. Love em!
Chinesium haha love that word. We all want to support the local economy we just can't afford it and sometimes we just have no choice
nope, if it ain't 'murican, I don't need it!
@brian ford
You must not need much then.
Great video bro and a neat find. I see it even came with air conditioning. Stay safe
Great find. Amazing what people junk.
True story...
I have the same thing in my Tayor Dunn Industrial Truck. I was amazed how expensive the parts were
great find.
You got a good one its a Yamaha G9, I work on golf carts for a living, you got a Comet clutch noisy but effective will work very nicely for you. Put the air box back on those engines are designed to run with a certain amount of air bet you have to run it with the choke almost closed. The tool is 35 bucks for the clutch, wrap it with a hammer sometimes they will pop. Brushes in the starter usually need replaced other than that they will run forever. That cart will last forever parts over the place ebay and the net. Nivel parts is a big one.
I ran the serial number it’s a Yamaha G2
Tim from Canada my suggestion would’ve been when you had the gas tank out I would’ve cleaned it up a bit and maybe spray-painted it and if you take the parts out I will maybe clean them up and spray paint them different colours just so it looks different
Awesome find !!
You have found the neatest things lately,& not have a lot of money in!
I like em cheap!
What a great opening 😂😂😂
Rattle can paint job coming right up
17:05 "Oh look a dime!" lmao the junkyard paid YOU to take it away 😂
If it’s later model, it probably could use the valves being adjusted. Easy to do,and definitely a power increase. Kawasaki engines are good lasting. But most people don’t know about the adjustable rockers, until it’s too late, or problems with the starter and the major power loss. I’m figuring Matt, you probably already know about this. Just trying to help you out.
Amazing it took breaking a pulley and even after that boogering up the shaft with a pipe wrench how to prove that you had to get the right tool for the job amazing Matt I knew you'd get it though. I would say that was a pretty good deal for the money oh, a little tune up and a paint job and you can probably sell that sucker pretty quick. Stay safe and stay well and as always God bless
@Jerry Brown well Jerry you're wrong about being a Democrat and what I meant by boogering up the shaft with a pipe wrench is normally he probably put something around the shaft to keep from buggering it up although it doesn't matter it was a throwaway anyhow but there was a chip out of the pulley which was a throwaway obviously he knew he was doing it the wrong way from the get-go which does not surprise me he has done that in other videos like the cheap bush hog he knew he should have went over it when he didn't but it's all good that's what good CZcams is about comments replies basically I was just busting his balls because he knew he was doing it wrong anyway and you have to bust my balls because I said something about it so I guess it's all about busting balls at least I'm glad you have his back or at least you think you have his back cheers to you on that stay safe stay well and as always God bless PS I watches videos because I like the content not because I like to bust his balls
Great choice on the old bolt, i got screwed once by using a new bolt.🤣
What a sweet find!
Wish my dump would sell items but once something goes in there they keep it and bury it.
Hi Matt - did You make a part 2 on this?? Love Your channel!
Junkyard golf cart rescue. 😀
I was looking forward to the carb adjustment. Hope it’s in part 2.
It will be if I ever get there, I’ve had some other more important projects taking up my time. But I’ll get to working on this again soon I hope. Thanks for watching!
Looks like an excellent candidate for a Rust-Oleum white paint job
I’m thinking of using the left over red from the dump truck on it!
It sure is beautiful in your neighborhood.
Should have put some hose clamps on that new fuel line! Haha!
And the roadside find king is born.
Muy buen arreglo de tu carrito de golf y muy, muy barato,.-
I’ve got the same cart. It’s a Yamaha G2. I found mine for $200 and I’ve put a bunch of money into it! Drive clutch an electric fuel pump and the high torque kit for the driven pulley. I’ve got an old video of it on CZcams I’ll get an updated one up soon. They’re super fun project carts. I put super lug tractor tires on mine and it does some insane hill climbs now and goes thru a good foot of mud. These Yamahas are tanks.
There's a throttle control on these you see today. It should be the same system on this one but you can take a stick and pry it wide open or take a piece of string and tie it where it holds it wide open but the only problem with that is you only have 2 speeds and that's stop and haul ass. There's not much in between.
That's perfect for a small town like that.
Good video. I can't find a second video on the golf cart. Did you make one or give up on it?
My friend bought a used EzGo gas cart. The oil filter was located such, that it was impossible to get off! Only a tiny amount of room to swing the ratchet wrench.
Shoulda bought a yamaha! Thanks for watching!!
The entrance was hilarious
Hose clamps man. The fuel will swell the rubber in time and iui t will leak again
thanks ive since added them. thanks for watching!
I was cringing at that, "I got some new fuel line and..." Me shouting at the screen: WTF are you doing man, HOSE CLAMPS, HOSE CLAMPS DUDE, hell just "go for a rip... eh" why don't you just light a dart and watch it burn... Worse use of a funnell as well son!!!'😱😱😱😱
OK my OCD is kicking in... And breath in the good and out with the bad, in....out...
Paint it neon green! :D
Cool find but dude, that garage is getting FULL. 😎
Good pick
Cool golf carts new a way outta price. But a used one can be the perfect thing.
I never got one because they were too Much, this one was reasonable
Yep one man's junk is another man's treasure. Lol.
The very words I live by, love me my dump runs
Love it!
👍👍👍👍Famous last words " There's a special puller bolt you're supposed to buy that I was too cheap to buy"..., so lets see if we can get it off..... When it comes to personal tools... a 3/8's swivel is the cat's ass and people who don't own a piece of rebar 1 inch x 4 feet long with a battered / flattened end....don't know how to have fun.
After viewing the video most people said to themselves-------
" That's me!
"Been there..., "Did that...
So what's the problem..? I don't see any problem..
You work with what you got... "And if that fails.....
Why buy something if you only need it once? …, I bet that piece of rebar has a thousand stories to tell how.., how handy it is and how it saved the day a thousand times over.. I know .. I own a piece of rebar that is 5 ft long, I use it to dig post holes, demolition, chip ice, remove tree stumps and what ever else besides prying.. Keep it real brother, don't change a thing, good honest vids!
Bottom line.., They are the cheap bastids.. the bolt should have been included with the clutch assembly.
You should have tried the water and teflon trick for the clutch!
I really was rooting for ya when you go out the pullers but when you said "so I had to order this part" I just laughed laughed. At least you've got it now
with all your equipment you could build your own PAR 3 practice hole, complete with tree and other stuff as hazards.
When I play with myself I use just one hand seems to work out just fine
11:22, Appears you forgot about the other 2 starter/generator Mounting bolts to tighten...?
Same set up as a snow mobile. Old snojets even had the starter gen .
working on anything one handed has gotta be PIA...lol..Happy and Safe Holidays Mate..
Same to you friend!
That’s a cool dritbike in the background still have it brother
absolute madlad
What a steal.
Now you can do golf cart WHEELIES. LOL.
Mu OCD was killing me looking at that crud on the gas tank lol...
Did you oil the threads on your puller? Should do that with each use then clean up excess oil when done
Nice YZ, ever take it off any sweet jumps ? haha
Bought me a set of Gearwrench wobble sockets because of your videos
Worth every dime
You sure are a glutton for punishment but your enthusiasm exceeds all your obstacles. Continue on
looks like a good old golf cart
If you take the governor off don't hold it to the floor
that filter looks like a genius design
strangest way to remove clutch 1 tip cart on side 2 fill bolt hole with water part way up threads 3 find a bolt to fit threads and crank it in. works for snowmobiles too
Brilliant! Would that work to remove my in-laws, too?
I laughed my ass off. You're funner than Buggs Bunny
Shew.... someone should tell my fiancé I don’t think she realizes lol
Old snowmobile trick....take the bolt out of the clutch...then fire up the motor....now CAREFULLY use a 2 x 4(like a prybar) to push (sideways pressure) against the clutch. After a few seconds of pretty heavy pressure it should pop off
Nice !!
Is it still alive? Have you done more with it? I'd like to see it run without the governor...
That dewalt ur using must be fairly new I see it still has bits still clicked in it lol my grandkids lose those the 1st day
Now that's just some funny shit
You are very talented. How about clamps on fuel hose
Noticed the new belt.
Looks like you went ahead and put a new starter belt on.
Hey Matt can you put that golf cart or your tracker on top of the lowboy trailer above the fifth wheel so when you take christine you instead of the mud maybe buy some agressive tires to drive around your Pike peak show I sent you about rusteloum hammerite green paint to make it look sharp
