Generally low, often in the 8-15 HP range, depending on engine size and configuration.
Torque Lb-Ft:
Torque figures are typically not prominently featured for golf carts, but are directly related to engine displacement and power.
Fuel Delivery:
Likely carburetor-based fuel delivery.
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline.
Cooling Method:
Air-cooled, via fan and fins.
Type:
Automatic, typically a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) or clutch-based system.
Optional Transmissions:
N/A (Golf carts typically have a single, standardized transmission type).
Drive System:
Shaft drive or belt drive to rear axle.
Gear Reduction:
Integral to the transmission and rear differential assembly for torque multiplication.
Length In:
Approx. 90-100 inches (common range for G1 models, specific to E2 series).
Width In:
Approx. 45-50 inches (common range for G1 models, specific to E2 series).
Height In:
Approx. 70-75 inches (including roof, specific to E2 series).
Curb Weight Lbs:
Approx. 400-500 lbs (dry weight, depending on configuration and engine).
Payload Capacity Lbs:
Typically rated for 4 passengers or equivalent weight, around 400-600 lbs.
Safety Certifications:
Not typically rated by independent safety organizations like NHTSA or IIHS; relies on manufacturer's design and build quality.
Braking System:
Mechanical drum brakes on rear axle, parking brake mechanism.
Steering Control:
Rack-and-pinion or similar steering mechanism for directional control.
Seat Belts:
Optional or standard depending on model year and region.
Roll Bar Structure:
Integrated into the canopy frame for occupant protection.
Lighting:
Headlights, taillights, and brake lights for visibility.
Oil Change Engine:
Typically every 50-100 operating hours or annually, depending on engine type (2-stroke vs. 4-stroke). Requires specific Yamalube or equivalent (check manual for exact specification).
Air Filter Cleaning:
Regular inspection and cleaning, replacement as needed (frequency depends on operating environment).
Spark Plug Replacement:
Recommended at regular intervals (e.g., every 100-200 operating hours) or based on inspection for wear.
Brake Adjustment:
Periodic inspection and adjustment of brake cables and shoes.
Engine Oil Type:
Refer to manual: Likely SAE 10W-30 or 20W-50 for 4-stroke engines. 2-stroke models require specific 2-stroke oil mixed with fuel.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Refer to manual: Likely a specific gear oil or SAE 80W-90 GL-5 for the differential/gearbox.
Brake Fluid Type:
Refer to manual: Likely DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid if hydraulic brakes are present (though G1 typically uses mechanical drums).
Carburetor Fouling:
Common issue due to infrequent use or poor fuel quality, leading to poor running conditions.
Drive Belt Wear:
Drive belts can wear out and require replacement, leading to loss of power or no drive.
Brake Cable Corrosion:
Cables can corrode and seize, affecting brake performance.
Exhaust Leakage:
Gaskets or exhaust pipes can develop leaks over time, affecting engine performance and creating noise.
Manufacturer:
Yamaha Motor Corporation, known for its broad range of motorized products including motorcycles, marine engines, and golf cars.
G1 Series Introduction:
The Yamaha G1 series was one of the early successful entries in the golf car market, establishing Yamaha's reputation for durability and performance in this segment.
E2 Variant Context:
The 'E2' likely refers to a specific generation or sub-model within the G1 lineage, possibly indicating an electric or a particular engine configuration, though the manual covers parts for the G1 E2 series generally.
Production Era:
G1 models were produced from the late 1970s through the 1980s and into the early 1990s, with the G1 E2 series falling within this timeframe.
