Engine Specifications
|
Primary Engine
|
Engine Type:
|
Typically a gasoline-powered internal combustion engine, often a 4-stroke OHV design (specific displacement varies by year/model variant, but commonly in the 250-350cc range for golf carts of this era).
|
Performance
|
Typical Output:
|
Horsepower and torque figures are generally modest, optimized for low-speed, high-torque operation suitable for golf course terrain (exact figures not provided in product description).
|
Fuel System
|
Delivery:
|
Likely a carburetor-based fuel delivery system for gasoline models.
|
Cooling System
|
Method:
|
Air-cooled or liquid-cooled, depending on the specific engine variant used by Yamaha.
|
Ignition System
|
Type:
|
Typically an electronic ignition system (CDI or similar).
|
Engine Type
|
Fuel Type:
|
Gasoline
|
Configuration:
|
Single-cylinder, 4-stroke (common configuration for Yamaha golf carts of this era).
|
Maintenance
|
Service Intervals
|
General Guidelines:
|
Regular checks of oil levels, tire pressure, brake function, battery condition, and drive belt wear are recommended. Specific intervals would be detailed in a full service manual, but typically involve oil changes every 50-100 operating hours or annually.
|
Fluid Specifications
|
Engine Oil:
|
Typically SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 viscosity oil, API service classification SJ or higher. Specific capacity is model dependent.
|
Gear Oil:
|
Specific gear oil for the differential and transmission units, viscosity and type to be confirmed via service data.
|
Coolant:
|
If liquid-cooled, a 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and distilled water is typically used.
|
Brake Fluid:
|
DOT 3 or DOT 4, if hydraulic system is present and requires fluid.
|
Known Issues
|
Common Wear Items:
|
Wear items typically include drive belts, brake pads/shoes, suspension bushings, tires, and battery. Carburetor adjustments or cleaning may be needed over time.
|
Common Repair Areas:
|
Carburetor issues, starter/generator problems, drive clutch/belt wear, and brake adjustments.
|
Preventative Maintenance
|
Recommendations:
|
Regular lubrication of suspension and steering components, cleaning of air filter, and checking of all fasteners for tightness.
|
Battery Maintenance:
|
Check electrolyte levels (if applicable), clean terminals, ensure secure mounting.
