Bro great knowledge we have same stuff!!! Do another video if you get the chance thanks

[@keithellett4283]

What else do you need to see? ill try and cover it in the next one

[@alexfernandez2521]

The gears you installed on that rear end is that small bearing or large bearing ?

[@keithellett4283]

My Gears are a 6 to 1 ratio with a 1.575 diameter shaft, which is 1994-1997. In 1998 they switched to a 1.378 diameter shaft.

[@edclark63]

I had the throw weigt ears break due to a bearing being bad on the input shaft. I cant find a replacement. Do i need it aince im not running the governor. If so what are they called exactly. Any help is appreciated

[@keithellett4283]

you can take it out, just find a bolt that is slightly smaller than the hole and put a nylon nut and double washers on it with red lock tight and call it a day.

[@DanielHernandez-yw5jy]

Where do you buy the seals , bearing and gears because I want to rebuild mine

[@keithellett4283]

made my own with gasklet maker.

[@taylormills08]

My great uncle has an EZ go txt. It seems to not be engaging at the rear transmission now. The CVT is working flawlessly. I tried operating the linkage by hand but to no success. Looks like something is wrong with those throw weights.

[@keithellett4283]

what year is it? single or dual cable ? I have the single cable for shift linkage and I had to replace all the little springs and washers for linkage at the transaxle. check those. like a $12 fix if its the issue

[@taylormills08]

@@keithellett4283 found it to be the left hub. Splines were gone. Axle is “ok” I think. Hub is on the way. Thanks!

[@keithellett4283]

@@taylormills08 well hopefully its not the driver side axle like mine, VERY hard to find and holy sh*t expensive compared to the passenger side. good luck

[@taylormills08]

@@keithellett4283 it was drivers side. I think I got two for $75 from husky parts. We’ll see if they fit. Look to be identical part. Don’t have serial number for the cart. Taking a guess it’s 91’^

[@scottalexander5809]

What is the shaft that comes out of the top of the case for?

[@keithellett4283]

I think your talking about the governor

[@scottalexander5809]

@@keithellett4283 ya I think it is. I wasn’t sure. Nothing is hooked to it since it’s been converted to a predator 420.

[@robophobic3716]

If your going to split the case. Can’t you u pull the tubes and pull the tubes off without pulling the rear drums and shafts? Curious as I think it would be easier. Unless I’m missing something. This is a question. Not sarcasm lol

[@keithellett4283]

I believe you could, however it is a pain in the ass to try and get the axle shaft to line up and get the splines back into the locker, I actually just split my case for the third and final time to change out the ring gear to a 6:1. I just put it back in the cart last night and got everything mounted up only thing I need to do is install my new brake cables because I replaced pretty much everything with all new shit along with the lift as well

[@keithellett4283]

Ok, so the answer to your question I actually just had to do it myself and I figured I would give it a shot. I had to take my rear end back out because I did not remove my shift fork ball and spring from the case before I put the case back together and resulted with wedging my fall and spring internally inside the case so I had to take it back apart and fix it. That being said I tried only removing the axle tubes from the case and removing the case only, major pain in the ass much easier to do it by taking out the entire rear end not only is it easier but even trying to get the axle bolts perfectly lined back up without cross threading is a nightmare. I hope that helps

@@keithellett4283 what year are they for and how much are you asking? Thanks!

[@meanbean2434]

Will it hurt to take the governor out?

[@keithellett4283]

My opinion would be if you removed it, its one less thing to fail. So I believe it would most definitely be beneficial to remove it. Now that being said I have taken my rear end apart many times and still have my factory governor in place with zero issues (knock knock). I went from the factory gear ratio to 8:1 and now to 6:1. my cart can run speeds close to 40mph, I wouldnt take it apart just to remove it unless your ready in there for something else. Hope this helps

[@meanbean2434]

Yes thank you I just got it back together with out the governor and it works fine and it goes 56mph with no governor

[@keithellett4283]

@@meanbean2434 what set up are you running ?

[@meanbean2434]

Predator 670cc with a 507cam,billet connecting rods, push rods, mikuni Carburetors, Valve springs. And the governor out of the motor. All the parts are from performance 670. It might be more around 60mph not sure (just make sure you check you steering linkage if you do this so it don’t break and you lose steering.

[@keithellett4283]

@@meanbean2434 i'd love to see a video of this thing and running. I've been debating on running a cam in mine but i don't wanna take the engine out for the 10th time lol. which Mikuni did you go with? I am looking at the 30 mm low profile kit from 670 performance. what gear ratio you running?

[@MrHvacDUDE]

How were the results? How much quicker is it?

[@keithellett4283]

Went from 26 mph with the stock gears and stock Robin motor, installed the VC swing arm with the Predator 22 and mph when down to 20-22 at 5000 rpm, then I installed the 8:1 gears and we got it back up to around 29-30 mph.

[@MrHvacDUDE]

@@keithellett4283 that’s weird. I have the same cart with the vegas carts kit and mine goes 27-28 at 4200ish rpm’s

[@keithellett4283]

@@MrHvacDUDE what clutches are you running?

[@SS1Garage]

@@keithellett4283 Mine did same thing when I did motor swap it was doing 30 mph on flat ground but struggled climbing the hills on the road as well as trails through the woods . I did predator swap and it was like a 4 wheeler climbing hills and took off like a rocket but ran out of rpm at 20 mph so I ordered the 6 to 1 gears and we will see here soon how it does. It will lose some takeoff but the predator motor has plenty of torque behind it to over come the higher gearing that the robin motor couldnt produce .

[@keithellett4283]

@@SS1Garage mine would pull the front tires off ground with just me in the cart with the stock gears. I went to 8:1 gears, they are ok. I will be switching them out if I ever get my new lift kit from Jake's. I am going with the Long Arm kit but its literally been 8 months and still on back order. SO once i get the parts ill be making more videos.

[@bobbycuesroadhouse2204]

If your not using the governor, throw it in the trash, it has no purpose and adds rotating weight

[@keithellett4283]

I’ll remove it if I ever take the differential apart again
