Golfcartcatalog.com stocks all of the parts you'll need for a Yamaha golf cart. A muffler for a G1 is $160.

If your cart is a 1982 it is a very early 2 cycle engine. They stopped building them in 1989. The 2 cycle, reversible engine only went into the G1 and the Sundowner.

Be sure the injection pump is moving oil before dropping in another engine. An oil pump failure killed mine the last time. Three years ago a crank-up rebuild on my 1989 G1 cost $940 CDN. I decided not to do a third rebuild on the poor old beast, as I think the rear end is also showing some wear from towing trailers.

My dealer told me not to rebuild it: he'd sell me a newer cart, healthy, for about $800 CDN at the end of the season.

I'd bought an EZ-Go as a back-up last spring, so I put a trailer hitch on it and it has held up just fine.

One thing: what's wrong with your cart? Is the engine seized, or is it just blowing oil around the drive belt? If the seals go and the oil starts blowing out, that's a much cheaper job, under $300, I'd think. The trouble with the connecting rod bearing is that it comes as a unit from the factory, 2 piece crank, rod and bearing, for $300. CDN.

Good luck. If you need specific information from the G1 manual, let me know.
