I was debating between Power Equipment Man and another popular, highly recommended, Yamaha Golf Cart clutch company. I just had a hard time justifying the other guys almost $1000 price tag. Therefore, I sent off an email to the sales team just explaining my situation and asked for their opinion of what stage kit I should be looking into and what color spring would best suite my needs. My cart details; 2022 Yamaha QT Fleet cart, OE wheels/tires. Current mods, governor adjusted to 1/4" of threads and a GTW Mach 3 rear seat. My driving habits, primarily on the street around the neighborhoods with only a couple of long pull hills that would only slow down my fleet cart down a couple mph while climbing with my family of 4 on the cart, wife and two young 7 & 5 year old kids. Only a few times a season will I have 4 grown adults on the cart.
Jonas got back to me the next morning with his recommendation of just a stage 1 kit with the green spring. I knew the belts had been on back order for quite some time and only purchased the green spring. Jonas offered to help in any way he could if I was not happy with the spring, or wanted more bottom end grunt. After install, I took the family on a short cruise. on stock 18" tires, family of 4, governor moded to 1/4" of thread, OE belt, the cart did great pulling those longer hills. I didn’t GPS mph but I would be surprised if I lost any mph pulling those hills. I did lose a little top end, 2mph, went from 20 to 18 with the spring change with my family on the cart. But nothing I'm concerned with. I Know I’ll pick up the lost mph and more with the taller tires I intend to get later.
Overall verry happy with a $50 spring over a $1000 clutch system. with the OE belt the cart is still butter smooth. looking forward to adding a performance belt once i get the 3" lift and 22" or 23" tires later this summer.
