To be honest with the roads at camp being dirt and dusty in the summer the stock intake systems under the cart worry me. My plan is to eventually do some type of custom canister filters and route the fresh air like a snorkle up above the body. Main worry is sound. I really don't want to hear it sucking air all the time but the dust beneath the cart kills filters fast.A good air filter, properly maintained, is worth it's weight in gold on engines used under those kind of off-road situation - be it golf cart or ATV.
We are getting close! Need some wheel spacers, fuel lines, air filter and belts. Then we will need to get a set of tires before spring!Time to reload the parts cannon yet?
I hope so because I want to do it on all 3 of the family carts. We will definitely do a test run with one of them this summer and likely convert all. Was also worried that large intake tubes may hurt the velocity on these small engines (well the 2 stroke and my 301cc, not worried about the 670 v twin).With a large diameter "ram" type snorkle, intake air velocity should be low enough at head level that you shouldn't hear anything. Especially if the mouth of the snorkle is above the canopy/head height and behind you. Heck, with one of those you could go fording through the golf course's water hazards looking for your lost golf ball! Just like @Will L. going fording with his Hummer!
I know. I still like the mental picture of fording a golf cart through the water hazards. Better yet if @DieselSlug wore a diving mask and had a snorkel to submerge the cart with just the cart's intake snorkel and the tip of his above the surface!The water isn’t really what I am as thinking. It’s the dirt, getting that air intake away from the ground is always a good idea off road for cleaner air.
Did you see what I posted the other day to this thread for wheel/tire possibilities and a possible HD off-road air filter canister assembly, @DieselSlug?We are getting close! Need some wheel spacers, fuel lines, air filter and belts. Then we will need to get a set of tires before spring!
