To the 2nd part of your question, I have I have no idea what the G numbers mean but I suspect Willie would know.
The G number is the model series of the golf cart. I think the Yamaha "Drive", at least the first models, are G29.

Try replacing your gas filter. Especially on hot days for some reason.

Really not fair to put out a blanket statement like that from a business that services 50,000 golf carts a year from their 3 stores. If they were bad like you say they would not be doing that much business year after year. Please be careful what you say.

Those are the model names for the Yamaha carts. Current models being made now are the G29

I think it has to do with the gas gauge. It may not be reading correctly. Does it do it when you go up/down from a hill?

Yes, Willie does come to your home. His number again is 352-255-1369. He is great!

Fuel problems are seldom instant and seldom recover and then happen again. Electrical problems can be instant and recover instantly only to do it again. For instance if a fuel pump quits it takes awhile for the fuel level to go down and the power will drop of as the engine leans out. I always tell my guys to do all the things that are overdue anyway. A plug never hurts and they are cheap. A fuel filter never hurts and they are cheap. Same way with air filter. If the engine dies instantly it is usually lose of spark. A coil can get hot and do that and recover when it cools but the advice you have been given on the switch sounds most likely. I have replaced the switches before and they are not too bad to get to and replace. They are available on Amazon with part numbers to insure correct parts.

Had a similar problem with my Yamaha when it was brand new. It was driving the dealership bonkers. It would run fine to the golf course. I would check in and return to the cart only to fine that it would not start. After the fourth time into the shop and just inches away from getting a new replacement cart, a new mechanic took a look at it and diagnosed the cooperate. I turned out to be the wiring to the fuel pump. the wire fittings were epoxied to the wire instead of solder. As the cart ran for awhile, the fitting would expand and lose wire contact. A new fitting was installed and have not had an issue since. The cart was a new 2016.

I agree with you..... but there is only one business that you are not allowed to bad mouth on this site.

My problem was a pinched fuel line hose, on the engine-side of the gas filter. Very difficult to notice.
