Hi I was told I have a 1981 Yamaha G1. So I purchased a carb from a company that said it will fit 1981-1988. When I received it and was going to put it on it doesnt look the same. The hose for the oil looks like it is on the intake side of the carb. Is it possible to use this or do I have to order the right carb?

Here's the deal: While aftermarket carburetors are often advertised as compatible with a range of years, they're not always built to the exact specifications of the original equipment. In fact, around 25% of aftermarket carburetors don't work right out of the box due to minor differences in design or quality control issues.
Now, when it comes to your engine's performance, the carburetor is essentially the heart of the operation. It's responsible for mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions to ensure smooth running and optimal power output. Given its critical role, it's crucial to have a carburetor that's specifically designed for your Yamaha G1 model year. I'd recommend considering rebuilding the original carburetor that you have on hand. By doing so, you know it's tailored to your engine's original specifications and operating requirements. Plus, it's a cost effective solution that allows you to maintain the authenticity of your Yamaha G1A.
For the best results I'd suggest reaching out to an authorized Yamaha golf car dealer and ordering a carburetor or rebuild kit direct. This way, you're getting a genuine part that's engineered to deliver specific performance and fitment.
