Do you have a tachometer on that cart? If not, I'd get one so you know for sure what rpm you're at during engagement. 1000 rpm seems super low. You want to be in the 1500-1800 rpm range. The G1 engine is actually tuned for more low end power like a 4 stroke and power comes in fairly low for a 2 stroke, at least in stock form. So you'd want those clutches fully shifting at the 3600 rpm mark or so. Top speed will depend on tire size and rpm mostly for that cart, so yes 17 mph sounds just a hair better than stock, usually 12-15 mph. Most G1's with some tweaking can run 25-30 mph on the top end maxed out.
