Default 08 St sport 2+2 only 14.5 mph w governor adj

Just picked up a 08 ST Sport and I adjusted the Gov. spring all the way in. Cart will only do 14.5 mph calculated by a GPS. This adj has not made a single mph increase. What could I be doing wrong?

Try the other way on the screw? Remove the governor and see what happens?

Seems the throttle cable was stretched I tightened the cable and was able to run 22 mph.

Good job. 22 mph ought to do it for you.

Turned it back down to 17-ish. But seems like it has no torque no matter where the governor is set. The cart won't even go over a 5 inch curb. Being used to an ATV this has to be fixed somehow.

Is the belt worn? maybe a shorter belt?

It probably does need a new belt. Do you recommend one? How does your pull with the larger tires?

I have had two workhorses with the 350s one with 22s one with 26s, that from a dead stop wouldn't jump over a 2x4 laying flat,
I have txts with the 295s that will spin 23s on loose gravel.

Try a shorter belt they are cheap, you will sacrifice a little top end though.

BTW.. have you ever adjusted the valves?
