quick gov question

[norcalmx]

so i did the gov. bypass and it all seems to work fine. The lever on the rear end however is just sitting there with nothing attatched. What do i do with it? Do i strap it one way or another way or do i just let it flop back and forth?

[spriddle]

Either way is fine.

how do you like the bypass? i have the speed spring with the gov 10mm wrenched all the way down.. how fast will your cart run?

[spriddle]

My carts, with the governors completely bypassed: G9 will run about 25 or so and G16 will run 32+ easy.

Does this work the same way with a EZ-GO?

[spriddle]

The newer Ezgo's, as far as I know, can't really be bypassed due to the way the cabling is laid out. You can install a spacer or something to keep the spring from compressing which basically will work just like bypassing it.

I'll have to check on gettin a spacer. Thanks for the info bro.

The ST 350 I had, I just used a lot (around 7 or 8 if I remember right) of oversized nuts with a washer on the end to go over it and then tightened the 10mm nut down. It kept the spring from compressing. Just get anything that fit over the bolt part and take up the space.

chingaling......welcome to my writeup..HI SPRIDDLE!!!!!!!!!

ok well since ive had alot of people wondering just how to do this i took some pics and here are some pictures showing the way to re route the cable from the pedal to the carb....

well first you need to disconnect the end of the smaller cable from the carb. then trace it back to the gov (shown below on the top of the rear end) and disconnect it from there too.....you can throw this cable away or have yourself a good ole' fashioned lynchin...well never mind that just you dont need it anymore....then you disconnect the end of the cable coming from the pedal off of the gov arm. you gov will now have no cable connected to the gov arm at all and will look like this



now you re route the cable from the pedal behind the starter/gen and over to the carb.





now connect the cable to the carb opening and adjust it as best you can there to get the carb to open fully when the pedal is to the floor and ESPECIALLY make SURE it closes all the way when the pedal is off or els you will have backfiring....

you probably will have to take the bolt off the shaft the GAS pedal is attatched to, pull the gas pedal off, and rotate it towards the seat on notch in the shaft. this will give you more pedal travel so that the carb will be able to open all the way.



now you have successfully bypassed your stupid governor and will have much higher top end and MUCH crisper throttle response....

DISCLAIMER: do not run the cart at wide open throttle for long periods of time or engine damage can result...either use your calibrated ear hole to tell when your over revving or buy a $30 tach to monitor your RPM"s...good luck, happy carting....
