New motor/speed

Buzzfagan

I recently had an upgraded motor installed in my 2012 Yamaha golf cart (equipped with lights and turn signals and horn) and was wondering what type of top speed I should be able to obtain. Right now it is doing about 22-23 mph on flat surfaces (completely unloaded and with just me in it) and 17-18 going up a slight incline. Does this sound correct? *I was told it would go faster and am a little disappointed with such a small increase over the factory motor. I questioned the installer they said there would be a 30 day break-in period after which it should do 25-28 mph (I also have 12" tires). Does this sound right? *Is there any way to get it up to that speed if not or should it obtain that speed right away (is there a possible problem)? *Any advice/support would be greatly appreciated.*

Here is what is on the motor:

M11-2541
Advanced DC
DE2-4007-LR3.7Z1"
High speed "the drive"

I install motors every day have never seen a motor have a breakin period

2 ?
what code is the controller on
what size motor (hp) I do not use the A-DC MOTORS to know the hp

Buzzfagan

Sorry but I do not know what the controller is set on. I do not know how to tell. I really do not know where the controller is either. How do you find it and tell the setting.

I tried to find the horsepower on the manufacturers web site but it is not listed and I cannot find it on the motor.

how does the cart go now with nothing done to it. i can tell that from the speed. OPPS forgot this part what size rims do you have on it

Buzzfagan

It has 12" tires on it. Before the new motor it would do about 17-18 on flat surfaces.

swampsat

with the 12" tires and motor how fast

swampsat

OPPS went back over old post got hte answer i needed. Just a small ? how long of warranty did they give you on the motor?

It sounds like you have a bad motor and they dont want to replace it. have seen a lot of people get screwed that way

Buzzfagan

They told me to give it the "30 day" break in period first and then call them. They are reputable and I have purchased several carts from them. The 30 day break in period sounds like BS to me though.

swampsat

ALL BS i work on these carts every day M-F up grading on just about every cart coming in. Stay on them and good luck! Ha by the way what state are you in ?

Buzzfagan

Yeah I think I agree. I just sent them an e-mail for some explanation. I am in Texas.
