The driven clutch was chattering so bad when taking off to the point i had hard time taking off from a stop so i replaced it when a newer used clutch, after 2 days of trying to get (what i think was the original clutch off) i installed the new one, it stuck a little(oiled It) and bamm takes off like a banshee....however my top speed is 16mph.[emoji107] not happy with that number because before the clutch swap it was 18 before she hit the RPM limiter.

keep in mind this thing has a lift (aprox 6") and 22x11r10 tires. i am being told it should run 20-25 without killing the RPM limiter. this is my first gas DS cart and trying to figure out this **** governor has been testing my patience. its hard to tell what the previous owner did to the governor arm before i owned it so iam kind of at a lost at this point and i dont want to start throwing new parts at it.

i tired the zip ties ...noting i tried the rod under the driver seat, helped a little but needs to come back down a little .

any suggestions ?
