Increasing speed on my G29 gas cart

Jsandman · 07-28-2017, 01:08 PM

I have a 2011 Yamaha that I have had a few months. It runs great, no issues at all but I would like to see more speed. Are there any adjustments, or upgrades I can to to get there? Thanks

Plowmanscarts.com can transform that cart into a beast

Or you can just adjust the governor for free. It's a bracket with spring on top of the axle. Tighten the 10mm nut for more speed. The nut will pull the spring tighter. Or you can wrap a zip tie around the bracket & spring, then pull tight.

Plowmans can double your stock speed easily and make the cart more dependable and reliable.

Thanks for the responses. I will try the governor adjustment and see how it works first. I visited the plowmans website and would love to get a performance kit......eventually.

Wingsfan, please elaborate. What exactally does Don do to enhance dependability & reliability? How does it improve those two things? I know his kit improves power & speed, and may include a belt, so please don't include that in the answer.

One of the biggest problems with the single cylinder engines is the stock exhaust gets plugged up and over heats the cylinder. The aftermarket exhaust is flows much better, reduces heat build up and adds horsepower. So yes, the aftermarket exhaust does improve reliability.

I was only offering advice from my experience, I'm sorry if you were somehow offended by my post.

Not offended. And have not seen a clogged muffler since a G14. Just wondering what the improvements were besides speed and power (which don't really qualify as dependability & reliability).

zip tie method works well and easily removed... I only get about 23 mph with 22" tires, I may not have the spring maxed out.. but with the 6in lift 23 seems plenty fast enough for me as steering gets real touchy at that point.. don't really want to try going 30
