What is a speed spring?

Speed spring holds your governor open more for higher speeds,here:

Do a search, I think I remember someone posting pix of the spring installed.

Chompy, are you the Chompy from the "other" site? Welcome to BGW!

Great picture, Thanks. It came with printed instructions with a picture but the copy was very faded and could not make it out. This helps a lot.

No problem, Its a little harder to install on the G2/9 because the muffler is in the way and I see your cart has a rear seat which makes it even harder to see in there. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Ya, Tom may "cheap out" on the photo coping of the instructions

, but all his parts are top notch

I bought new "stiffer" primary clutch springs and didn't come with instructions....so I just called him up and he explained over the phone. Got to love that.

Yeah, that's what I thought they were (speed springs). I don't really recommend these springs. They just put excessive pressure on parts that really weren't designed for it. You will wear out the govenor shaft hole if you drive a lot and your fork will start to rub on the govenor weights inside the tranny. If you really want to go faster just bypass the govenor. @GMB74. Thanks for the welcome. I am the same "chompy"

Chompy
Not trying to start a pissing contest here, But have you ever used a speed spring? I have never seen ANY of these problems.

I drive a golf cart to work 11 months each year it has a 18hp vtwin 8:1 high speed gears 215-35-12 tires and a speed spring. It is mostly driven between 20 and 40 MPH and has been for the last 5 years. It easily sees 1500 miles a year and has had zero of the problems you mentioned. It also is on the original 2002 throttle cable.

Smallblock is a pretty good size Yamaha dealer and has installed many of our speed springs, Dave have you ever seen any of these failures or problems
