Bought my first one.
New to the forum and there is a ton of great info here. Recently purchased a 2000 gas Yamaha cart. Love it the guy who I bought it from is a winter visitor here in Sun City Az. He decided to buy a new electric cart and I picked up his used one for a less than they are going for around here. He told me there was no work done to the cart but I can get to 32mph with me and the wife driving down the street. Does this make sense or is there work done to it. I know there was a spring added to the govenor but that was all. I will try to post some pics soon..

Re: Bought my first one.
First off Welcome to the addiction and Welcome to BGW, let the weight loss program for your wallet begin.
That sounds awful fast for a bone stock cart. Most I've read for stock top speeds at most is around 18 to 22mph. That added spring might be the culprit. I don't know much about cart engines, but I do know some about small engines, and that if you play with the govenor too much it'll blow. Does it sound topped out as in rpms? |

Good pick up! Everyone has an opinion so, I think the G2 and the G9 are the best! I think 32 mph is a bit of a drastic shot at speed for a stock cart. Governor cranked with stock tire size... Maybe 20 mph

Awe come on! The G1 is the best, and I can go 74mph with me and three of my overweight buddies with 12" tires and no mods. LOL

Re: Bought my first one.
I had a mostly stock G1 over 40mph but it was a speedo on a motorcycle so not sure how accurate it was. Yeah I worked on it a lot, but stock engine/exhaust/carb/tires and all.
Welcome to BGW. It is likely it has high speed gears in it if you get that kind of speed out of a stock cart with stock tires. They will add around 10mph, I did 28gps in an old 92 club car hitting the limiter (governor adjusted up until it hit limiter) otherwise bone stock. It was a sleeper lol. Some carts have limiters some don't. I have noticed Plowmans can get some crazy speed out of new-ish yamaha not sure what he is doing. Most 4 cycle carts only hit 20 give or take with stock gears and tires and either 22" tires (& lift to fit them) or HS gears will put them 10mph faster or so. |
