With my FE350, I have it set at 4600 RPM's in maint. mode,
so when climbing a hill, or on flat ground the RPM's are lower when the cart is "under load",
when going down a hill, it will run up to the full 4600, so I won't run it that long!
(I don't have a tach... I just listen!)

I personally stress 4200 RPM's, because the people with the smaller FE290's will tend to do what I did...
push their FE290's limits, and their valves will start to "float" around 4500 RPM'S...
then cause havoc on the engine!
I was assured that the stock FE350 can handle it! but I don't know the limitations,
or what the RPM's are when the valves will start to "float" on the FE350,
but, I'm happy running @ 28.6 MPH!!!

I posted what I did to mine, here at BGW... but I can't find it!
I did, however find it at BU... here's the link...

Thank you, Don.
I'll get the tach and some small zip ties and give that a try.....I also have the 350 motor in my carryall shorty...
