84 G1 Best way to bypass Governor?

[yamahablake]

I finally got my G1 running great, had to replace the starter/generator and it fired right up even with old gas and old plug, so I am very pleased at this moment. Just wondering if anyone knows what the best way would be to make this thing go faster. How should i go about bypassing the governor, or should i just remove it. Just wondering what the easiest and best way to do this is. Would appreciate some advice before i try to tackle this obsticle on my own. thanks.

I pull the arm off the trans, and drill the flats out of the shaft holes. You might need to add another return spring and make sure the arm stays down on the trans. Another way is take the cable from the pedal off the arm, then attach it to the carb direct. Likely there is a post here showing that, might have to make a little bracket for it. You can mod the spring in the governor or defeat it by clamping it (good temp way), or put a longer screw in there just to speed it up part way....but problem is at high speed the governor pulls on the pedal harder, eventually it shortens the life of the pedal cable with the extra pressure.
