Re: 1990 marathon
the governor spring should be under the governor belcrank arm. If you are looking to adjust the cart to speed up then you need to tighten the bolt at the end of the throttle cable that hooks to the governor. If I recall the factory setting is 7/16" of space between the nuts and the spring. Hope this helps!!

Re: 1990 marathon
it is apparatus that is mounted on the diff. as the cart speeds up the shaft on that which does into the diff. will try to restrict the throttle. it is the only spring on top of the. differential/rear end. the only spring in the picture.
