Default G1 govenor question

How can I adjust the govenor on a g1 in order to get more speed out of it. If there are some pictures of the govenor that would be really helpful. Right now the cart goes very slow.

Nice call spriddle...You may want to take the 10mm nut off the screw, then you can turn in even more.

No correction, just adding to your post. Hope you didn't think I was being rude. If so I'm sorry. Later dave

thanks for the info guys. I took the nt off and screwed the screw all the way in. Cat is faster. How fast do you think it goes now. Stock g1 with govenor still on and screw with nut off and all the way tight?

Mine would run 30mph before I installed the torque spring. I havn't clocked it since I installed the spring, but I believe it slowed some.
