made the switch! and have questions
Well after many years with my old yamaha g1 i decided to let her go
Just picked up a 2004 ezgo gas cart tonight and i have a few question First off it has a factory fuel gauge that is not working? Anyone have a ideal of how to test it as far as what wire should shouldnt have power ground My other question is about the gov I ran the 10mm nut almost all the way in and took it for a spin. The cart seem to run great but it gets to the point where it flat lines and then slows down maby 3mph? I cant tell if its the gov kicking in or the rev limiter Sorry for the goofy questions but im new to the four stroke carts |

Re: made the switch! and have questions
gov is kicking in. loosening and tightenibg the gov nut will determine how much you fight the gov

Re: made the switch! and have questions
For the gas gauge use a jumper and touch it to the two wires on the sender if the gauge pegs full the sender is bad if the gauge does not move try running a jumper from a good ground source to the center terminal on the sender and see if the gauge pegs full then all you will need to do apply a good ground to sender. If gauge still did not move you will have to pull dash to see if gauge has a ground and power lead to it.
More than likely the sender is bad you can pickup a universal sender for a boat I believe that will work fine for you. |

For your governor also check to make sure your throttle cables are adjusted to eliminate any slack that may be in them.

Re: made the switch! and have questions
Hey thanks guys i will be working on it tonight
I was planning on a 6" lift with 14" wheels 23" tires with a 1" shorter drive belt Anybody running that combo on here? Will it kill the low end power and what should i expect for top speed |

Re: made the switch! and have questions
The 295's have a rev limiter, so after a set of 23's and getting the governor dialed in (which isn't as easy as "crank it down" because You'll hit a point where You're hitting the limiter regularly which really sucks, the trick is to crank it down until You're flirting with the RL and then let it out a bit - really smooths the response and top end out) you should be right around that 23mph mark. A set of high-speed gears will get You closer to 30 depending on the ratio you install, but that will definitely affect your low end even with a shorter belt.
My Workhorse had a 6" with 23's and when running perfectly finally dialed in at 22-23mph on the flats, a shorter belt will rob you of 1-2mph but is SO worth it with bigger tires, doesn't *quite* offset the extra "oomph" required to compensate but comes really, really close and actually gives You a bit *more* power under load and on hills. Sounds like a good setup to me from experience :) |

Re: made the switch! and have questions
Ok guys i have the tach installed and took it down the road
Runs great but seem to flaten out around 4100-4200rpm cheap ebay tach could be off a little Anyhow i read 4300 rpms is the factory rev lim? Problem is i really dont hear a rev limiter? 10mm gov nut is cranked all the way in. It run great up to that point and then just sort of bogs dowm and drop about 2-3mph Would i be able to just jack the cart up and run it wide open with my tach hooked up and set the gov to about 4100rpm? |

Re: made the switch! and have questions
That "Bogging" likely IS the limiter kicking in, if You back the nut off a bit on the governor it will smooth out that "drop" a bit and make it less annoying ... 4K is a much safer place to be, BTW - the rev limiter is designed to keep the motor from destroying itself, so staying a little bit away from that point is quite a safe bet IMHO
