Caryall 1 gears

kimmer71 · 11-19-2010, 09:56 PM

I just installed 22" tires (and a lift) and finally clocked my cart with a GPS. Downhill with the engine at full speed = 14 mph. This seems low considering the new 22" tires. Are the gears in the Carryall higher than the DS or it this the normal slow a$$ speed to expect?

couple questions. what shape are your clutches and belt in? what rpm were you spinning the motor too?

The clutches seem to be in good shape. They seem to open and close fully running the cart in service mode but I admit that I haven't checked them under load. I have the governor tightened up with a zip tie. I think it's just revving up to just below the limiter.

So is 14 MPH slow for that model then?

I would think it should be a bit faster. but what do i know. you never know how the governor has been messed with in its life,

Kimmer i have a carryall, have the rev limiter on, the road governor ziptied with 22 tires. I get 22 down hill. Around 17 on flat just zipping around on roads.

I tried the zip tie on the spring on the pass side, no real diffence. So i ziptied the road governor arm to the shift cable. Took a couple of tried, but it dosent bounce on the rev limiter and dosent scream when headed down hills. Plus when the lil ones want to fart around on it i can slip it off and put it in turtle mode out of turbo mode!

Stock is 14-16 mph With 18" tires. I would say a new drive belt, unless you have replaced it.

Good point. The drive belt is old and looks whooped. I'll try that.

seems i mentioned this 5 days ago?

anywho a new belt should measure about 1 inch wide with calipers, or at least in the high .900's. You could measure yours or take it to the dealer to compare if you have one close.

Just measured it. 0.908"

1/10th of an inch make a big difference?

i would think huge. a wider belt will come farther out of the drive giving you more rpms to turn the driven clutch

mine wasn't that bad and i replaced it. felt like it did a lot better. that was before i had a gps so no actual data though, sorry.

hopefully someone else will chime in with there thoughts
