Default 3PG Marathon - Governor/Speed Limiter/etc

I've been searching the internet for information related to removal of any speed governing devices from the cart. I can feel the throttle cut out at a certain point and when going down inclines/hills, the cart slows itself.

I've found this video for the governor, are there any better ways of doing this?

Is there a speed limiter of any type on the rear end? It feels like it, but I've been unable to find any reference to it.

On the 3pg disconnect the cable from the governor and run it straight to the carb. Disconnect all the other BS, throw it in the trash, and enjoy the new speed.

I assume that’s somewhere in this linkage mess?

Running all this down. Are there any previous write ups on redoing all the throttle linkage. What’s this area under the muffler?

This is a link to the 3pg manual. If I ever get some time, I will put it all together in one place. Right now every chapter is it's own pdf.
