Anyone know of a custom rev limiter?

Did a search and couldnt turn anything up..
Anyone know of a custom rev limiter or if a MSD box with rev chips would work? My cart gets real sweet just before the limiter, I would love to just bump the limit up a bit because I read 21mph (on GPS) just before she bumps off of it. I dont need a crazy fast cart but 20ish feels real nice.

Well some folks don't recommend it but I just took the ground wire off of the limiter on my cart and adjusted the governor so she runs right at 4,000 rpm flat out. I don't often hit that but it's there for short bursts if I need it. I use mine mostly on the golf course so there aren't many places where I can get past 2500 for any length of time. I also installed a tach to keep an eye on things.
Mine will go approx 30 mph @ 4000 rpm but 20 - 25 mph is plenty fast enough given the steering and braking capabilities.
There is a section in the stickies that explains it all.

I went straight to the full out mod where the gov arm is loose but I left the limiter on. You must be referring to the first part talking about zip ties and all? Ill have to check that out.

I can't remember where I saw it, (my manuals or CC.com)
But, there were different limits for different CC carts... that maybe something you might want to look into!

Or... get a mini-tach!


I, however, have done the same as Chris... I don't have a tach, but, I DO have a finely tuned ear!

I am getting a tach but it'll be a pain to watch it the whole time driving. I guess I'll try and rig it like you guys have

Sooo is that the same as not having a limiter?

nooo! the rev limioter hits aound 3600 rpm and electric shuts the spark off, lor techn cuts the pwr off to the coil that produces the spark. the mini tach or any tach all it does is read how many rpms the engine is running, little bit better then locks ear! and ussually pretty accurate too!
so if yuou disconnect your rev limiter(which by the way bgw does not in corage do to it being a saftey device, and bgw told you not to do it, and if you do it you do it at your own rick of killing something or your engine) youur engine will run faster then the 3600 rpm, and your valve will float around 4000 rpm and then they may hae the samsh bang effect when the piston is up and the valave are down cause you over sped your engine!
wth that said i hope it helps!

So, if you disconnect your rev limiter, your engine will run faster then the 3600 rpm, and your valves will float around 4000 rpm,
and then they may have the same bang effect when the piston is up and the valves are down because, you over revved your engine!
(which by the way BGW does not encourage do to it being a safety device, and BGW told you not to do it,
and if you do it, you do it at your own risk of killing something, or your engine)

with that said... I hope it helps!

and I agree with everything ck said... (now that I understand it!!!)

(Just a joke ck! how long have I been razzing you now? you really need to start using "spell check" my friend! )

It took me a while but luckily my good friend Tokichi Yamamoto was in from Japan and helped me with the translation.

Still, it would be neat to have a limiter that kicks in at 3850 to 3900 rpm.
