1991 Yamaha G 9 Photo of Governor

Doug Hare · 02-28-2012, 05:00 PM

I disassembled my cables on my Governor because I was going to go around it and straight to carb ! I have decided to just adjust it instead, well the spring came off and I forget where it goes , I know one end goes to the cable bracket where does the other end go?? So I need a photo of one to look at so I can assembled it back on properly .
Hope I posted this correctly, I appreciate and help I can get
Thanks Doug

Thanks Spriddle !!! This should help, but my spring looks a little different that the one showing , at least it will get me started.
Again thanks for your help.

All I did is where part #8 goes into the arm you see the hole is not round, so it can't turn? I drilled that flat out of the hole and left the clamp loose. Put a return spring on the arm to hold it down and returned. Been that way since '99, but has no governor at all. I never touched the cables it works fine. I moved the cable to the carb on other carts and had to make a bracket or modify the bracket, it took longer but I guess you could hook it back up. I don't know if the clamp would hold the shaft by itself or not and make mine work.

I had my cable off and rerouted to the carb , but I am getting a lot of back firing for some reason so I though I would just put it back to where it was ?? But of coarse I forgot how I took it apart.
Thanks for the reply Sho305 !!!

The backfiring is coming from the carb not being fully closed when you let off the gas. I had to adjust my cable a few different times until it finaly stopped.

Yeah the travel distance of the cable is different on the carb, it is hard to get the carb to go all the way shut and open. Then again the last 25% of carb opening never made any difference on my cart, maybe .25 mph at top speed is the only time at lower rpm no difference. If you ever saw the ports in the head you would understand I can't even get my pinky finger in the exhaust port. The carb must be shut during starting and pedal off, then open as you push more pedal. I put 1" travel after it starts to where it begins to open carb....1" at top of pedal, that seems to work well I can idle it if I want. I set a real slow idle on any cart I work on so nobody could kill the battery.

Dlcain thanks for the advise I think I will play with the carb like you said and see if I can get it to stop backfiring ??? You have been very helpful
Thanks Again.
