12 mph 03 DS
12 mph is all I can get out of my stock DS. I just changed my drive belt, filter, oil and spark plug. Is there some simple things I can to to get a few more mph? I'll also be climbing steep hills down here in SC. Any suggestions? thanks!

Re: 12 mph 03 DS
Well bad news is usually speed and torque don't go hand and hand.
Increase speed , loose torque. Do U know how many RPM's U running at WOT , Max recommended is 3400. CPP and other site sponsors also sell torque springs , clutch milling ...etc. |

Re: 12 mph 03 DS
Don't know the RPMs. How do I determine that? NOthing has been done to mod CC and I assume it's factory standard. Probably will stay with torque over speed if one is to suffer. Right now CC climbs the steep paved paths fine. I plan to build unpaved path and may have to bump up to more aggressive tire.
thanks for the help. |

Re: 12 mph 03 DS
Use a Tachometer , put the cart in maint mode (with front scotched)
then measure at WOT , it will probably be less than 3000 , factory for FE 290 engine is 2700. |
