Re: 90 DS Hitting rev limiter and hard to start
Is there any difference with the governor rod disconnected from the carb?

Re: 90 DS Hitting rev limiter and hard to start
I will have to try that this weekend since the golf cart is at my dads house. If there is no difference with the governor disconnected what would this imply?

Re: 90 DS Hitting rev limiter and hard to start
In the thread we seem to have some confusion, not with the OP but rather with some of the replies. The "Rev Limiter" and the "Governor" are 2 separate things. The rev limiter on a flathead is in conjunction with the ignition coil and interrupts the spark when the engine exceeds a preset RPM's. The is no way to adjust the RPM's that cause it to kick in. Not all years of the flathead (KF82) engines have the rev limiter on them. The governor is a mechanical part inside the drive axle assembly that pulls back the final cable to the carb when wheel speed gets too fast. When the governor is operating correctly the cart will accelerate to speed then the throttle will be pulled back to a lower engine RPM's to keep wheel speed within the governors setting as the clutch set has raised the effective gear ratio.

Re: 90 DS Hitting rev limiter and hard to start
Meimk your saying that the RPMs should exceed max rpm then the governer should reduce the rpm? I cant remember what it says to set max rpm in the manual, but I set it to that setting and when I push the pedal to the floor it exceeds that number by around 300-400 rpm then instantly drops down the max RPM I set it to initially.

Re: 90 DS Hitting rev limiter and hard to start
Does anyone have any experience yet on how this works with the new Subaru EFI engines? The governor seems similar but I do not think the rev limiter works the same.

Re: 90 DS Hitting rev limiter and hard to start
Just to clarify, when you push the pedal to the floor, are you in maintenance mode (running the cart motor while cart itself is in neutral)? Or are you pushing it to the floor during a normal driving situation?
If you're running the cart motor in neutral, then the cart speed governor will not be a factor. |
