Just a little more speed

[VHT]

Took my 01 CC I just bought to the dragstrip this weekend and it worked great running around the track except it's a little slow. My daughter thinks it's real slow. Is there anything to pick it up a little on top end without spending a ton or over reving the eng? Can you adjust the gov to pick it up some but still have some kinda limit? Whatever I do I want to keep it smooth on bottom end. I just want to be able to get out of it's own way, right now I kinda agree with my daughter, it's slow!

I was looking at them, thought I might do the clutch and hub deal this winter, but need a little for something right now. My understanding is on the gov, you either have it or you don't? I planned on doing the K+N filter.

I haven't tried the K&n filter Don but I have gone hog wild with the governor and RPM limiter and also tried running a shorter belt (3/4") Night and day performance difference and your cost is maybe $30 ? It's enough to get an( out of warranty) cart to nudge 25+ mph which to my mind at least is a considerable improvement on the 19.2 figure quoted earlier in this thread.. I run a tach it must be said and don't often run past 4000 rpm's with the occasional blast to 4700 or so which the motor handles easily enough.,. Make your own mind up; If you own a newer cart and want the CC warranty you can likely afford to spring for the extra 4.2mph. But if you don't have a warranty, spend considerably less than the arrogant amount of money that CC deem justifiable to gain what ?

I agree with Faster, Loosen the nut on the gov. and spray with lub. adjust all your cables to carb for maximum response. I left the rev limit in tacked so I don't worry about the over reving issue. change the belt out to a Napa Gates sport duty belt #6013 I think is the number and you will see a totally different cart.

Are you sure on that number...........


I don't think I ever replied to the other thread I asked you that on but I loved your response. Thanks for the info by the way

Not trying to hijack the thread here but had a quick question... I've got a '99 DS and I've been considering ways to speed it up. I read the sticky and i'm interested in trying to zip ties on the gov spring. If i just do that mod, do I need a tach? I'm looking for a way to speed it up without pushing it to the limits.

I'll try loosening the gov and the 6013 belt. May put the k+n filter on that goes directly on the carb. I guess on the cables, you just make sure there is no slack, right? I'll ck with Napa tomorrow on that belt and see if they can come up with that 6013 no. Thanks.

Iam 99% sure "Only fools are 100% sure" but it should be 6013 and you can go on their web site and it will give you the lengths. It is about 1" shorter and just slightly wider but the width could be from the wear on my old belt.

Doc, with your govenor undone but the rev limiter still intact how often do you hit the limiter? I like that idea and I figure if I do that (along with the belt and driven spring) but be smart about how much foot I put to it I should be able to get the speed I want for cruising and still say off the limiter pretty easily.
