89 club car ds rev limit

[ninobrown]

Hey Gents, i took the gov off my cart and i bought a rev meter. Now my question is what is the safe number i should i be running it at. No Mod have been to cart just wheels and tire.

My governors are off both my carts (an '87 and a '90). I've never run a tach on either cart so I don't know the rpm limit, but I can feel when the motor begins to vibrate the entire cart. I never push my carts that far. Been running my '87 cart for over 5 years like this with no issues. Also, if you're not running a governor you'll need to be extra careful regarding who drives your cart. Even if you learn the limits of your motor, someone else will almost certainly not.

I'm talking about an uncomfortable vibration, one that feels like you're pushing the motor too hard. Difficult to explain.

That special sensation you get just before things go “KA BOOM”. Pass that point and you’ll be bound to remember it

Yeah when I worked maintenance at our campground years ago one of the guys took the governor off a late '80s Carryall one morning...and he grenaded the motor by early afternoon!
