How to Adjust an E Z Go Golf Cart Governor

From freem

Adjusting the governor on an E Z Go golf cart can help you customize the speed of your vehicle, depending on your preferences or the specific requirements of the golf course. Here are the steps to adjust the governor on an E Z Go golf cart:

1. Locate the governor on your golf cart. It is usually located on the carburetor or throttle linkage, which connects the accelerator pedal to the carburetor.

2. Remove the cover of the governor by using a screwdriver or wrench, depending on the type of cover.

3. Find the governor adjustment screw, which is usually located near the governor spring. The governor adjustment screw controls the speed of the engine.

4. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to decrease the speed of the engine or counterclockwise to increase the speed. Make sure to turn the screw in small increments to avoid damaging the engine.

5. Test drive the golf cart after making the adjustment to ensure that it is functioning properly. If the golf cart is still too slow or too fast, you may need to make additional adjustments.

6. Replace the governor cover and secure it with the screws or bolts that were removed earlier.

7. Finally, check your golf cart's owner's manual to ensure that the speed of your golf cart is within the range allowed by the manufacturer and the golf course. Adjust the governor as needed to comply with these regulations.

It's important to note that adjusting the governor can potentially increase the risk of accidents, so it's important to take safety precautions when making any changes to your golf cart's speed. Always wear protective gear, such as a helmet and safety glasses, and follow all safety guidelines and regulations.
