Hi, I would like to learn the proceedure to increase the top speed, a little, for my Yamaha G1A gas cart. Thanks

There are several effective methods to explore when looking to increase the top speed of your Yamaha G1A. Firstly, you can disable the governor on the rear axle and reroute the throttle cable directly to the carburetor. This adjustment bypasses the standard speed restrictions typically set at 12-15 mph, potentially elevating your cart's speed to up to 20 mph.

Secondly, upgrading to larger tires can significantly impact speed. By installing bigger tires, you increase the overall circumference, which translates to greater distance covered per revolution. This modification can add an additional 3-5 mph to your cart's top speed while also improving traction.

Third, maintain optimal performance by replacing the drive belt with a genuine original Yamaha belt and inspecting the clutches for wear. A worn out belt and clutches can impede power transmission and limit speed. By making sure that your drive belt and clutches are in good condition, you can maximize efficiency and potentially achieve higher speeds. Additionally, consider race tuning the carburetor jetting for optimal fuel delivery and installing a tachometer to monitor engine RPM. With these modifications and practices in place, your Yamaha G1A has the potential to reach speeds of up to 35 mph or even more under the right conditions.

A buddy of mine once decided to give his Yamaha cart a speed boost by implementing some of these modifications. After a day of tinkering in the garage he was eager to test out the improvements. As he zoomed down the road enjoying the newfound thrill of speed, he quickly realized he had overlooked one crucial detail, adjusting the brakes. Unfortunately for him, his neighbor's garden gnome collection was lined up along the path. Let's just say, those gnomes never knew what hit them! Moral of the story? Always keep an eye out for unexpected obstacles, especially when you're flying faster than a garden gnome can dodge!
