How to Work on a Yamaha Golf Cart

Yamaha golf carts are among those most commonly seen on golf courses around the world. The speed of these carts are generally restricted to 10 to 15 mph by the manufacturer, but you can do some simple work on the cart to get it running smoother and moving as fast as 20 to 25 mph.

Instructions

    • 1

      Power clean your cart to ensure it can work at its best efficiency. Be sure to clean the entire cart, especially the wheels and wheel wells, using a hose and soapy solution.

    • 2

      Remove the restrictor bar under the gas pedal using a wrench and screwdriver. This allows the pedal to be pressed all the way.

    • 3

      Remove all racks and accessories from the cart to allow for a sleeker design and quicker movement.

    • 4

      Open the seat of the cart and locate the cylindrical carburetor and T-shaped metal governor underneath. Fasten the governor towards the carburetor with duct tape to defeat the speed restriction imposed by this gear.
