How to Adjust the Engine in My Yamaha Golf Cart

Yamaha golf carts are among the most often seen on golf courses and private collections around the world, and they feature a number of standard factory settings. These include most notably speed restrictions, which generally keep the cart moving at around 10 to 15 miles per hour. You can, however, adjust your engine from the governor to add more speed to your Yamaha when desired.
