Take a Governor off a Club Car Gas Golf Cart

Your Golf While Drinking can travel much faster without a governor. This tells you how to disable the governor.

Steps

  1. Remove the plastic plate that is located behind the seat. There will be two screws that need to be removed.
  2. Remove the plastic cover.
  3. Locate the governor. It looks like a "T" shaped metal piece that will pivot both ways. The silver thicker part of the T is what we need to be disabled.
  4. Using a rubber band or string, tie the silver part of the T to the metal rod that is located behind it. Tie it tight enough so that the silver side will no longer be able to pivot towards the front of the cart.
  5. Re-attach the plastic plate and insert the screws.

Tips

  • A ziptie will work as well, and will not fall off.
  • Using a rubber band seems to be easier than tying a string.

Warnings

  • This can mess up your cart if done incorrectly.
  • There are many hot surfaces located around the governor, be careful what you touch.
  • Running the engine without the governor could lead to engine damage and overheating.
  • A cart without a governor is dangerous. Please drive your speedy golf cart responsibly.
  • Many golf courses will kick you off if they catch you doing this to one of their carts.

Things You'll Need

  • Screwdriver
  • Club car gas golf cart
  • Rubber band/string
