FAQs

How to make EZ Go gas golf cart faster? ›

Tighten the governor spring located in the engine of most golf carts to adjust your cart's top speed. 90% of EZ Go Carts have simple springs which limit the speed of the engine. To raise the top speed of your golf cart, all you need to do is locate this spring and tighten it slightly.

Toggle the forward/reverse switch from the "neutral" position to "reverse" five times in quick succession. After a few seconds, the computer controller will beep four times, indicating it has shifted into the freedom mode.

The simplest way to speed up a gas golf cart is by removing the speed governor on your gas engine. The governor is a device to limit the amount of throttle you can open on your golf vehicle. The more you open the throttle, the more the air enters the engine, enabling your machine to reach higher speeds.

This can be done by loosening the screws that hold the cable in place. After the cable is disconnected, you can then remove the governor from the golf cart. Once the governor is removed, you will need to adjust the throttle cable to the desired speed. This can be done by adjusting the tension on the cable.

The main differences between the EZGO RXV and TXT are that you can customize the RXV a lot more than the TXT. The RXV also has more horsepower at 4.4HP, while the TXT only has 3HP. Generally, the EZGO RXV models are more customizable than the TXT models.

Newer EZ-GO carts have the words "TXT", "Freedom TXT", "RXV" or "Freedom RXV" listed on the side of the cart, located vertically beneath the armrests. Once you have the serial number, then enter your serial number into the top left search box on the EZGO website to verify the make and model of your cart!

Perform Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance includes lubricating moving components, checking for loose or worn-out parts, and ensuring proper tire and wheel alignment. All this can contribute to your electric golf cart's maximum performance and high speed.

Once you have located the controller, you can reset it by turning off the cart and disconnecting the battery. After waiting for a few minutes, reconnect the battery and turn the cart back on. This process will reset the motor controller and should resolve any issues you may be experiencing with the cart's performance.

Without a governor, the speed of a golf cart can vary greatly depending on the type of motor, the terrain, and the weight of the cart. Generally speaking, a golf cart without a governor can reach speeds of up to 40 miles per hour. However, this is not recommended as it can be dangerous and can cause damage to the cart.

Reverse Polarity: If the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the negative terminal and vice versa, it can result in reverse polarity. This can damage the electrical components of the golf cart, such as the controller, motor, or charging system.

Why will my golf cart go in reverse but not forward? ›

A key indication of a direction switch failure is when the cart powers on and operates normally, but will only move in one direction, such as backward but not forward. In this instance, this means that only one of the switches is failing. If the cart doesn't move in either direction, both switches have failed.

Tow/Run Switch location: E-Z-GO golf cars - located to the right of the batteries on the passenger side. Club Car golf cars - located in front of OR behind the batteries. Yamaha golf cars - located behind the batteries at the back - tucked under the panel.

A gas cart can run up to 18 - 20 mph and there are not many speed upgrades you can do to one. In addition, electric carts will get up to top speed faster as well.

If you're searching for the fastest golf cart, it will likely be a top-of-the-line electric golf cart pushing a 25-mph mark. Most gas golf carts will clock in at 20 mph at most. It's possible to upgrade an electric golf cart and achieve faster speeds, but doing so can be unsafe and is not recommended.

Gas golf carts can run slow for a variety of reasons. The most common cause is a lack of fuel or a clogged fuel filter. If the fuel filter is clogged, it can restrict the flow of fuel to the engine, causing it to run slower than normal. Additionally, the spark plugs may need to be replaced if they are worn or damaged.
