With the governor opened up I assume it is a bit noisy at 20+ mph because of excessive engine rpms? Mine is pretty quiet at 20+ mph with the high speed gear - the engine is loafing along but not being lugged.

If you adjust all the slack from the accelerator cable it will reach 24 easily and sometimes 25. So 8 to 1 gears should get it around 30 mph? You don't have to go that fast just because it will. It's like having a powerful engine in your car. You don't always run it up to it's capabilities but it's nice to have the power if you need it. Kind of a guy thing.
