I apparently bought a defective new 2017 Yamaha gas EFI golf cart. At no time did the sales staff indicate it was going to be set at 24 mph when I ordered the cart. It had all of almost 1 mile on it when I drove it away from the Villages Golf Cars Store in Spanish Springs. I kept the "GO" pedal pressed into the metal every time I could on the drive to the far reaches of Village Santiago. A couple of times, I got the speedometer to indicate 20.2 mph. Rest of the time, it vacillated between 19.9 and 20.1. That was in February and now it is July. Just the other day before I finally had to add gas to the tank (no little pills needed), only me in the cart and going full-GO on a slight down-hill stretch of the MMP along-side San Marino Dr, it actually indicated 22.0 for about 25 feet and then dropped back to the 19.9 to 20.2 range. It doesn't bother me in the least if someone goes faster than me in another golf cart - I just imagine them someday standing in front of that judge trying to use "but THEY set it to go faster" as an excuse.
