There are several golf cart services that will come to your house to service your cart. Our old (1996 vintage) Yamaha cart had been modified with a "hi speed" gear and would do 26 MPH (using a GPS based speedometer). I had Todd Casey out to do some brake work and asked him if he could dial back the speed, i had tried this myself (you tube videos) with little luck. As it turns out there was a apparently a failure of the speed regulating device in the differential. I was told this was a several hundred dollar repair. We sold the cart to the guy who buys golf carts and bought a refurbished one that is set for 19.9 MPH. As stated above, I like being legal.

OP if you do a search there was a recent thread on golf cart repair that had both Todd Casey and another gentlemen listed with contact info.
