Reading all of these replies I find that they omit/ignore two basic issues:
1. Did the cart come with a high-speed rear end? This will change the top speed by allowing the rear wheels to turn at a higher rate based on the same number of rpm's that the engine is turning.
2. If you turn the governor up to allow the engine to turn more rpm's you run the risk of oil splashing up into the engine's cylinder head and eventually burning up the piston. This used to be the manufacturers owner's manual. Most of the cart gas engines use an oil spash system, not an oil pump to lubricate the engine.

I can't believe how many rumors and how much bs there is about golf carts. People really ought to seek out authoritarian sources, not rumor mongers who don't know. How many times do we hear "I hear..." in conversations. Be careful who you believe!
