Depending on the age of you cart engine amount of wear, bumping up the governed speed may not be good idea. usually Cart speed from factory are bumped up by bigger tires and gear ratio change in the transaxle thus keeping the factory governed WOT RPM of the engine ( this is especially important on Factory warranty. Bumping the WOT RPMs above factory spec.s will probably Void any repair costs)

Only you know the condition of the engine and will it take the couple hundred extra RPMs at WOT. You need to know how fast it goes after the adjustment as noted several hundred times on this subject do NOT exceed 20 MPH that includes going down hill.
