Ok so I got this big kawi 29 hp fuel injected in my cart and it seems good but it seems a little sluggish of the line then it just takes off but then around 35-37 mph if feels like a governor kicks in I was expecting more speed and better take off any ideas?? Also I'm running toms big block clutch on it with stock driven

more hp won't give ya any more speed, rpm's, gearing and tire dia will get ya speed. at 38mph with stock gears and under 25" tires is all you'll get, i would think your most likely hittin' the rev limiter. different spring and weights in the clutch will make it grab harder at lower rpm's. Tom sells the clutch, does he offer tune kits for them?

are ya sure the belt is not just suckin' down into the driven before it shifts? if it pulls it down when ya first takeoff it'll feel like its in a higher gear so to speak. i don't remember what cart you have, is the belt new? club car use a narrow belt that don't work well with those clutches.
I found that you need to keep the pickup as far from then spark plug as possible, this reduces RF interference and the tach becomes more stable and accurate. The plug wires are very short on the v-twins, you can clip the clamps from one side of the pickup and push it as far from the plug as possible and use a zip tie to keep it there. On hot days the pickup will get heat soaked and the tach will become less accurate, but will work good when cold. I finally gave up and removed the equus tach.

perhaps chvylac could start a thread stating his dislike for the Equus products based on his lack of understanding
many dudes are runnin' the Equus tach with no problems.
i would think that Flintrock from BGW could trouble shoot the problem, he's there v-twin know it all fella
plus he's a great shot when it comes to shootin' a guy in the back.

There's a bunch of threads here about Equus tach's. I know at least one of the threads was about the same problem and was a simple fix.

What's the problem with the tach? I've used a few of them, the only thing I ever had to do is turn the plug wire pick up clamp 180 degrees. The arrow on the clamp wasn't facing right.

The Kawasaki's have a 12 volt coil or magneto coil? 12 volt will require the green wire to be hooked up to the -/negative side of the coil. Mag coil needs the pick up/clamp on the plug wire.
