Happy Holiday to all... I know this has probably been asked before but I can't seem to find it. I use my 2000 Club Car golf cart for hauling stuff... firewood, landscaping, etc. I would really like it if the golf cart stayed running and would idle. Everywhere I read that people want more speed so they remove the ground from the rev limiter (I believe) and remove the governor. Will this also make the cart stay running? If so, will it still die when I shift out of gear into neutral or reverse? I assume you should be able to make it idle just like a sled or mini bike? Is this right--tie up the accelerator spring, pry the governor mount loose and remove the bolt, and tape up the ground of the rev limiter- will this achieve my goal? Just running the cart for my type use do I really need a tach? I'm not gonna drag race or do donuts, or even do any hard core trail riding... anything else I should do-someone said adjust the throttle cable? Someone else said something about removing the accel linkage bar? Thanx Hittman
Club Car DS - I'd Like the Golf Cart To Idle
- Thread starter hittman2
- Start date
you can,t make it idle by taking off the rev limitor wire or the gov. they are made to shut off when you let off gas pedal however i beleive there is a way to keep it running but its a adjustment somewhere else and i have never done it. maybe someone here has and will post a how to but i think it has something to do with the low speed idle cable at the black box.

Put your cart in maintenance mode.
In the engine compartment there's a black plastic box just below the drivers seat...
Remove the the the cover from the black box and you'll see the voltage regulator, two micro switches, a single 10 amp fuse, and a bunch of wires...
Disconnect the solid black wire from the micro switch...
With the cart in maintenance mode turn the key on, push the go pedal to start it...
Adjust your idle up just high enough so the drive belt is just about ready to turn
(if the drive belt turns too much, the cart will creep while idling)
Turn the key off to shut it down. Take the cart out of maintenance mode...
Test drive and adjust if needed...
Your Club Car will now start with the pedal, idle and shut off with the key...
