How do you adjust the governor on a golf cart?

After the carb has been adjusted to proper specs and is running ok you can adjust the governor by bending the wires to either up the rpm or to lower it.

Also a better way without ruining the wires is to adjust the small screw that holds the governor piece in place. You can loosen that screw and push or pull on the governor to adjust the rpm. Usually pushing the governor will increase the rpm. You can always readjust, so you don't have to ruin the metal pieces connecting the carb and the governor
