Buy a manual on eBay. In it you will find instructions on how to adjust the governor.

Gators are North American-made, so chances are the governors are controlled by a cable adjustment, not like the Yamaha controls which are buried in the transaxle, beyond the reach of a pair of pliers.

My EZ-Go was bone simple to speed up: just loosen the cable until it has no more tension on it. That gives it about 16 miles per hour, almost enough to over-rev the starter/generator and burst the windings, if run uncontrolled. It now runs away from stock carts on off-road tours, though. Most of them are set for 11.8 mph.

Your manual will warn you about the maximum safe speed for your engine without the danger of grenading the starter/generator. 4000 rpm is about all most of them can handle without spinning their windings out into the outer frame.

A hand-held G.P.S. is very useful for setting the speed.
