When it comes to troubleshooting the Club Car RPM Limiter, the name can be misleading. Don't get us wrong; this unit does what it's supposed to, restricts your speed, so the engine does not blow up. Sounds vital, right? Well, let the experts at Buggies Unlimited assure you that you would be right in that assumption. However, when it goes awry, your cart won't just take off doing break-neck speeds until it blows up. The people at Ingersoll Rand are way more intelligent than that. Your golf cart stops running before anything serious can fail.
Now you probably have heard that you can disconnect a wire and make it run; we're not going to get into that because it's for testing purposes only, and it is not safe to leave as a permanent solution. Your golf cart's starter is capable of charging at almost 20 volts. That would blow up your battery if left unchecked. This unit makes sure that does not happen. The proper way to get a problem with your Club Car RPM Limiter fixed is to call Buggies Unlimited, talk to tech to verify, and get one coming today.
Yes. This will stop the spark at the plug, just like you turned off the key. Sometimes it will run and then just quit. The cart that I bought had been in the shop numerous times and they could not fix it. This will act just like a bad coil.
The limiter controls engine RPM so it won't over rev and damage the engine. There is also a mechanical governor which is adjustable. If the RPM limiter fails (usually due to overheating) you should replace it. I have disconnected some by cutting the brown ground wire. If you do that you will be OK so long as you do NOT increase RPM by adjusting mechanical governor.
My 2003 ds would do this every now and then. Then it started cutting off at random. After sitting for a few minutes or so it would crank and run again. I unhooked the rev limiter. That didn’t do anything. I put a new coil in it and it runs better than ever.
Should have no effect on spark.
I do not remember, but it has been working for over a year so it must be made fairly good.
