Took it out for a better shake down - the driven clutch that I bought for my year (pre-'97) model Club Car differential was supposed to have a counter-clockwise spring. After playing around on it for an hour or so I saw the belt was 1/2 way down in the driven unit pulleys - so I pulled it in the shop for an inspection. Pulled it apart to find the spring was for a clockwise running motor, as it turns out the only other spring I had was a heavy duty counter clockwise spring. Installed it with some "Never-Seize" & she really gets up and goes. My 7' -290lbs friend & his daughter 65lbs took it out for a spin- it pulled like it didn't know there was 350lbs in it-lots of torque. The steering is so loose (needs work) that you can't drive safely at WOT, I'll GPS it soon to verify- top end with the driven working properly is well over 35mph now.Just ordered crank seals & seat belts - may let it sit for a minute and work on one of my other many projects.We'll see!
