One thing to think about with your cart. It's somewhat common with these carts that have sat around for awhile for the secondary clutch (the one attached to the rear end not the one attached to motor) to freeze up a bit so that it doesn't open / close as it should under load. When the engine tries to rev up the clutch doesn't open right and holds the engine back. You may want to lube that clutch up with regard to spraying some lube all around that clutch's axle while working it. If all else fails it may eventually need replaced but do the rest of your planned easier, and cheaper, work first.
Ok I will definitely spray that clutch. The cart sat for 3 years in the grass so some stuff underneath rusted a little bit like the connections to the solenoids.
I guess I will use some chain lube I have laying around.
