If that's the case it will 100% rob your speed.

Before you do anything, you may want to get a new belt from a dedicated cart supply shop to make sure you have the right one. A lot of guys will just something close from an auto parts store and slap it on a cart.

Thats what it looks like the guy did. It looks like one from napa or a farm and fleet

That cart should have an electronic ignition on it so your timing shouldn't be much of an issue. Check your compression. It should be 90 psi or so but a bit less is doable.

I don't know your cart exactly but I believe there might be a governor plate that is sprung to hold the primary clutch (the clutch attached to the motor) from opening all the way. Take that off or at least make sure that it's not holding that clutch in.

It's probable that your carb is gummed up still or otherwise not working right OR that the secondary clutch isn't performing right and it's holding the engine back.

I would try rebuilding or replacing the carb altogether. 81-87 EZ Go carbs can be had for dirt cheap and will bolt right on there with minimal modification (flipping the choke lever on the carb and routing the choke cable from bottom pull to top pull). By cheap I mean $20 or so. Yeah, they are Chinese Mikuni knock-offs but I have had decent luck with them.

If it's not the carb then I think your secondary clutch isn't opening all the way to get your top speed and it will need replaced.

There is a plate with a spring on it pushing the primary clutch. I will take a look at it and find out if that is holding it on

I bet that's your issue right there. Drive belts are very specific with regard to length and width. Even a little bit off with either one will cause issues. Yours looks like it's either too wide or too long (or both) as it's riding too high in the clutch.
