Default 98 TXT knock when starting/stopping

So I just bought this EZGO and it was really clean and looked very taken care of. What I am not sure about is this kind of knocking when I give it gas and when the cart comes to a stop. I have a video...just really for the sound. Let me know your thoughts.

It don't run long enough to tell from what I heard but I did hear a knock. Check the compression and post back.

The knock only happens for about a sec and the goes away with higher throttle. And the when I let off gas and carts stops.

I don’t have the compression tool. Will try and find one.

Roll the drive belt off and move the drive clutch back and forth to see if you hear engine noise.

Like I said I couldn't really tell much listening to video. These engines have been known to break the rod bolts.
Might be nothing

You could remove spark plugs and look good in cylinder when turning it by hand. I use a long thin screwdriver and hold it down against piston while I turn the engine with my hand. You will know right away if a rod is loose.

Might help to let y’all now it’s runs like a champ. No issues I can tell...get about 18mph on flat roads.

I just wasn’t sure if that knock was normal or not.

I am assuming you messed with the governor to get 18mph ? like compressed the spring above rear axle ?

My next question was actually going to be about that. So I haven’t made any changes to the cart. I bought it about a month ago. Here are a couple pics of the governor. Not sure what that black clip does but I looks like part of it is broken.
