Marathon Hesitation

pulleyman123

I am new to golf carts and picked up a Marathon for my local golf course. The cart was free but I was told that it had some "issues". Well, the cart runs very well, except for one issue and I was wondering if you all could push me in a direction to fix it. When I go to give the cart gas, it just chugs as though the starter is turning the motor, but I'm not going anywhere for about twenty seconds, then it runs fine until I stop again. It starts better in reverse (not as long a wait, maybe 5 seconds), then I can slam it into forward to start moving. What could be causing this? Thank you.
