Carryall I shakes violently in forward and reverse

[chevygirl85]

Hello everyone, I am new to this site and I am hoping that you guys can help me

I work for a college and we have 3 club car carryall I gasoline powered golf carts and I am starting to have so serious problems with one of them. I am not sure the year of this model but the serial code is FG9627-506814.

Just the other day I was told that it didn't seem to be running right so I went to inspect it and just getting the engine running at idle it idles a little rough..then proceeding to push on the gas more and get it moving; it lurches forward (not sure if that's normal or not?) like there is no middle point just idle and extremely fast! and not even going 5 MPH it shakes so violently that I can't imagine trying to take it any faster as I'm afraid it will fall apart right there on the spot on me lol...

I am brand new at working on these club cars or any golf cart for that matter and just wondering if maybe there is a common problem with these or if someone might be able to point me in the right direction so I can diagnose this cart properly.

Thank you in advance for anyone who takes the time to read and respond!
