Eric, when the motor is running, is is spilling fuel from the carb? does it do the same thing in reverse as forward (slow)? if the motor is revving and the clutch is not engaging, you "may" have an issue within the clutch. If the motor is laboring to run and not reving, your problem is more than likely fuel related. Is this a fresh rebuild? New to you? give us a little background on the cart.... if you've had it for a while and its run fine up to this point, it cant be a piston installed wrong.... lets look at the small things first.

If your getting good RPMs and the motor is lugging, unhook the muffler and run the cart. If its speeds up and runs fast, you have an obstructed muffler or exhaust.

By all rights, it could be any number of 20 things...
