Hi. Your videos have been a great help.
I have a 96 gas ds and have the bucking/jerking issue when I initially press the gas pedal. After the buck the cart runs fantastic for a 1996. Its just that initial take off from dead stop that is annoying. Definitely spill any beverage you have open.
Items I have replaced:
Carburetor
Fuel Pump
All filters
Oil
Spark plug

After watching your videos I replaced the main drive belt and s/g belt.
Still have the issue.
This is a great running cart but this buck/jerk on take off is annoying.

Is this the symptom of a bad clutch?

Thanks for any help.

Bob
