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.

How much weight are you hauling? My 1987 cart will sometimes do the jerking thing if I’m starting from a dead stop on a hill or if I have 3 or more adults on board. Otherwise it starts smooth.

Can you duplicate the issue in maintenance mode? This is when you flip that little yellow cam on the back side of the shifter which allows you to run it in neutral. Just wondering if it will still start jerky under zero load.
