Throttle cable is likely your problem, it should be adjusted (at pedal usually) so the switch goes on and the top of the pedal moves about 1" in before the carb on engine starts to open.

A lot of people like to crank the throttle cable up tight to get more speed, but you adjust the governor for speed not the cable. Long as the pedal will open the carb all the way that is good enough.

With that 1" play in the pedal if you get used to it, you can set the carb to idle at a slow idle just above the starter speed and if you get the mix right, it will start and idle with your foot just pressing the pedal and the cart will not really move unless the belt is dragging a lot.
