Default 97 ez go carb? issue

having issues with my post lift cart ran great till i hit a big bump after a long run (so thinking something got knocked loose or pinched?) Giving it throttle just seems to crawl very slowly, but if i hold the choke out half way it goes fine. Letting it cool off a bit and it will run ok without choke for a minute or so but then it needs half choke. Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks!

Do you have gas flow to carb? might want to check pickup tube in tank too, some times come loose at fitting, sucking air.

thanks i will check that out and let you know!
nothing wrong with the pick up tube
yea there is a bit of gas flow it seems like it isnt getting enough though(like it will just crawl then ocassionaly get enough for a 1 second boost, but with choke half pulled it runs) i am going to try playing around with the carb adjustment
i could take a video of what it is doing if that would help

take the fuel line off at carb and see if itys pumping fuel, if so than take the plug out and spray some carb cleaner in the cylinder put plug back in and see if it runs it will only run 5 or 10 seconds........if it runs your problem is in the carb...................try this before you take it to a shop.............................

When you hit that bump it didn't pinch the end of the exhaust shut or partly shut I've had it happen

checked the exhaust its fine; i bought some seafoam and put it in letting the cart idle for a while first i think i might have just killed the battery though...
thanks for all the help so far!
