Sounds like the drive clutch (front) is sticking. Pull the cover off the drive clutch, clean it, and regrease by hand every moving part.

Is the belt at the top of the sleeves on the primary clutch(front) with out the cart running? If so a weight could be broke.

Sound like what my G22 does when I get water on the fuel pump air filter thingy. But you say its running, I have to keep letting mine do that until it dries out before it will run.
