All or nothing, poor part throttle modulation, How should I adjust?

[planejob]

I've searched, possibly using the wrong key words, but I am looking for some advice on what needs to be adjusted.

I have a 4 stroke EZGo TXT that runs great. If I push the gas pedal down just enough to engage the starter it will start, and then accelerate up to 17mph. I don't have to push any more than enough to start it.

This 'all or nothing' approach makes it very hard to slow down in a smooth manner - If I lift enough to slow down then I have lifted enough to cut the spark, and the results in a sharp jolt. Then when I lightly brush the pedal enough to get the spark back on the cart wants to accelerate back to full throttle.

I found the routine maintenance thread, but are these cables what I am after? Is my throttle plate out of adjustment?

Ideally, I'd like to be able to run down the path/street at a crawl, then accelerate up to full throttle with a push of the pedal. Is this possible?

You either have the throttle cable tightened too much or you have something sticking between the governor and carb. With key off have somebody throttle it while looking at cable/governor/carb setup. Also make sure carb throttle blade is closing all the way off throttle.
