Exclamation HELP! Gas Yamaha Cart starts Jerking/Lunging when going forward! 911!

HELP! I hope this is a simple fix. I used my moms golf cart last night for maybe a 1/2 hour- it was running fine but keep in mind that they do very little if any preventative maintenance. I stopped the cart and went to go forward and all of a sudden it started jerking when I pressed the accelerator pedal. Runs perfect in neutral but jerks when I want to go forward. I need this fixed ASAP. This is why I don't ask to borrow things usually but she is out of town so I went to go hang her porch swing at her permanent camp site and this is the 1st time she has given me the keys. I need help ASAP, I have the $ to pay an emergency repairman but I dont know if I can find anyone by tomorrow. Please help!! Thank you...

Sounds like either a super stretched belt or a clutch that is siezed and not opening

I'm going to suggest Primary clutch weights are broken.

We don't know what year, but sounds like a stuck/broken weight, and/or a flat roller.

Take it apart and clean it and inspect it use a dry lithium grease so future dust doesn't collect.
