Default 1988 EZGO Marathon great in reverse, slow forward

Using the info I found on this very helpful forum, I managed to get my neighbor's 1988 EZGO Marathon running again after it experienced fuel pump issues. However, it will not go very fast forward but runs great in reverse. I double checked everything I did and it is all correct. The pump is pumping and it does run great in reverse, as I said. It ran fine in forward this morning but after it sat for the better part of the day it will only go forward slowly. What could be the issue now? Please help!

Put it up on jacks, and check out the operation of the clutches in both directions. They might just need a clean, and a lube.

Watch this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-Dpo1GfZ4Q

Look for the smooth operation of both clutches.
