First thing to look for is a bad or loose connection which will cause resistance = heat.
Some more info would be good. What year what drive system what tires what control or all stock? |

A stock drive system won't do 22 inch tires forever.
Is the connection loose? Which drive system does the cart have? |

it's a non PDS cart cable seems tight on motor but the covering on the cable is burning off. Could it be the motor going bad?

Is the motor getting hot too, or just the cable and connection point? These motors are pretty sturdy, everything presented leads to a bad cable, either the lug or the wire itself. Easy fix is to switch the cable with one of the others and see if the problem moves with the cable. Be sure to switch both ends of the cables, or bad mojo may rise.

ok I will change the cables and see if the problem moves to the other lug. Or do you think I should just replace the cable all together?

If you would replace one spark plug in a car then replace one cable on the cart
