A carburetor rebuild might help, if you could do it and do it correctly. The rebuild kit will cost you ????? at least 8-12 dollars. Since a new carburetor is like $30 and the shop bills time at ???$75 ish it does not pay for the shop to rebuild a carb so they will replace with new. You stated your golf cart is 2005. You said you do not use it much but if you bought it used, there could be many issues. The shop will run a compression check to be sure the valves etc are good.
I'm sure there are many good mechanics around. Personally, we've been using Villages Golf Carts and have been pleased. While they work on your cart they will give you the use of a loaner

New OEM carburetors are not 30 dollars. That's the aftermarket junk. Simple google search youll find out how bad they are. Rare to change a carb anyway.
Backfires are not rocket science to fix and rarely take any parts to fix.
