There no adjustment except inside the clutch with aftermarket springs and weights which usually only done for off road use to get more torque from the engine.
This is my first gas golf cart, but my wife has had a gas cart since 2013 and I have driven it many times. It does not jerk like mine does. Her cart is a Yamaha gas cart as well, but not a Quietech. If I am understanding what you are saying, I should try pressing the gas pedal down slower to start. I'll give that a try.

Thanks
