Was it the throttle cable or throttle pedal spring ? There was a vintage of Yamaha carts around 2012 which had defective springs. I had one and your failure mode it exactly what I experience - bang and all. I fixed it myself. To my surprise I went to the Villages Cart store and asked for the spring. They came out with a beefier one - said it was an upgrade. Asked them how much. Answer was free it is a Yamaha recall.
