Yes you can. I have one and carry it with me and have jump started several carts. The trick is to initially keep the cart running by maintaining slight pressure on the gas if you have to come to a stop. Its actually easy to do. Try just lightly pressing on the gas pedal of your cart at it will start and run without the brake releasing. The drive belt won’t engage until you increase engine speed above idle. You just do the same driving home, keeping slight pressure on gas pedal. The battery should recharge sufficiently after awhile driving at normal speed.
