Does the engine seem to be running at a normal speed or bogging down when you go uphill? Does it sound as fast as when you are on the flat but just moves more slowly or does it sound like it's having a hard time?
If it sounds like it is running regular or fast but the cart is moving slowly then you could have a belt or clutch problem. If you haven't changed the belt in years then it couldn't hurt to try that. If you haven't lubricated the clutch in years then that could be an issue. And, eventually parts like the clutch just go bad.
If the engine is struggling to get up hills then it could be bad gas (unlikely), needs a tuneup, or it could be an issue with the clutches sticking in the high-speed position rather than moving to the high-torque position.
Sorry, no good answers but maybe some things to look at.
