Do not remove spark arrester. Can’t believe I had to say that.
Seriously, why not? Spark arrestors were put on by lawyers.
It’s not like our well watered golf courses are going to burst into flames.
I’ll bet many/most carts on course don’t have one. Older ones anyhow. It’s also one of the first things I did to my brand new, now one month old cart. I chug up the hills at 20mph. I’d call that a win win.
But yes, the OP has a spark arrestor issue or a clutch/belt issue. By the symptoms, I’d say it’s a clogged spark arrestor.
