Very little information to go on but possibly:

1. That's not the way it works. The governor on the gas engines controls throttle position so stomping on the pedal would make no difference.

2. You are referring to accelerating to gain speed, not running at speed. During acceleration the engine works harder and revs higher which could result in vibration and likely results in exhaust fumes.

3. Your cart is in need of repair. If stomping on the pedal while running at top speed results in noise, vibration, and fumes then it means it is not being limited by the governor, more fuel is being fed to the engine, the engine is trying to drive the cart faster, but for some reason the cart isn't accelerating. There could be many causes for this so you might want to speak with a mechanic.
