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.
I bow to your superior knowledge. All I know is that when I reach 20 mph my pedal still has some "wiggle room". I get a sound like the engine is is trying to process more fuel, but can't. Kind of like running with the choke on. Under normal conditions I drive with a light foot. No jack rabbit starts, no hard braking, no sudden changes. Under normal condition cart runs fine. She's due for her annual service.
