Is this what the rest of you are experiencing with your 20 mph carts?
Another issue is going down those same hills, it is almost impossible to keep it from going over 25 (if I give it half throttle, it will easily go up to 30), which by definition makes it an illegal vehicle. Our mechanic says there is nothing he can do about this.
I would just like to know if this is normal for a golf cart.

Check the "spark arrestor". It may have "collapsed" due to rust. This will definitely restrict the engines power. Easy to remove - it is on the outlet of the exhaust pipe.
