I have a 2017 Yamaha Drive 2 gas cart. The other day I got caught out in the rain. Several times when I pushed on the gas pedal the engine rev’d up but the cart was very sluggish to get going, even on a minimal slope. As things dried up it got much better. Is this something I should have checked out?

I had that, belt was loose

The drive belt is loose till centrifugal clutch expands and tighten it up. Due to friction. Poor water on it a Nd it will slip. Water is lubricant.

It needs a new belt. It’s slipping on the pulley and it’s much worse if it gets wet.

Thanks for replies.
 
Thanks for all the input and replies. I had made an appointment to get it checked out especially since it is in year 4 of 5 year warranty. If the belt needs to be replaced should that be covered under drive train warranty?

I doubt it, it consumable item, like tires, spark plugs, air filters. They will inspect it And measure it, if it worn beyond the limit it will have to be replaced.
