It sounds like your engine is running well if it’s needing high RPMs to get the cart rolling which is a good sign that the engine itself isn’t the issue.

One thing to check would be the rear axle hubs for a stripped hub, a common problem for that year. To check for this you’ll want to remove the dust cap located in the center of each rear hub (it’s labeled item number 108 in the parts diagram). Then, with someone else running the cart as usual, observe the center axle bolt on each side. If the axle bolt is spinning but the cart isn’t moving, that’s a clear sign the hub is stripped, and replacing it should solve your problem.
