Go Kart Won't Start - Clean the Carburetor

That's a nice go kart

Ethanol can clog a carb. First thing to check is to adjust the jet, because people mess with them. Spark plugs also foul out fast with 2 stroke engines and only cost $3. By cranking it the engine pumps fuel, and will remove any water in the jets. Water can settle in the gas tank bowl that sprays into the jets. Condensation, snow, and rain gets in the tanks threw the gas lid wheep hole. Also change air filter after 25 hours of use. Clogged air filter will cause it to overheat, and run too rich. Engines run colder with new air filters, because the air/ fuel mix is correct. No oil filter on most Briggs engines, so you need to check oil with finger and change if it is dirty. I ran new oil in a old engine for 30 minutes and then changed it again to flush it, and it was all black after 30 minutes, but now it's clean oil after running it for a hour. So you need to change oil more often than you would with a oil filter.

Can you help me with mine, ive got a similar model its the Viper KD-200 and mine wont start, not sure of the issue though

I opened up the other end with the diaphragm and spring. I think I got it in right, but not sure. What do I do?

What do you do when a couple of the screws dont have heads on them to take it off?

Muchas gracias me sirvió de mucho tu video 👍

Also I re adjusted the valve timing and that also worked and it started and ran like a dream

Where did u get that hitch ball attachment

Hey mind starting but when I press the accelerator it turns off any idea what that is

Do you have to do anything with the fuel line? Is it an enclosed system?

When you say “ it won’t crank”. Yes it cranks as that is what is referring to the engine being turned over. You meant to say it won’t run.

Nice video. Any idea why when I press the gas pedal all the way the buggy turns off

How do I check compression on a go kart ?

Hi. Have same buggy. Have excess fuel feeding back to air intake from engine. We don't have pcv installed.

after i cleaned it, gas comes out of this black tube from the side, i cant figure out why?

Do u have any idea why my go kart will just turn off when slowing down to a complete stop most of the time and it will not be able to be put in drive for like 30 minutes and what happens when I put it into drive the go kart will jerk foward and turn off by itself and this is a brand new go kart that I recently bought

Hello I have the same issue I changed the spark plug the gas and just the valves and I have changed the stator and pick up coil wire and new starter and new solenoid and new clutch kit and belt radiator and new spark plug and I have tried to start it and it will not crank over the engine will crank but will not start at all I get spark got compression and the battery is charged so I'm not sure what's wrong please help me thank you

Could you please show where all of the fuel lines and vacuum lines run to, I have the same go cart but won’t start, thank you

What kind of carburetor is it

I've got two of these carts and they won't start. I'm baffled at why they won't start. They're both getting air, fuel and spark! Even bought another carb, still wouldn't start on either one. Tried the starting fluid trick but nothing. Maybe low compression?
