Petrol Go Kart Problem


Bemused

Recommended Posts

I've obtained a "project" for my son, it's a two seater Dingo go kart which has been stood for a few years. We cleaned it up, changed the oil, sparkplug and fitted a new fuel pipe.

 

It starts and runs for about 10 - 15 seconds then stalls and a bit of petrol comes out of the air intake. Any ideas/easy fixes or is it a case of removing the carb and stripping it?

Take care off, either 2 10mm nuts/bolts depending or a jubilee clip on a rubber, turn it upside down and there should be 4 screws and maybe a pipe. Undo 4 screws and take the bowl off. From there you will exposed the jets and float. Spray it all in carbon cleaner through the jets and preferably remove the pin that holds the float in it should just slide out 1 side. Spray inside there with carbon cleaner and refit. Should be on a winner. If your not mechanical send it somewhere or get a new one if there cheap :)

A big thanks to you and everyone else. Did as you said and it works!

 

Didn't know you could have so much fun with 12HP. Just got to get the brakes working now :lol:
