My kart will not start, what is wrong?
A. To determine what is wrong with the kart first place the kart on a jack-stand lifting the rear tires off the ground so if the kart does start it will not be able to escape damaging anything or anyone. Next you must make sure both the kill switch on the kart and the one on the engine are turned on. If the kart still will not start you may need to determine that you do have fuel in the kart and your gas is indeed turned on. Following all of these steps remove the air cleaner and holding the throttle open spray starter fluid into the intake of the engine, this will bypass the carburetor and allow the engine to start if it is at all able to do so, if it starts momentarily and then shuts off the problem would be your carburetor being clogged by old gasoline from not running the kart in a while, please take the kart to the shop so that we might rebuild or replace your carburetor, this is a very common repair.
