Affirmative, but unlike the video this bolt that secures the bowl is just a bolt. I figured out where the main jet is. I didn't have a screw driver skinny enough to fit into the shaft to remove it. However, I poked a wire through the opening and it wasn't clogged. A Pep Boys mgr tried to...

Throttle...check.

:toetap05: I pulled the carb and sprayed cleaner in it but didn't see the jets! Where are they? I backed out a brass screw from the outer top of the carb that had small holes in it. I pushed a fine wire through the bottom. It had 2 or 3 bigger holes on the shaft. No start after all...

I'm going to do it myself this wknd. I watched some videos onYou Tube. I don't think I can screw it up. I"ll take pics as I break it down to make sure I put it back togther the right way,and make surw not to lose any parts. I don't have an compresser though.

Little help, bought 1st go cart- just added gas, oiled clutch as recommended, and wore out some tires before side-lined. The engine starts but the cart doesn't go! It has a centrifigal clutch and I want to learn how to fix it with my son because it will probably happen again.
