    GX390 Mudmotor build

    So just a quick update. I had a hard time being able to do anything over the last week because of weather and family commitments. Finally had a bit of time and did a few things and started with the carb. I cleaned it out as best I could and I also swapped out the spark plug. I was running an E3...

    Bob, Yes, the float is about level, I took the carb all apart last night and cleaned it and put it back together. I talked to a gentleman at the local go kart shop and he thinks its a timing issue, but I don't believe it is, it will start if I give it gas and pull the cord.

    GX390 Mudmotor build

    Hello everyone, new to the forum and i'm looking for advice. I know you guys specialize in go-karts, but I figured this was my best bet at solving an issue i'm having with a recent build that I took on. So I'm running a GX390 on a mud motor frame. It has been a very reliable motor in its stock...
