Nice go kart, and it's probably the carburetor is not tuned properly
Okay thanks... just want to also say I almost have to feather the throttle to hit a sweet spot before it like to take off too.

Either the carburetor or the torque converter belt is the wrong size

I believe it is your carb , needs a good adjustment/fine tune on it. And when adjusting a carb like that you have to take your time, it takes a few seconds sometime for the adjustments to catch up and level out.. your already running pretty fast or sounds like it in your video, before you start it turn the mix in till it bottom out then back it back out about 1-1/2 turns should be close, then start it up and tweek it from there , just remember do this in small increments and allow it to catch up before you turn it anymore , or you will miss the carbs sweet spot and have to start over.

Idle sounds way too high first off. Secondly it also may be suffering from clutch/belt compatibility issues. The exhaust system can also be hurting drivability and moved the power band the wrong way. In other words Good Luck!

Carb should be tuned for the weather and climate you experience the fuel oil mixture should be taken into account as well .

You're right Batman!!!! Actually...the proper way to set idle is to adjust the idle mixture screw to the highest smooth rpm possible.....then adjust the idle throttle set screw to slow it down.....just sayin.....

No all you may have to do is rejet your carburetor, unless you're carburetor are adjustable then you'll have to just tune it
Minnetonka suburbs, but I have 40 acres of land up north and ride the pipeline a a lot.
