It was hard to start before I left their shop with it. I've never had an issue with it. I had them install new carb jets, check the valves/adjust if necessary, and install a performance CDI. Left specific instructions my goal was to make as much power as possible. They also claimed to have changed the spark plug but it was very black and soot-y when I changed it after getting it home. It did run better but not really great.
I had another one in there at the same time for my niece and they took forever to get them both ready (2 months). Also it's an hour one way and there's no one closer that deals with chinese go karts. That's why I'm trying to find out what's wrong on my own.
My thoughts are it's the carb. I've had to idle it way up to just get it run barely without having to give it gas. It's very hard to start and barely stays running unless you give it gas. It sounds like utter crap imo, the exhaust note isn't right. The choke may be a problem too, cable seems stiff to pull.
It's a PD24J carb. It's supposed to be jetted 40-120. Looking for tips on how to tune it myself, a diagram as far as what screw does what, or any other things to check. There's no need to check spark I think, I've actually rode it for 5 or 6 miles since getting it back from the shop.
