I am running my go kart hard off-road. Lots of breaking and hard accelerating. It was running great for over an hour until all of the sudden it started losing power and then cut out within 30 seconds. It starts right back up but runs very weak and the most it will run for is about a minute if you play with the gas right. I did try this a few times.
Before the issue it was making kind of a steam releasing sound when I would press the gas. I should also mention that the kart runs with a lot more power the fuller the gas is. The gas was a little over half full and when I topped off the gas I noticed an increase in power right after. At about 1/4 gas the kart will cut out on hard turns or hills but currently I have a full tank so I know this can't be the issue. I am wondering what you guys think the problem is?

ing hate those carbs... Yeah- I know- designed to be compact- and indeed they are- but I still hate 'em...
Each to their own, I'd prefer not to deal with them myself. All I was saying is they tried &, in a perfect world, they work well but, we don't live in a perfect world; you also need to consider the second part of that statement
