Howdy y'all new to this and I'm desperately need help figuring out what's going on with my son's go kart🤯.

Hi y'all I'm a single mom in Ohio with three boys my oldest son has a dingo manco with a Briggs 5 hp motor that will not stay running. Checked air filter bc it was puttering like it wasn't getting enuf air. That's not the problem. I've read a bunch of things not sure what to tell the boy ATM it's to cold for me outside I have no issues turning a wrench but being pregnant and 10 degrees out that I can't do. We've been messing with this thing for couple months and can't get it right. Anyone have any ideas as soon as he pushed on the gas pedal it made it 5 ft and shut off.

What are the model numbers off the briggs?

Sounds like the carb needs to be cleaned out.

Spark? is the flywheel magnet clean?

Any updates?

If my vote is clean the carb and or adjust the air/fuel mixture
