Hey All, I have been doing some lurking this evening and this looked like a good community so I signed up. I recently purchased a non-running 2013 150cc Taizhou Trail-Blazer Manufacturing Co., Ltd. off-road cart. If my Google research is accurate it looks as though they are being imported, badged and sold under the TrailMaster brand name. Mine appears to be the 150 XRS, but it has been "customized" and it appears to have had a rough 3 years. But my hope is to get it up and running for my nieces and nephews and eventually my son once he's a little bigger.

I've drained the fuel tank and pulled the battery so I can see if it'll hold a charge. I intend to give it an oil change and take a look at the plug next time I can work on it.

I am curious to know... anything I "should" or "shouldn't" do, before I fill it up with fresh fuel and try to start it? I can guarantee it hasn't run in a year and it may have been more than 2 years since it ran, so I don't want to do anything that might cause me more headaches later.

LOL - TRUTH!!!

And can do, but it may be awhile - I don't have room for it at my place so it's with family. They have the 5 acres to run it on, so it'll probably live there even after it runs.

Depends on a few things. Was it left outdoors while it sat unused? Were the engine's innards exposed to the elements?

I'd go over it with a fine tooth comb looking for rodent and insect nests and anything obviously amiss. One of my karts had mud dauber nests encrusted into the cylinder cooling fins--a no-no that leads to overheating.

Yes and Yes Hellion.

And... noted, I will definitely clean it up and hit the small spaces with the air compressor.
