More than likely the carb needs to be removed and cleaned. The jets, emulsion tube, check the fuel filter in the tank, make sure the carb is tight or the carb base gasket isn't torn or missing. Check for a kinked or restricted fuel hose. It will need choked to start cold but not once it's warmed up.

If there's debris in the tank, remove the fuel line at the carb and run some fuel through the tank into a can or bottle. Add an inline fuel filter if there's room.

Maybe pull the carb & clean it in the basement if you won't stink the house up with fumes. Don't get sick in the 96 degree heat.

No, you will need to get one from Gokart Supply, Go Power Sports, MFG Supply or BMI or one of the other venders. They are expensive but will outlast many many chineseum belts. Gokart Supply has a pictorial and instructions on how to measure for a correct belt.
