Subaru 5 HP HELP PLEASE

[confusedgocart]

We just bought a go cart with a subaru 5 hp motor. It's only been rode 2 or 3 times. Got it home and tried to start. It will run for a couple seconds then it dies. Tried starter fluid, spark plug is fine and tried the gas in the carborator. Nothing seems to work. WHAT CAN WE DO NOW? PLEASE HELP!
