First, I did search and found an older thread that reads identical to my issue , except the kart has not been rolled or wrecked.
Yerf dog 3203, Tecumseh 6.5 OHV, stumbles over itself over bumps.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t end with a conclusive fix. Several Google search results from other sites offer the same - no smoking gun. But often it comes up the 6.5 as having this stumbling over bumps issue. What was the difference in the 5.0, 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5 OHV engines?
The carb is CLEAN. It starts easy, idles great, no smoke, no knock, and launches like a banshee until you hit a bump. I have tried three different float settings, perpendicular to the carb, closer to it and farther from it all yielding the same result.
I will likely end up with the almighty 212 when they put them on sale, but with the block being in great shape I have a hard time ditching a whole motor. I could try an Amazon carb, but if it does the same nonsense again it’s wasted time and money, both of which are in short supply.
Edit: Interestingly after we bought it we had 5-6 rides with NO issues like this, almost as if the few tanks of fresh fuel moved something around, but the fact it’s tied to bumps is a mystery.
Thanks!!

Engine cuts out over bumpy terrain...
I hope that I am posting this question in the right place. I have a Yerf Dog 3203 that a friend gave to our family. It has a Tecumseh 6.5 hp OHH65 engine. It ran pretty well except when you hit bumpy terrain...then it would briefly stall and then catch and fire back up fine. It was...
