tecumseh power sport 5 hp

[neracoal]

before i got into it i figured i would get some opinions on here.

I have a tecumseh power sport 5 hp engine and tonight it just stopped running. It will fire right back up but if you touch the gas it dies off.

I assume it probably needs a carb cleaning even though i did it right after i bought this cart 2 months ago.

This cart sat for awhile before i bought it so the tank might have had some crap in it.

Anything else it could maybe be?

Or am i on the right track here?

Yea, clean the carb.

But also clean the fuel tank, flush (or replace) the fuel lines and install a new fuel filter so you wont have this same problem over and over again.
