Throttle

[PorscheLover]

Hi I just bought a go kart from some one it had a 5 hp briggs and every time i try to drive it it takes at least 5 seconds before it starts to move im not sure if its the clutch(max torque) or my carb I think the guy replaces the stock pulsa jet carb with a vacu-jet cab. currently it doesnt even start at all the spark plug is fine but i think the carb isnt getting fuel or something. Please help. So my questions are how can i get better acceleration and how can i make it start?


Thanks

pour a little gas down the carb and pull if it runs for a few seconds then it's a carb issue

yeah ive tried to put gas down the carb and it still wont start

did you check for spark? just take out the plug and put it on the wire and hold it to the block by the rubber boot so you don't get shocked. it should be good and strong if it's a weak spark it won't spark under compression
