At idle and low speeds its fine its when i give it the throttle it kinda bogs out and i can have the throttle all the way open and it still has no power sometimes it will crack and backfire. it does not get up to speed at all.if i keep feathering the throttle up i can get it to a certain speed(very low speed) then it dont matter like i said i can pull it all the way open and nothing

ok, so i went out a couple hours later last night to see if it would start again and to my surprise it did. took a feww seconds but im pretty sure its because i use a pair of pliers to pinch the gas line while its not running. Yes i know, i have to get a fuel shutoff valve. As Bashan said, i have already changed my coil to the orange one. seems pretty good so im going to run with that for now. Im going to try changing my cdi back to the new one tonight. see what happens. well off to work.

ok freakin weird, just for kicks i went out today and tried to start it and bam fired right up . though i had to hold the throttle all the way to start but then it was fine. rode around a lil (remember its still in the kart) it rode fine except for when i give it more then half gas it putters a little i back off the gas n give it gradually and she'll go. not as much speed as before but that could be just an adjustment that needs to be made. im going to let it sit for a couple hours and see if itll start after that.

i will keep that in mind Dr.JR. Carb cleaner. What about the auto-enricher. could it be sticking maybe. Im going to try alleyoops idea about taking it out and bypassing. just to see if that has anything to do with it. if not im going to try and take the carb off again and clean it. Would having the air cut valve line hooked to manifold vacuum do this? I am Stumped again. maybe ill just bring it to the shop and have it looked at.

Ok I checked the fuel lines and no dips or twists or n e thing.i cut a little more off so it was a straight line to the carb. i took the fuel filter off and tried it. Still nothing. im still getting spark. i think it might be time for a new carb. wonder if it could be the spark plug itself. its a new one but trying to start it and running it when it was rough could have fouled the plug right? i dont get a blue spark its like red and cracking up.

ok so i let the dang thing sit and now it wont even start. ok heres what happened. i changed fuel lines but i think i got a bigger size then originally, i wonder if that could be the problem. maybe to much gas now? Remember i drilled the petcock so no vacuum, just gravity fed. gas in the lines. hmmm?i messed with the air/fuel nothing so back to original position. i checked spark none so i took my new cdi off and put original on. SPARK!! still no start. what the @#$%. my luck, it was running good to. Im not sure what to do now. but im not giving up. This is the cdi and coil pack i have. i took the cdi off because it would get no spark with it, but earlier it did it was runnin awesome

well i drilled out the petcock last night around 1:30am (well this morning) i cleaned it all out after made sure no metal inside and installed it this morning. gas flow is awesome. took a few cranks n a few shots of SF but she started. And guess what she idles now n she goes. thank you all. i still have a few bugs to work out though. the idle revs in and out not to bad though just like high then low maybe fuel air mixture? Any hints n tips would be great. And thank you all.
