thanks to everyone for the last question i had for my g2...now i have a new problem and hopfully there will be some good answers like the last time. my cart runs but in order to get it to go i need to hold the choke out. also it backfires quite a bit i cleaned the carb and check everything that has to do with fuel. im not sure where to look next

the only thing is my buddy who had the cart before said he stood it on end to tighten a bracket. hes pretty sure it never worked right since... i dont know if that information will help or not. thanks for the help!!!!

First test, remove the carb to air box hose and run the car, if runs better, air box not sealing correctly....trust me I'm a proffessional

Your cart is running lean, which could be caused by several things.

As SmallBlock suggested, check your air cleaned box and make sure it's sealed well. Did you adjust the float level when you had the carb apart?

Pull the fuel hose from the carb inlet and check the fuel flow while cranking the engine. Is the fuel filter clean?

When the cart was tipped up on end, any engine oil that got into the hose that operates the fuel pump diaphragm might prevent normal pump operation. This is the third hose connected to the fuel pump. One goes to the carb, the second goes to the bottom of the fuel tank, and the third goes to the engine crankcase. Pressure pulses from the crankcase operate the diaphragm.

Hope this helps! Keep us posted.

That really sounds like the airbox is not together tight/correctly. Those rubber straps are cheap, and if the tab is broken just drill a hole and put a bolt in it to hook to. I had one some idiot drilled the airbox full of holes, and the owner who only drove it and never touched it asked me why it didn't run well. Tried to tell me it ran fine and all the sudden it didn't yet nobody worked on the cart lately. I said right. I duct taped all the holes shut and it ran fine, not sure what they did with it. They even cut a hole in the intake hose, maybe they had some 14yr old work on it I don't know....but it looked like it, an incompetent one at that.
