There is one needle valve that screws in from the top outside of the carb that I don't understand how it works? Sometimes when it does hit it's like the starter spins faster"cranks faster" and that's the closest I've got to the engine running. If I hold my hand over carb while cranking it feels to have good suction. What do I need to try to hear this cart run? Thanks
IF it is an 82 then its the J17 engine 80-90 psi is good for them
