2000 G16A doesn't run but starter motor starts
My 2000 Yamaha G16A isn't speeding up, I replaced the fuel filter, carb, air intake and battery. it just sputters and won't move. Any help would be appreciated! It does backfire on occasion when i hold the choke down. I noticed when i switch gears it tries to accelerate a few inches but then just spins.

Re: 2000 G16A doesn't run but starter motor starts
If the engine doesn't start in neutral and rev up then you have some things to check.
1. verify fuel is getting to the carb 2. verify you have spark at the spark plug 3. verify you have compression If you have all three, the engine should run, unless it is out of time which could be a sheared timing key and a spun flywheel. Could have a carb issue, in that case I would use a spray bottle with some new fuel and spray it in the carb manually to see if it will start. Please be safe when test running, make sure the cart is in neutral and/or lift the tires off the ground and put on jack stands. Safety first. |

I verified 1,2 carb is getting fuel. Spark is firing. I also replaced the carb because the cart was sitting for a while, and still won't run. It cranks, and backfires.

How old is the fuel? When you pull the spark plug after trying to start it, is it soaked with fuel or dry? Fuel filter new?

carb may be getting fuel but is carb passing fuel into the intake?

Re: 2000 G16A doesn't run but starter motor starts
So I used a compression tester today on the cart and it read ZERO compression. I’m pretty sure I did the test correctly, so curious to see what I should check next. Valves?
