Sounds like it's not running, just turning over by the starter have you checked the spark plug to see if it's getting fire?

It takes fuel, compression, and fire to run an engine, there's no telling what's wrong with your cart and listing all of the potential problems is insane. we are trying to help, you have already started 2 threads about this problem and now you want to know what to do IF something else is wrong that you haven't even checked yet. C'mon, you could at least work with us in trying to solve your problem.
Check all wires, connections, and fuses. check to see if your plug is firing, This could be a fouled spark plug

When somebody writes into a forum asking how to fix a gas engine and they they don't know the most basic step 1 about engine diagnostics or repair I tend to want to advise them to take it to a professional ...... there is no magic bullet we can give. Search the internet and learn how a gas engine works....figure out if your gas engine is 2 or 4 stroke. See what is needed to make internal combustion engines run and then start to figure what part of the "run equation" is missing

Two-stroke engines are notoriously hard on spark plugs.. Every two-stroke engine (outboard motors, lawn equipment) I've ever had starting/running problems with, a new, properly gapped, spark plug will get them running like new 90-95% of the time..

I'd start with a new spark plug, then move to the rest of the basics if it still refuses to start..

it would be the cheapest part to start with anyway. you could throw parts at it all day and still have nothing. good luck!

You could have mentioned this, it would have at least explained why your trying to figure out these potential problem. look in the tech section, thread Need a manual, diagram, ect... It has some 2stroke trouble shooting info there towards the bottom of the thread.

If a new spark plug won't get it running.. The next step is a compression test, both primary and secondary.. The engine may just be slap wore out, or have a blown crankshaft seal, or crankcase gaskets..
