Re: engine won't idle
changing the carb is Not where you want to start. That is sort of a last resort. Lots of things could be causing this. Give us a little more history and some running info. When it is not idling does it run perfect? Is it setup to run until you turn the key off? Is the idle stop screw backed all the way out and that is why it won't idle? your going to have to help on this.

Re: engine won't idle
If it works at higher rpms it maybe the jet clogged.

Re: engine won't idle
well it seems to run ok i guess the rest of the time. every now and then it my sputter a little bit, however when does idle its like the carb is loading up and will shut off. If you idle it up a lot i won't do it. Im just kinda lost with all of this stuff right now i just got this cart from a friend. so im still learning

Re: engine won't idle
Is the drive belt dragging and keeping it from idling?
