ok I have to ask you said it wont turn over but do you mean it wont start? A engine that wont turn over would be a no cranking situation.

Yeah I meant it won't start. The engine turns just doesn't engage.

The plug is wet with fuel.

Open up your fuel pump to look for a ripped diaphragm.

120 compression. Put the booster on the battery and still nothing.

Going to check the fuel pump and try new plugs. I'll let you know.

Turns out the problem was a blocked muffler. Took it off the thing fired right up. Going to burn the muffler tomorrow to try and salvage it. If not, a new muffler wil be ordered.

Thanks guys.

Update:

Burnt the muffler for a couple hours then tried to clean out the debris. Put it back on the the cart, no luck still won't go. Took the muffler to a buddy who does welding he cut it open and tried to take out the debris. Still no luck.

Cart still runs fine with no muffler attached. So, I ordered a muffler online. Came in the mail this past Friday. Bolted it on and the cart fires up and runs. Took it for a little run and I noticed I had to feather the choke to make it run smooth. Over the course of the next hour I drove it a couple times, each time I had to have the choke more open than before.

Next morning I go to take it for a spin and it wouldn't start. So, I'm guess that the carb / valves need to be tuned. Problem is I can't find a service manual anywhere online.

I need to know what the default settings are for this cart.

Also, if anyone has any other suggestions please don't hesitate.
