Default G8a Hard Starting problem

new poster here The problem I have is that my cart has starting trouble. It cranks over but must be choked all the time . After it warms up for a few minutes it 5 or more it seems to run ok , but if you stop, it has to crank it for about 45 seconds before it fires . Seems like the cranking time is eccessive after it is warmed up . Also seems to start better in reverse than forward. Anybody got any suggestions?

Welcome to BGW Jeff.

Not knowing where you are with maintenance on the cart, let's start at the beginning. Air filter, fuel filter, spark plug, airbox sealed tight, good gas. Let us know what you have done.

Check the plastic spacer between the carb and engine. Sounds like it may be cracked.

Welcome to BGW! Sounds like classic air leak.
