Did you remove and clean all the jets and blow it all out with some compressed air?

I used carb cleaner only.I found two jets under scew/caps .Now that you have led me back to the carb I will get air hose plus carb cleaner and look close for another jet.I must be missing one.Thanks for the come back,I looked for carb diagram but can not find,cart is 4-5 yrs old.thanks,Carroll

I had similar problem last year. totally pulled apart the carb, soaked in cleaner and put back together. be sure to have a fine wire to poke through all the orifices.

Thanks for the advice.Too hot in florida to work on it today.94* Looking forward to having another go at it tomorrow.I let you know how I come out.

The carb has many passages, air and gas. The proper way is to have the the carb soaked in a carb cleaner vat,and a rebuild kit installed. Having said that, I have gotten by with using spray carb cleaner and spraying every hole ,orifice and gap. The possible down fall to doing this, is that running a gas engine lean will lead to overheating cylinder and seizing engine.

The bowel has to be removed to do it right.

Thank you,thank you,I took carb off used cleaner AND compreesed air and sure enough when I blow out the bowl center orifice a very small hole got much bigger .I know I had it. Reinstalled and cranked ,when gas got to carb it started without choking and runs great. Thanks for pointing back to the carb and compreessed air.I hope I don't need you guys anymore but good to know you are there to help...Carroll
