It has to be a problem with the carb. How come you replaced the carb instead of cleaning the original? If you still have the original carb, take it apart (every piece of it) and clean with carb cleaner. Try putting the stock carb back on and see if it fixed it. Maybe the new carb isnt adjusted correctly or has something wrong with it. If your cart was stalling then I would say it could be starving fuel from your fuel lines or fuel pump but I dont think thats the problem.

I just bought a 97 G16 and it was doing the same thing only running smoothly with half carb, I cleaned the carb and put it back and it is running perfectly now. I dont even have to pull the carb at cold-start now but usually do just to get her going. But it was a night and day difference after cleaning.

If it has a carb spacer like on the G9 you might want to check that for a crack.

"g16 only runs when its choked"

My nieces and nephews only listen when they're choked. I dont view it as a problem.

If you only got 125 psi with new rings, you got problems. adjust valves, seal air cleaner, then read this site, and start a thorough maintenance program on the car.
