@@BlakesBuilds i've built so many things in my life and done so many unique things in different parts of the world...but i can't fix a coleman go kart for the life of me hahaha. thanks for the help and I hope to get mine running! putting in a new carb in a few days. wish i had your skills! all the best to you sir.
Not necessary but if you are going through dirt and mud, I would find a tube for it so no dirt gets into the engine. That's to release crankcase pressure, usually the tube goes to the air box.
If it starts and runs for a second with a cleaned carburetor and clean gas, you likely need to replace the carburetor with a new one. Sometimes there is dirt that just won't come out with a cleaning, and it requires replacement. Luckily Amazon sells carbs pretty cheap for these guys. Hope this helps
@@rafaelda_1goat915 it could be too low of an idle. Does it rev up if you hold throttle open when starting? If yes, and it dies when you let go, try increasing the idle speed. There should be a screw on the outside of the carb that adjusts it
@rafaelda_1goat915 make sure the intake isn't dirty or clogged. I really think it's your carburetor, that symptom is exactly what a dirty carb would produce. If you haven't cleaned it, try cleaning it. Let me know after you cleaned it what happens
@pitbullLover202-h9y if you made sure your gas is clean (I put a filter on mine in video) and cleaned the carburetor, and it still only runs for a few seconds before dying, I would order a new carburetor for it. Sometimes you can't clean the carb good enough and a new one will fix the problem.
Wooooo yeah baby! New Blake’s Builds video!
And the special guest makes an appearance!
nice job man. you're pretty dialed in for a young guy. keep it up, the world's yours!
I've never been told I'm dialed in, I appreciate that!

I'm glad you could make some use out of it!
What's the tube to the ohv housing for? Mines missing it is it necessary??

@@cosmosgaming0921 Nice! If you have a specific question about anything or want to share your project, you can dm me on instagram @blakes_builds
What happens if I do all that and it still does turn on for a sec than turn back off

@@BlakesBuilds everything is clean doe it has only been rode under 10 times and has been garage kept

It turns on for like 5 secs and when I want to rev it it turns off

Mine only runs off carb fluid for 2 seconds
Clean your carb!
@@BlakesBuilds my carb is clean idk if it’s a jet or what

@@BlakesBuildsI found it out I had a clogged jet I didn’t see but now it does when I put it in the run position
Nice
