I just bought this thing first one ever. When I bought it at the yard sale paid 625 for it. It seemed to run good just coul not ride it because the brakes are bad. I got it home and nothing, the electric start is not even hooked up and pull start will not let it run. I pulled seat off to get to the carb, I can put some starting fluid in the carb and it will run great as long as i keep spraying the starting fluid in it. I haved checked to see if fuel comes out of the fuel line at the carb pulled of the line and a steade stream comes out. I was going to pull the carb off but can't figure out the top two lines I unscrew them and there is a line connected somwhere in the carb its self. any thing would help. Do I just junk it and have a sever loss or try to fix it.
Thanks

 

can we say oopps. lol. done that a few times myself.

 

Yea first time posting fixed sorry

 

how did you hear it run at the ysale if you say it wont satrt or run now? sounds like the carb os dirty for sure. even w/ a dead battery the pull start will fire it up if it runs. make sure the batterys fully charged and the power going thru the cables to starter and that the switch is working. not too sure about the carb havent had one apart yet.

 

It run fine they started it with the pull start, but I cannot keep it running unless Im spraying starting fluid in the carb

 

u know this is a long shot but is there a gas shut off on it and if so is the gas shut offf on it cause this will do it to just along shot

 

Yes, and it is open and I can get fuel out of the line. I think it may just be out of adjustment any help on adjusting it would be great

 

i know with sleds tha theres a gas pump as im sure that theres a gas pump on wheelers but i dont know as of where it is or any thing maybe it is a bad pump or some thing now are u talkin about adjusting the carb...if so try adjusting the air screw i think if u screw it in it will raise the idle and if u screw it out i will lower it.....now dont quote me on this stuff.....

 

btw u might want some one to dubble check mi post and or dubble check with some one about what i told u

 

I just got it started but would only run for a minute at a very high idle and run for a few but idled up real high and shut off now wont start again
