Resolving the Unexpected

If you encounter trouble during a ride, the first thing you should do is stop as soon as it is safely pos-

sible. Do not continue to ride if you have a flat tire, if you hear an unusual noise or if your go-kart just 

does not feel right. If you continue to ride, you may cause more damage to the go-kart and endanger 

your own safety. 

After you stop, take time to carefully look over your go-kart and identify the problem. Always  

consider all of your options before you make a decision. Sometimes a problem can be relatively  

minor and can be permanently repaired on the trail provided you have the tools, supplies and skills 

needed to do so. In addition, you may be able to make a temporary repair and ride slowly back to 

your base where you can get further help and/or supplies. 

When a problem appears to be more serious, or you do not have the tools, supplies and skills needed 

to make a repair, you will need to choose a safe way to get yourself and the go-kart back to your base. 

If you are close enough, you can often push the go-kart back. 

Whatever the problem may be, always follow the instructions below: 

1.  Always put safety first. 

2.  If the problem is minor and you have the tools, supplies and skills needed to make a temporary  

  repair, be sure to make permanent repairs as soon as possible. 

3.  Do not continue riding if you are hurt or if your go-kart is not in safe riding condition. 

Recommendations for specific problems follow.

General Guidelines

If the engine was not making unusual noises before it quit running, and it feels normal when you 

operate the pull starter, you can probably rule out a major mechanical problem

First, check the fuel system:

1.  Make sure you have fuel in the gas tank and the fuel valve is set to the “ON” position.

2. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position. Disconnect the fuel line from the carburetor and  

  momentarily turn the fuel valve to “ON”. If fuel does not flow out, there is an obstruction in the fuel  

  tank, fuel filter or in the fuel line.

3.  Reconnect fuel line to carburetor. 

   

        Do not use spark, fire or flame near gasoline or fumes. Fire or explosion may result 

in severe injury or death. Do not let gas or fumes come in contact with hot engine parts as fire or  

explosion may result. 

If the fuel system appears to be okay, check the ignition system after any residue gasoline and fumes 

have evaporated and surfaces are dry. 

1.  Check the spark plug cap. Be sure that it is not loose or disconnected.

2.  Disconnect the spark plug cap and remove the spark plug. Connect the spark plug to the plug cap

  and place the threaded end of the spark plug on a metal part of the engine.

3. Pull the pull start handle while you watch the spark plug. If it sparks, the ignition system is probably 

  working. If there is no spark, replace the spark plug with a new one. If there is still no spark, there is 

  a problem with the ignition system.

If you cannot identify or correct a problem, you will have to push your go-kart back to your base or 

get some help.
