@camarojoe982 ive heard some places are puttin 30 and 40 percent when theyre only supposed to use 10%. ive also heard it sits up for a long time before its mixed with the gas so it goes bad but those could be rumors. i just tell everybody not to use it. theres only 1 gas station round here that provides non ethanol any more and thats only in the higher octanes.
@camarojoe982 ill warn you any small engine like this leaf blower or your go kart DO NOT put ethanol gas in it! thats what it does clog carbs and gum up in the fuel lines. at gas pumps where it says 10% ethanol dont get it for any vehicle with a carb. car small motor it dont matter. something with fuel injection or something thats run almost daily is ok but anything else itll screw u up. idk where you live but places round here have NO ETHANOL signs out front if they provide it.
@69dodgechargerrt1 ya i see where your comin from this ethanol stuff is rediculous. its more expensive, is worse on the environment and doesnt increase your gas mileage by much.
thanks for the help. i compression tested it and it got around 150 pounds. i took apart the carb and found out it has a bad needle and seat. it floods all the time. i have a spare carb that is too clogged. but the needle and seat is still good so i will use that one. thank you!!
your carburetor may need a new carb kit. turn out the H screw 1/8" of a turn and the L screw as well. also check the compression on it, u can see how to do that in my latest videos, take care

no already tried it the only way I can get it to get even close to working is with throttle. Needs new needle& seat

Don't give it any throttle dude, that's your problem. You are the one flooding it. Just choke and pull, it doesn't need throttle to start.
