The broken wire was repaired and the kart started and ran, briefly... I was able to rip around for about 30 minutes, parked it. The next day it started but ran funny and died after a few minutes. Now it won't fire up.
I checked and I'm getting gas to the carb, It also had spark when I checked the plug against the valve cover. It sounds l8ke it wants to fire but mostly cranks over.
I did notice I had the wires on the on/off switched. Swapped them around, but I'm unsure if the ground should be the middle of the 3 terminals or the one farthest from the on position?
Now I also have to have the headlights connected for the motor to crank. They were unplugged all summer and it was fine so I'm confused as to how that changed.
Currently the battery is grounded to the engine block and the other grounds under the electrical box are also ran to the block if I recall. I checked both connections and they were clean and tight.
