carbide going from neutral to drive lurges and dies

[tybic]

just started doing this.
when starting go kart and going from neutral to drive, gokart lurges forward and dies.
If I push my son and then he puts it in gear it will take off and run until he comes to a stop and it will lurg and die.
I have tried to put into gear slowly and the gears want to grind.
Also I tried to adjust the shift cables with no luck, although I am not sure the proper adjustment for them.
Any ideas, kids are so impatient : )

you need to pull the CVT cover off and investigate. sounds like a bad belt

The clutch is not disengaging. Either one of the clutch arm springs have failed or the variator is stuck in "high gear".

Thanks I will take the cover off to investigate. Do I need any special tools to remove the clutch? it has the gy6 engine.

You will need an impact wrench to remove the variator and clutch.
