My go cart wont start i have compression, spark and it sounds like it wants to go but it doesn't. It's been sitting for about 4 years I changed fuel, cleaned out carb and used starting fluid and still isn't kicking. I pulled it so many time the wheel in the recoil has broken and the spring is worn. Anyone know how to get my engine started and maybe where I can find the wheel where the rope sits in the recoil assembly and spring. I am willing to buy the hole assembly if needed.

they pretty easy to work on not but a few moving parts easy to rebulid and cheap to run.... or race.... i dont have any of my old links but im sure you can find some info here that migth help you learn more about your problems any lawn mower shop can oder the parts you need plus ebay is a good site for finding stuff too and best you get another motor to for a spare so you can have one running and when it stops you can swap it out faster anyways here what i found

get a motor catalog online. get coil off an old lawn mower or go to sears and buy a lawn mower..
well if it has gas....spark....and air...then you used starting fluid...bad mistake as this wrecks the compression in the cylinder...starting fluid should only be used if the tempreture is so cold that it wont start on gas......now you must repair the recoil and pull the plug and put oil into the cylinder then turn it over a few times to get the oil to seal the rings again...then put the plug back in...put in NEW high octane gas..and try again....if it still doesnt start then the rings may be too worn and it needs a rebuild!!
