Murray Go kart

I was given a Murray Go kart to fix.. I know it needs a new : spark plug, air filter, oil change and possibly new clutch? it apparently won't stop once cranked

my other question is when I do get it running I can't keep it running it has a OHH6 71137C engine
my problem is i'm not sure if its missing springs for the throttle or not.. when pressing pedal can tell not all parts move but not even sure where the spring connect to will have pics to follow shortly...

I am hoping one of you guys have experience in these..

 

If it takes off when the engine is running either the engine idle rpm is too high or the clutch is stuck/bad. The carb probably needs cleaned and adjusted if it won't stay running.

 

yea I was planning on just replacing clutch.. its like 10 yrs old at least was neglected..

 

It also needs some knobby tires. I used to run the piss out of my go cart like that.

 

yea.. its for my 9 yr old g/fs son..just a fixer upper for Christmas.. I just hope I can get all the kinks worked out before santa comes

 

Piece of cake. You can get parts for them at northern tool or pep boys or tractor supply. It's basically a lawn mower engine.

 

Your 9 year old g/f has a son?

 

ha sorry just caught that..lol my g/fs son is 9 yrs old
