I'm working on my grandson's go-kart. I believe it's a KANDI 110, but I'm not sure.
The starter motor wouldn't turn over. I removed the spark plug and checked compression, which is good. I also got spark on the NGK plug.
Without the spark plug in, the starter motor would turn over quite easily. However, as soon as I reinstalled the spark plug, the starter motor would drag and wouldn't turn over.
I bought a new starter and solenoid relay thinking the old ones had become weak. Even with the new starter and relay it wants to drag and it won't turn over.
I thought perhaps the battery was too weak, but a brand new battery results in the same non-starting behavior.
Is it possible this is a timing issue? Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
