That is a great old moon buggy. Unfortunately most parts will become unavailable to your local dealer within a year or two. Start there and scarf up anything you can. Vintage parts is a place to start for new plastic. I will find the link if you are interested.

I hate that carb setup. First thing to ask is where is the gator from? Emission compliant engine, in its hay day tuned just barely the fuel to keep running at idle. surely way out of spec with just a few mils of corosion. In cold wheather dealers were forced to rejet out of the crate. There is an idle adjustment just below the breather. need to drive in a small pick and pry out the aluminium plug. back that out 1/2 to 3/4 turn and you should be in business. But once you smooth it out there are two idle speed adjustments. One on your carb set to 900 so it dont stall. screw under the steel plate where the cable and governer lives need to be 1000 to 1050 so you dont junk out your clutch. Hope this helps

Hi, Im new here looking for a solution to something totally different but have seen similar problems. The engine in question 18 hp kawi twin originally came through with a plastic cam gear, couple hundred hour failure. Your pistons dont move, yay... not your problem. Starter in question runs? Three choices but they are all the same design. Electro mechanical engagement and trigger. Solinoid needs to fully retract to engage the contacts. Yours runs. There is a rubber to steel clutch to protect the flywheel from damage. Lots of stop and go such as mucking barns in a cold climate? They either seize or slip? hope that helps.
