I've replaced the battery, coil, plug and solenoid. But the machine is still having issues. All I can do is spray starting fluid in the carb to get it to turn over. When the machine turns over and starts, it's followed by 3-4 pops while on the throttle and it stalls out again. After the pops there is a slight electrical smell as well.

I really want to get this thing going for my son so any help on what part I may need or a simple fix is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

You may need to remove the carb and check for contamination or float problem. Sometimes even just removing the carb and fiddling with it can solve the problem if there is trash. Have a spray carb cleaner can handy. For the quick and easy (may not necessarily work) would be to shut off the tank flow and pull the fuel line to the carb. Open the bowel drain on the carb and flow thru some spray carb cleaner thru the carb. Mabye even let the cleaner stand in the carb for awhile (could melt the gaskets if too long).Replace the fuel line and open the fuel flow again untill fuel comes back out of the bowel drain. Close the drain and see if any results. Caution against getting straight carb cleaner ignition in the cylinder so be sure to get the fuel replaced thru the carb before attempting restart. May not do much good since unless it's running it won't draw the cleaner thru the jets so probably would need to check those anyway.

The other issue may be the valve adjustment.

I wonder if the electric smell is just coming from the starter or the relay after being taxed after multiple starting attempts.

These motors when running properly usually start on the first touch of the button.
