I have completed the following maintenance procedures with info from lurking here:

Drained and cleaned gas tank.
Blew out gas lines.
Cleaned fuel pump.
Replaced fuel filters.
Replaced oil, oil filter and spark plug.
Cleaned carburetor.
AirFilter looked new so only blew out the tube.
Cleaned and looked over connections and all Looks Good.

Well I am ready to hook up a battery and try and start her for the first time and have some ???

1. Do I need to manually get gas into the lines, pump, and to the carburator prior to trying to start?
2. Should I put her on Maint. Mode before trying to start her?
3. If so, and in maint. mode, do I need to put her on jack stands as well?
4. Finally, how do you start this thing??? (Totally new to this). Sounds like I just step the gas pedal and it starts on its own? No warmup, just get up and go?

I have searched and can't find an initial start procedure.
Please help as I am SUPER EXCITED to get this thing going and start the Mods!!!

1, Not necessarily, I have run my cart dry and have not had problems restarting. It may take a little time to pump through though.
2, If you are in an open space you can just let her go.
3, Jack stands are not required in maintenance mode.
4, Ignition on, give her some choke and hit the gas pedal.
Good luck and keep us posted
