We've got an old go cart that I picked up off Craigslist a couple years back. It quit working last spring.  I think it might be the carburetor but what the hell do I know. To make matters worse the go cart won't fit in the back of our SUV.

Anyone know of a small engine repair person who will pick up and drop off? 
Thanks

I'm no expert either, but a lot of times when it won't start after sitting over the winter it's because the gas has dried and gummed up the carburetor. Before spending money on it, you might try taking off the air filter and spraying carb cleaner into it. Pull the cord a couple of times to suck it in and let it sit. After a while try to crank it. You may have to repeat 2 or 3 times, but you may get it started and save yourself some $. It doesn't take a lot of skill to do that, and it's a common issue.

Depending on how old the motor is.. the fuel lines and gaskets, etc.. are probably incompatible with the newer ethanol mix fuels and have deteriorated.   
OP may need to pull the fuel system apart and rebuild it.... not hard at all really.  A few hand tools, a $30 rebuild kit, couple of beers and a few hours of time playing in the garage by yourself.
