Default Go Kart Making Loud engine noise after a donut

Hi all,

So as many of you know the kids received a brand new Hammerhead Mudhead from Santa. So took it out this afternoon in about 2 inches of snow and my 8 year old basically stayed in the cul de sac doing donuts and having a blast. Here is what's weird...

After about 10 donuts the engine stalled and started right back up but it seems to be making a very loud knocking noise (sort of like no oil in a car). If you let it sit for a minute and restart the noise goes away however once you get up to a high speed it stalls and knocks again.

Maybe too much gas in the line because of pressing the gas hard on donuts?
