sounds like it might be the carb float level is off. When you put the rear only up on blocks, the carb is on a different angle than when it's on the ground. If you want to run it on blocks to check, measure your ride height front and rear when sitting on the ground and then block up the front and rear so the whole kart sits at the same angle as when it's on the ground.

IIRC, this is one of the clone motors? you might want to remove the bowl and put up some pictures of the float/hinge setup before doing anything with it. I know the Tec's call for an 11/64th in. float top-to-carb base gap--not sure what the carb is on the clone or the setting it's specced at.

Sounds like it's running rich. Did you replace the jets or anything?

Did it run good before, and out of the blue start running weird?

It's possible your Fuel Enrichment Valve is stuck in the closed position. It's like your choke is stuck on.
