      Do you think it’s an issue with the KT in general or maybe your plug/ignition module? I’d try a new plug first and then maybe then swap out the ignition.

      Does it start easily on the stand?

      Yes, always starts easy on the stand.   I believe the problem is we cant get the kart rolling fast enough to get the engine to fire easily when its setup as a direct drive.

      Interesting. I’ve never run a KT-100 direct drive, but have thought about it (ditching the clutch is attractive…). I know people do it,  so I’d be interested in what you figure out.

      If you have a friend with a clutched kart, you could always get them to give you a push :)

      Steve, you’re probably just flooding it, try cranking the low needle down to 1 turn for starting.
