Eric StevensParticipantStrap them to a pallet and you can buy larger pallets than the standard also. and then use uship.com or freightquote.com and list them as used commercial merchandise.

Eric StevensParticipantTypical full size kart will use 10 x 4.5 x 5 tires in the front and 11 x 7,1 x 5 in the rear on 130mm wide front wheels, and 210 mm rear wheels.
Eric StevensParticipantyou can try Axcel Fast Graphics they are 10 for $48 I believe.
Eric StevensParticipantI have learned that the Comer 80 works best when max RPM is in the low 12k range depending on the drivers ability throught the tight sections to carry speed.
If its same chassis, day, and driver, with a different motor I would look to the carb.
Eric StevensParticipantCarb is the most likely issue. Try swapping the carbs.
Eric StevensParticipantThe Ferodo Kart attack are and excellent pad, They have great bite and modulation even when cold with no fade when hot with increased bite that can still be modulated. They have excellent wear characteristics too!
Eric StevensParticipantWhen cold you will need to choke it by covering the airbox tube to richen the mixture. Also the added vacuum helps get the diaphragm in the carb pumping fuel as well. Dont give it any throttle until after it fires, this can take more than a few seconds when you first get to the track, after it has been running it should fire right up but still dont give any throttle until after it fires.
You might need to adjust the carb, A good starting point would be 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 turns open on the low needle and 1/2 to 3/4 on the high.
Also the carb should be cleaned regularly, dissemble the carb completely and clean the carb and all passages with carb cleaner, just carefully wipe clean the rubber parts, inlet needle and pump diaphragm. Clean the inlet screen and reassemble. There are some videos you can watch to learn how to do this.
Idle once warm should be high probably over 3000 rpm if it will idle.
You need to clean the plug if its a new driver and they aren’t driving hard at full throttle for most of the lap. An abrasive plug cleaner is recommended from aircraft spruce or harbor freight tools. Use a BR9EG when its not being driven full tilt and especially when outside temps fall below 75 degrees. A BR10EG is recommended for 75 and above when you are driving it hard.
It is normal for it to want to stall when coming off the track.
Eric StevensParticipantI would guess that you haver a twist in the chassis causing it to be heavy on the side it is turning towards.
While getting the steering shaft or sweep centered is improtant if the wheels are aligned the kart will still roll straight if the chassis is straight and weights are equal. The sterring wheel will just be pointed in the wrong direction.
To measure the sweep go to youtube and look at some of the videos there for instructions.
