Sounds fat on the pilot.

We have a track that the AA gets over 7000ft. We dont usually get down to a 160, but close, but our pilot is much lower then yours.
But that is with a 99 CR125.

Good Luck

Think of it like you torquing the head of a car. Start from the inside work out, starting with just tighten the down, spinning the axle between each cassette. Just like Ric is saying…

[Matt Dixon]

As for motor lean it out a little because you wont be twisting it so much…

[Matt Dixon]

Just watched it. It was great. We as karters want to see more but John Q Public and average Joe have a very short attention span so the 30 mins shows are the best thing for the sport. 2 thumbs up.

Rear width should be the same as front if possible.5

Up on air over 20

U axle

Add many teeth

Raise and move seat forward

Toe out

Disconnect seat struts

[Matt Dixon]

Run the fuel and oil you are going to race.

[Matt Dixon]

If that is the bent part I hate to tell you this…

But that is the crank

[Matt Dixon]

Bottle jack

[Matt Dixon]

Yes. Hold down the On/View button untill GPS Data appears.

Go to S/F line press OK then hit View to exit

Walt I have shipped a car seat by just wrapping it in that strechy plastic wrap. then put the label on it, that worked fine.

[Matt Dixon]

All motors are different, we had 2 motors and one ran best at 1080 and the other at 1150. As for how hot is too hot? Well aluminum melts just over 1300…

The minute you get off track level the tires off. You will never have the same pressures at first on all 4 corners. Certain tires get worked more then others. So using your example level them all down to 12.5 hot. When they cool they may have 4 different pressures, that’s ok. Now next session they will all heat up to 12.5 (barring any crazy weather changes) . Now you can adjust the pressures to suit the drivers/karts needs. Do that cold by either adding or bleeding down all 4 tires by the desired amount. Hope that made sense. That should get you rolling…

[Matt Dixon]

Just call Wes

Well you predicted it bet you didn’t think it would all happen in the first weekend.

[Matt Dixon]

That was great fun to watch, but heartbreaking as well.

Highs are higher and lows are lowers when racing with the big boys.

Fouled a plug? We tend to run a little leaner pilot in the rain.

[Matt Dixon]

They are stiffer they tend to add grip

 

[Matt Dixon]

Higher air pressures

Raise the seat or move farther back over axle

Harder axle

Bigger hubs

Low Volume Mags

Great choice the power of data is awesome. Start watching here

I good base to get you running all day would be an extra;

Chain, gear axle&driver, sparkplug, kingpin, tie rod, spindles R&L, Axle.

Those items are the most common parts that cut days short

[Matt Dixon]

They usually wont idle thats normal, dont read the plug unless you are driving it hard and then chop the engine(let it die and coast in after driving it hard).

Pilot

If you gas it and it blogs before cleaning itself out and taking off its to rich

If you gas it and it hesitates before taking off its to lean

Main

If you rpms are down at the end of the str8 your to fat

If you stick it at the end of the str8 your to lean ;-)

Follow Daves advice and you will be in the ballpark and having fun in no time

[Matt Dixon]

If its only 1 corner have your boy straight arm the kart in that corner. Push with arm against the wheel and opposite heel on the heel stop. That should settle that down and keep you from tuning out the rest of the track.
