No need to respond this I am going to buy a new starter since the one I had was old.

[Omar Calixtro]

Thanks everyone for helping me out. I emailed my tech director and weight lifting weights are allowed. I also have ordered the weights and will be adding them soon.

[quote quote=63363]Someone above mentioned 5/8″ bolts. Don’t use 5/8″. I think they meant 5/16″ or 8mm. More smaller weights seems to allow the seat to flex more. [/quote]
Alright thanks

[Omar Calixtro]

[quote quote=63136]I’m about the same weight as you. Is it possible to use a weight in between the seat and the frame? Like a spacer? [/quote]
What do you mean?

[Omar Calixtro]

Also can weight lifting weights be used just as long as I paint them white and make a new hole that is 5/8 of an inch?

[quote quote=62898]Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger! When that doesn’t work, bolt lead weights to the seat of the kart. You can buy them from kart shops. They’re available from 2 to 8 pounds. If you know of a local plumbing supply near you, they should have 5 pound lead bricks. You’ll have to drill them for a 5/8’s bolt and either double nut them or drill the bolt for a cotter key. On the 8 lb weights, you’ll probably be required to use two bolts. Most track I know of require the weights to be painted white. You can move the weights up or down the seat for to help in chassis tuning. [/quote]

I found some lead bricks that go up to 26lbs it is 2″ x 4″ x 8″ is there anyway something that large can be illegal?

[Omar Calixtro]

Okay thank you. I think I will give him a call soon to make sure he can fix it.

[Omar Calixtro]

Also I think he just wanted to know the crankcase type. And I found the crankcase type its a permanent mould.

[Omar Calixtro]

Where should I take it? I was thinking comet kart sales could replace it.

[Omar Calixtro]

Thank you everyone. I finally got my starter nut off. The crankshaft thread was in really bad condition. And I imagine that the the starter nut couldn’t get off because off how messed up the thread was. Now I just need to send my engine somewhere to get my new crankshaft installed.

[Omar Calixtro]

I think one problem might be that the thread  on the crankshaft is messed up. But what I think I am going to do is go to comet or send my engine and get the pto shaft replaced.

[Omar Calixtro]

Thank you patrick I will take a look at the fuel tank vent later.

[Omar Calixtro]

Also I am using the inbuilt fuel pump on the walbro wb3a.

[Omar Calixtro]

I also noticed just now when I tried to start it again that the fuel had trouble getting up to where the fuel going in the carb. The fuel had problems going up once I stopped choking the engine

 

[Omar Calixtro]

Tony, nothing else was done besides installing the clutch. I could check the carb. But I doubt thats the problem because if I choke the engine fuel does pump.

[Omar Calixtro]

I haven’t tried going full throttle. I say I go about medium throttle. Should I give full throttle or very little throttle?

[Omar Calixtro]

The clutch and the axle spin just fine.

[Omar Calixtro]

Ok it’s just that I am new to karting.

[Omar Calixtro]

Electric impact?  Would it be cheaper to just buy a new direct drive clutch?

[Omar Calixtro]

The kart has a centrifugal clutch for now. I plan on replacing it later in the future.

[Omar Calixtro]

Thank you very much Jason really helped it’s just that google can’t find the clubs and only finds the rentals.
