Mine are near the gearbox oil fill, almost impossible to read, on the side of the intake plenum.

[Ted Hamilton]

Appreciate tracking info when you have it, please. Thanks! ~Ted

[Ted Hamilton]

I’ll take the jet kit and power valve bellows with spring, please. PayPal sent to that address… Regards, ~Ted

Single axle, brakes onboard but not wired.

[Ted Hamilton]

Or make reasonable offer…

[Ted Hamilton]

I never use one because it’s next to impossible to get the air bubble out of one, and I don’t want that getting sucked into my engine for a momentary lean condition… Pre-filter the gas into the tank, then inspect/change the tilly screen occasionally… Never had an issue. But then again, I keep my kart on the track and don’t throw up grit pretty well too. :)

I can make out a ???997 on my cylinder, so I assume it’s legal….phew!!

I was told by my local shop that the airbox is around 170, the clutch update around 550, cost to update arond 900 if cylinder’s good, cost to reseal, and refresh, around 1400 on a 900 base price, for a total of 2500 for a fresh, legal, sealed, certified engine. Considering that the price of a new RMax is 3635, I think that’s still a decent deal…

[Ted Hamilton]

I thought I read somewhere that SR-Y was close to 1 sec / lap faster on an “average” sprint track, whatever that means. :)  I’m curious to hear the answers too….and hope my local track picked the pipe.

[Ted Hamilton]

Sounds like you guys need to start Club 100 / National 100 class… Or a NordAm… 125 DD.

Don’t forget to send me that helmet, bud…. ttyl.

[Ted Hamilton]

I see my carb is a 12.5 too… Anyone have a 8.5 they’re willing to sell? (Just the venturi body…)

[Ted Hamilton]

I knew what I was getting into, kinda. The complete, running engine was $900. So even with a fresh rebuild/seal/update at $1000 that’s still around what an updated one would cost and if I prefer, I can run it as-is for club or WKA. I don’t plan on RMax USA competition yet.

I’ll be at the GoPro Motorplex meeting and we’ll see what they allow locally and not…worst case, I’ll race “for fun” and get DQ’d. I doubt they’ll check the engine before every race and they’ll probably be happy to see another entry fee.

Worse case, it will be cheap practice engine.

Thanks for the input.

On a single-speed vehicle, it’s all about compromise — how long can you hold the brake and throttle at the same time without burning your clutch up? Not familiar with the solo rules — if you can add an axle clutch too, that will allow you to set higher stall speed and get better starts. If it must remain RMax legal, it’s all about timing and dancing on the pedals…

[Ted Hamilton]

$500 for a drum clutch?! Welcome to Rotax…

[Ted Hamilton]

Also, any spares I should get, beyond a set of jets? :)

[Ted Hamilton]

Formula Y pipe/header combo available also.

[Ted Hamilton]

He drops in at Bob’s occasionally…seems he’s fine.

[Ted Hamilton]

I often get a blank first page too, especially if I come to the main site index instead of jumping right to the “new since last visit” page from my bookmarks.

[Ted Hamilton]

Makes me wish Formula Y was still around….lol

[Ted Hamilton]

125mm mount?

[Ted Hamilton]

Thanks….that’s reassuring, and close. Must be RMax needs to update their map. I think the only place it listed was Colorado or something. Regards,

[Ted Hamilton]

Thanks for the info and sale. I’m looking forward to running it…. ~Ted

[Ted Hamilton]

Sent email.

[Ted Hamilton]

I’ve wondered about using a graphite based dry lubricant that hopefully wouldn’t migrate like a liquid…

[Ted Hamilton]

Trailer is still available at the moment. There was a sale possibly pending for Monday, but haven’t heard anything back. Where are you located?

[Ted Hamilton]

Darn it, one day too late for the brakes… I’m looking for kali fronts for my kali brake spindles. Please let me know if that sale falls through and I’ll grab ’em. Regards,
~Ted
