Chris,  There was an Intrepid Maky on Craigslist.  Check under Eau Claire Wisconsin.  I think they were asking $400 or $600 for a complete chassis.

[Chad Landers]

Hopefully they re-pave sections of that track.  I think it is pretty rough.

 

I’ve only heard that Badger is adding an expansion this fall.

[Chad Landers]

Yeah, usually the 90 degree nerf bars started in 05.  But that CRG-PTK with the Freeline bodywork was one of the first to use the 90 degree nerfs in 04.  My PTK was an 04, but the homlogation tag didn’t say CRG.  It also had a slightly different brake system with dual masters and dual calipers for the rear.

I put a clone motor on mine and then sold it right away.  That was before 206 got big and I was mainly running tag.

I thought that chassis was always loose in the rear, so I think it would have been a good 206 kart to get freed up with the low horsepower.

[Chad Landers]

More than likely it is about a 2004 or earlier Paul Tracy Kart made by CRG.  That kart will be fine for you to learn with.  I had one that I thought was a pretty good kart.  Wish I would have kept it and put a 206 on it.

That Rotax will probably only need the airbox update and maybe the clutch.  Is the clutch gold with holes in the cover or the newer style with the black cover with no holes? Otherwise you’ll need an EVO kit to get it up to spec. What’s your location?

[Chad Landers]

I liked the app that was called karting tools.  I thought the jetting was very close to I usually ran.  I think I mostly went 1 leaner every time.

[Chad Landers]

I’d put it on the outlet side, but I’m not sure an inline coupler will fit.  You can drill it out like I did upside down or use a magnet to catch the shaving.  I drilled mine out and then flushed it out with water.

[Chad Landers]

Is the allen head stripped in the screw or the threads on the head?  My allen head was stripped.  I ended up drilling the screw out because my allen head was stripped.  I drilled the screw out upside down to not get any pieces stuck in the head and break the seal.

[Chad Landers]

Spray the clutch down with WD-40 and see if it takes off better.  Otherwise your ignition timing may be off.

[Chad Landers]

Go to 4 cycle.com and find the chassis forum for your brand chassis.  That site is more dirt oval orientated.

[Chad Landers]

I ran my Suzuka in Tag, but I always ran mine at 2-4 lines out.  With a short hub like your oranges ones. Those shockwave hubs are more than likely rear 4omm hubs.  That being said when I bought mine used the guy that had it before me ran shifter and had longer hubs on it and ran it wider.

[Chad Landers]

A lot of Intrepid stuff is SKM brand based or Wildkart.

[Chad Landers]

I’ve used a bottle jack from my car to spread the seat struts more than what I could do with a hammer.

[Chad Landers]

Update, took all the connectors apart and sprayed them out with electrical cleaner and now it work.  Stupid electronics.

[Chad Landers]

I was going to say a Methanol Animal is comparable to a Yamaha can.  The 206 is a little slower.

[Chad Landers]

Most Euro karts use DOT 3 or 4.  The only karts I know that use Dot 5 are MCP systems on dirt and American karts.

[Chad Landers]

Those look to be skm calipers.  I just rebuilt some that were the same kind.  Fastech-racing and Italian Motors have skm brake parts.

[Chad Landers]

Did you get the setup sheet that says 4.11?  I have mine set up pretty close to the base setup on the sheet.  If not email Margay and ask for it.

What tires are you using? Your post doesn’t say.  If they are a hard tire like the YDS I’m right at the widths front and back as the setup sheet says.

But for a softer tire like the YHC I’m about an inch or more wider front and rear.

No front bar, spindles in the middle.  Caster is a little negative and just a touch of Camber using a Sniper Laser.  Short rear hubs and medium axle.  I’m using hub mount front rims.

[Chad Landers]

I had a problem like this on an old style engine.  It ended up being the ground wire for the coil.  I have pro speed coil re locator.  I had to put the jumper ground wire on the opposite side of where I had it.

[Chad Landers]

Is the episode available to stream or download anywhere?  I have friends at work who want to see this but don’t get the channel.

[Chad Landers]

Added 2004 Arrow AX8.

[Chad Landers]

Add a Margay rear torsion bar (bladed one) with clamps. $40.

[Chad Landers]

Some parts sold.  Still have some parts left.

[Chad Landers]

Tony,

Yes that was me at Gateway. Stupid ground wire on opposite side of coil mount.

Rob,

I replaced my batteries years ago and mine only blinks 3 times. Wish I would have went with a higher mah rating. I charge my transponder the night before I leave for the weekend and it will last all weekend. Mine will usually blink red for a day to go about 4 days total. If I get worried about it I will put it on the charger at the track for a few hours.

If yours still blinks 3 times on the original batteries don’t change them yet. It is a pain in the butt to change out if not needed.

Go to this thread on Badger Kart Club. I have some information on there.

http://badgerkartclub.com/db/index.php?topic=2695.0

You may have to register a name.

There is also a thread on the ekarting classic form. Search my name on there if you can.

If you need more help just let me know.

I don’t remember why I have this but I think I have all of the possible registration codes.  Hope this helps, since they seem to be out of business.

I personally use the Anroid App Karting Tools for jetting.  No need for the weather station or a computer. It uses the closest weather station.  It has been pretty accurate.
