Can I see pics of the battery box and key mount setup? Thanks.

Tony gave you some great advice, go with the largest amphour battery you can . Typically when you get a spin but no fire condition, it’s because the engine is not turning over fast enough for the C box to detect, so it doesn’t tell the ignition to fire. We use a 12V power supply to charge our tag batteries, a standard charger stops charging when the battery is around 12 volts. The power supply will charge the battery to around 14.5 volts , and it will start every time. It hasn’t harmed a battery yet, we typically run the same 6 batteries for an entire season ( we are a 3 kart team) and replace them during the off season every year.

Thanks Steve, I have two 30mm rollers here, but need a 32mm.

I can confirm that Steph Black should be avoided. I purchased a ” Like new, just back from service Mychron” from Steph Black 2 years ago, and received a completely different unit than was advertised. I got an old Mychron 3 gold that had the batteries left in it for years and was corroded beyond belief. After several months of Mr. Black making promises and excuses I filed a Paypal claim and my money was refunded. I had sent the Mychron unit into AIM to see if it was able to be repaired prior to filing the claim, and they called me and told me that Mr. Black had sent it to them previously and had been told it was no good and was not repairable. I was fortunate enough to get my money refunded, I hope that you are  successful too.

Thor, is that a 950 or 1010 chassis?

And on the topic of declining fields and engine popularity, today in Florida SKUSA had to close the x30 Junior field , they can only handle 44 entries in the class and it is full. So I think there are other reason besides engine choices why some areas and series are seeing declining numbers. I can’t speak as to the reasons why, as I have never personally run or attended an event run by one of those series. I can say that we have raced the F Series Gearup and that series numbers keep growing steadily every year. Most of the F Series races last year had 120-150 karts racing at them, and the Formula 125 Leopard only TaG class was always a huge field. So on the east coast if a driver doesn’t want to spend a fortune on an engine or upgrade their Leopard to an X30 there is a well organized touring series to run that has plenty of competition. And I think that is a great thing for karting.

Typically the economy chassis have less adjustability and cheaper components. Top of the line karts usually have billet pedals with very little play in the mounting pivots and are fully adjustable, they feature all magnesium components like hubs, sprocket carriers, bearing cassettes. And they usually have much better brakes and bearings, resulting in a chassis that is more free rolling and faster. All the latest enhancements and newest frame designs are used on the top of the line karts. The economy karts are usually an older frame design, have standard components with much less or no adjustability and are designed for entry level karters.

Richard, I am confused as to what engine it is that you want to run? I think the great thing about karting right now is that you can bolt on an x30 and race almost anywhere in the US . Tires are a different story, as most of the series run a different brand of tire, but since we put on new tires every race day anyways it really isn’t a big issue. Engines come and go , the Leopard had a good solid 10+ year run as the Tag engine to have. IAME came out with something new and better in the x30 and the racers have embraced it. However, that doesn’t mean the Leopards are worthless now, as most kart clubs still have classes that run them. I have a new Evo Rotax sitting here that is worth peanuts now compared to what it cost 2 years ago. In my opinion, Rotax themselves are the only ones to blame for the rapid decline of their popularity. The forced upgrades at ridiculous prices, and the quality of some of the new components, mostly the wiring harness, left a bad taste in a lot of racers mouths. IAME took the opportunity to offer a fantastic trade in deal to swap in a Rotax towards a new X30 and people jumped all over it. ROK offered a similar deal last year, and a lot of local racers around here purchased a new RoK Tag engine. I don’t feel any engine is being forced down anyones throat, if the racers weren’t happy with the performance/ reliability of an engine the race promoters would be hearing about it, and changes would take place. As far as different sanctioning bodies are concerned, I like the fact that there are multiple options as far as which series to run. If I, or any other racer, is unhappy with how a series is operated, we have the choice to not race that series and we can go run a different one . And most of the time I don’t even have to unbolt the x30 for a different engine package.

Kyle, I will take the steering wheel shim. If you take PayPal send me your info and I will send payment and shipping info over today. Thanks. Dan Brown

[Dan Brown]

Ryan I am interested in the Mini Swift. How many hours on it? Would you be willing to ship it, I am in Camden NY 13316. Thanks. Dan Brown

[Dan Brown]

Is it a 30mm or 32mm chassis? Where are you located? Thanks. Dan

[Dan Brown]

Yes I am. Is it the new or used one?

 

[Dan Brown]

Tony, when you are rebuilding a carb you could put in several of the springs and test the pop-offs and compare it to the chart and probably find one that is almost identical.
