not just brake checks, but in shifters people miss gears (whether it’s a miss or a really late shift) and you end up popping the guy.

The most important thing is consistency.    I dont care if its measured on the ground or in the air, I want to know I removed or added “X” camber, caster, toe etc.

Stringing takes too long, period.  Often times we have well under an hour b/w sessions/races to decide on a change, change parts, then align. Lasers take only a couple minutes from start to finish, and fit in a small compartment in my tool box.

 

Even with carefully engineered stringing system for our race cars, it takes longer than that just to get the strings setup and aligned, not to mention the space.

Sounds Rich in the low to mid range (throttle position)

try leaning the needle (honda)/ emulsion tube (if ICC)

[Jordon Musser]

We have all been out buying leaner jets :)

[Jordon Musser]

I honestly dont know.. whatever is the stock honda legal version!  (senior, not junior).

No pumps, carb only.  includes slide, needle, whatever jets are in it etc.

9/10 times it is the cable.  Pull the cable out of the housing, clean, lube with motor oil and re install. if that doesnt do it, replace the assembly (excessive wear and/or corrosion in the housing)

[Jordon Musser]

With enough octane (or lack of timing, etc),  the 01 should slow down when lean before getting into nasty detonation we see now.  Now the motor is fastest while slightly detonating. based on my dyno work on the ’99, the engine was best when ‘right’.. slightly lean made less power.

 

And I agree Chris.. on long tracks, the 01 should be better. But even at DKC( fairly fast) and at S-nats, they are pretty damn close.

Jim-

The 01 FEELS a lot faster.. but lap time wise it simply is not.  What is true is that if you grab 10 random 01s, and 10 random 99s.. drove all 20 cylinders.. the 01 would be faster.

But grab the best 01 and the best 99 from those, and they will probably run similar lap times.  Anybody that says a 01 is 0.4 sec slower on a “normal” sprint track has  a TERRIBLE 99.

it feels faster because its torque curve is has a positive slope, vs flat.. so the 99 just hums along and the 01 keeps pulling harder and harder.

I think the 01 is better for racing, but they need to fix the reliability problems.

Chris-

way more complex than that.. but generally, more octane doesnt make the engine faster.. just makes your wallet emptier.

110 octane and 98 octane racing fuel (all things else equal within reason) make the same power on a 99… and an 01.

I have run front porches and with out.

 

Chris Jennings is 6’4″ and 200lbs, and fits in a standard kart.  Make sure your seat is in the right spot, and have a good shop help you.  Chris moved his clutch and shifter lever.

 

 

I am 6’2″ and 160lbs, fit in a standard kart with standard clutch and shifter (but barely)

[Jordon Musser]

The 99 is more reliable, but at the national level parity IS an issue at the pointy end of the field.  The 99 is fastest when on the edge, but one jet to lean an things dont break, it just slows down .

 

The 01s are VERY consistent from cylinder to cylinder… but if they are too lean, they break parts.  And they run best while they are on the verge of breaking.

 

I think this is an easy fix.  Raise the octane of the fuel so instead of detonation the motor slows down when its too lean.  it still needs to be jetted right to win, but instead of breaking parts it just slows down.

Charles-

Doesnt reduce timing per-say, just keeps everybody equal.

[Jordon Musser]

Whoa, keep us posted! Get well soon, Wes!

[Jordon Musser]

Lots of interest, but no paypal yet! holds a charge for 3 days.

Scott- gonna hang on to this for a minute. ill repost if it goes back up for sale. Sorry for the hassle.
