Regulating the rim size seems much more logical to me. It’s a number based on reality, vs. tire manufacturer wishy washy logic. Yep, it’s more of a pain to police, but certainly within the realm of doable.  That does mean that someone’s going to try the 6.0 width tires on the front, but I think that’s an acceptable tradeoff to using hard restrictions on rims.

Devil’s advocate:

So what we’re doing is trading a major shakeup in wheels,tires, testing, stability and possibly package availability, for maybe a couple of theoretical entrants?  I’m just not seeing the advantage to solo karting.

 

 

The DD2 proposal seems like a no brainier to me.

I’ve experienced the same sorts of issues on other people’s karts with the pump around. Not sure how to get around it. One unorthodox solution, which I use on my kart is to install a mikuni 1.8mm float needle seat(from, I think a VM34/39) to deal with the fuel pump pressure, and a boyesen “super bowl” to deal with the sticky float issue.

I bought the kart this way and I haven’t had a single non user induced problem out of it.
