KZ 125s as part of a long track tour/schedule sure. But superkarts are meant to be (or at least were) quite a bit different with 250cc/450cc, rack/pinion steering, longer chassis, full bodywork etc. It’s just a bit weird to me, but I guess the term has superkart has expanded.
@superkarter89
Жыл бұрын
@@thiswillprobhrt correct but KZ karts fit the rules and are a great way for people to try Superkarts with their existing karts vs spending $$$ on purpose built Superkarts which is the main point of this video. A KZ kart with standard sprint plastics will never be as fast as a dedicated Superkart but that's not the point. Currently Tim Philp is running a KZ chassis with full bodywork and is very competitive against purpose built Superkart Chassis from Anderson etc.

Yet another legendary video from the House of Power. Yes... Superkarting is awesome ... everything you mentioned was spot on. Friendly tip... dump the motor and replace it with an RS125 (Honda). Slightly more horses and a ton more reliable. Then it will be time to put some fibreglass on ... 160km/h produces a fair bit of drag...and change the seat to one with a headrest...safety first ! Really love your work !! Well done.

Road racing karts is pretty popular in the USA as well. It is a total blast. Additionally to CIK sprint karts and Superkarts, we also have specialized road race karts that are more narrow, longer wheel base with a full body. On some tracks, the "laydown" style enduro karts can reach speeds in excess of 150 MPH with the right engine package. Totally sane. ;)

I feel like that engine lock was more about lack of lubrication while downshifting cause the engine still spining very fast and the throttle is close do you run premix fuel/oil or is it automix sistem where you put the oil in a container and the fuel alone in the tank ?

@@PowerRepublic nah I don't think you would forget to put oil , but you know in scooters or 2t bikes we push the clutch and wack the throttle a couple time while downshifting / engine braking to make sure the engine gets lubrication , if you look into heavy tuned 2t bikes you will see they ride like that , but here of course you can't clutch while steering cause of traction loose , so I guess the engine shoud be able to tolerate it or have some kind of lubrication sistem independent from throttle position like a automix

Hahaha, maybe the jetting before you seized! Not running lambda, the only monitoring I have is rpm. Might have to improve that. Initial runs, it wouldn't pull over 5k rpm. After a lot of trial (and errors), got it running better until the big end seized. Jetting is K22 needle on 3rd groove, 168 main, 55 pilot, 60 air, air screw 1 turn out.

Nyloc nuts!, sorry to tell you, but this is absolutely incorrect. Absolute false information given there. You do NOT need nyloc nuts on your wheels to race a Superkart in Australia. We use lock nuts, these are smaller and you will be able to fit a 10mil socket over them to fit in the rim. a Nyloc is to thick and the size socket you need will not fit in the rim to tighten them up. Other than that, great video.
