Guest Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 was hoping for an easy time of it as looking at the tkm motor other than tha carb there is nowt to it scarey amount of revs these things pull mind , guy today was talking of 16,000 on his sons from what ive read and ive read pages and fookin pages keep the revs sensible and rebuilds need not be so frequent 16000 rpm isn't bad ..... in days gone by when i raced Formula A in the days before watercooling (and electric street lamps) My PCR engines used to peak at 21k , and have seen them on the dyno at 24k 3 jet carbs which you would adjust on the fly ,winding that main jet in as much as you dare to get the last 1000th a lap .... and yes its a fine line between glory and a seized engine , and boy did you know it when they seiezed ..... have sheared the crank pin in half before on one and they are an inch diamiter solid stainless pin ..... seeing one in 2 pieces is impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffC Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Race results are up HERE Looking at the times in race 4, we should have switched tyres earlier. suppose we should have done but wouldnt have been as much fun David said the last race wouldnt be logged hence I started from the back , it now looks like young Dixon gave me a lesson also noticed my quickest lap was lap 4 in the last race , I cut out the back chicane on lap 6 so that doesnt make as big a difference as we thought, noticed Petes quickest was lap 8 must have been getting concerned as Uncle Swiss was realling him in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you admit it, you did cheat you big cheating cheater, you were probably on super soft rubber as well. snake, snake ssssss, ssssss!

JeffC Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 If id known they were publishing results i would have started from 2nd instead of the back oh and proper rubber was fitted just one cheat I cut the back chicane once on lap 6 was taking too long to catch you and was desperate to pass you before the end , in fairness the gap didnt close a lot I had to rely on raw talent to catch you up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact he was that far behind i said to your Dan that Ben mut of come off...i recon min 1 second maybe more........have you got the karts sorted now?
