scott_prelit now westfield_bumble Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 i'm not coming out to play this weekend. Planning on taking kart into work and getting it weighed at some point. Getting engines dyno'd during week to see what my plan of attack is. If your at w/law might pop up for an hour with the camera at some point. Might start putting the prelit back together if i can be bothered to be disappointed by it again.

scott_prelit now westfield_bumble Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 this looks like a bit of a Beast Twin gx200's spec'd up to give estimated 22bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot Pete Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 this looks like a bit of a Beast Twin gx200's spec'd up to give estimated 22bhp Tis the ultimate pro-kart that! I do think a tuned GX200 is probably a better and cheaper engine that a briggs. Its a shed load lighter for a start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilot Pete Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 was thinking about how you said you went quicker the other week on your early laps, the engine would have more compression when its cold , its maybe dropping off as it warms up think which ever way you go be it 160 or 200 you have to replace the motors that are on there to go quicker That sounds exactly like what mines doing. According to the data logger I set my fastest speed of the day on the very 1st lap, it then tailed off through the rest of the day. Nothing too dramatic I dont think, started at 54mph then gradually dropped to about 51mph through the day. I think they'll all to that though to be honest. The cap commented that mine sounded a bit limp wrist last time, we've adjusted the clearances, it sounds a lot sweeter now, might be just that scott?
