are you ready kids      

"The Nail" is still in bits   but hopeful it'll be finished for Sunday, taken quite a bit of weight off

New wheels, tyres, bodywork, sprockets and chains should see it a bit quicker/prettier, even blagged a trailer from my favorite brother

Hopefully see you kids there

u have to catch me first    

Thats not too hard.  

Looking forward to seeing the re-juvinated nail.

Got me alfano today as well, just tested it, seems to all work, revved the scrap to the dizzy heights of 4000rpm, its just like a pinto!

[JeffC]

sounds like the scrap still has the restrictor fitted Pieerrrrrrreeeee, the bairns kart was like that, removed it and 6200 rpm here we come    

have a look on the block see if there is a rod coming out the crankcase going to the carb if there is it needs removing    

looking like Sunday for us this week

I didn't actually try revving it any further, so should really give that a go to see if the restrictor is still on.

She's got a brake now!

Cant believe I missed a rear bumper on ebay though, set me allarme for 8.55 instead of 20.55! It went for 99p!!! FU(K!!!!

Have you and bob got a spare I could possibly lend if I managed to get it ready for sunday?

[JeffC]

Havent changed sprockets, not sure if its worth it really, its going to be slow either way. What do the pro kart boys run, I imagine with less power I want to be slightly bigger than whatever there running.

[JeffC]

Ryan was pulling flat out on the back straight with a 79 tooth, swapped to 76 and hes still at 6200rpm so ive fitted a new 74 for him for Sunday , reckon that will be right,as Ben had a 72 and seemd to be bogging slightly on the switchback,  dippy runs a 72 tooth and he cant rev his out  

ps.  this is with a 20 tooth front though

You dont 'alf talk a load of old sprockets!!      

[Pilot Pete]

I think a 74 could be the answer then which I've got. Dippy's has 4.5 hp more so I need something a bit bigger I reckon. Will have to check the front sprocket tomorrow.

What are these GX engines safe to rev too then?

[JeffC]

have heard 5700revs but his seemed happy to rev at 6k all day
