These engines are high performance machines- they are actually tuned perfectly in this video. The smoke you see in the beginning is due to lack of warmth in the engine and combustion chamber. You can see as the race goes on, you no longer see any blue smoke(how most 2-stroke engines run). In the Pre-Final for this race, the engine was actually much too lean by the end of the race but still smoked on the grid. Thanks for the comment, hope this helped!
These engines will not always be the front line of karting forever. With an unbiased point of view-gasoline/alcohol powered motors will likely lead karting for many years to come.
We got 3rd and will be back 2023 look out here comes Danny Goode ! #9
Surely they could tune better to burn cleaner. Surprised no one has passed out from carbon monoxide poisoning

Don't worry. Electric is the future. Gas powered cars are being phased out and eventually it will make it's way to karting.
