Thank you, once again, for a seemingly simple explanation of what seems like wizardry to me. As my son has progressed from the red plate class up an age group, there is so much more I have to do to keep him even close to competitive. I feel like an idiot having to constantly ask others for help. It is invaluable to be able to sit down and watch a video then go out to the garage and look at things in a different light. We appreciate what you do.
Was it hard to go from UAS to a clone? I run 14.5, SBO, and RWYB. Several of the clone racers are always trying to get me to put a clone on one of my karts to run with them but I think it would feel like I was just under caution the entire race 😆
I honestly don’t mind it. Yes I’m going slower but u can feel the kart more without that insane entree and drive off. I feel it’s just a frame of mind, racing is racing is racing. I enjoy amusement park carts too.
How do you align the chain? Do you have any specific process? I don’t have any “fancy” laser tools so I’ve been told to spin the axel backwards while the motor is still loose so it mount can render itself centered with the rear gear. Does that make sense to you or do you have another suggestion? Thanks for all your advice Ben!!
I was reading a tech article on the buller website when rebuilding my clutch and it said the whole clutch should have 15-30 thousand of end play when installed as in it should float on the shaft how do you feel about that

Thank you very much.
Love to see a vid on the differences in AKRA vs NKA clone engines.
I’ll see what I can do.
Nka bigger cam, no head work
Google your comment and you’ll find some good forum posts explaining the differences in detail
From my understanding. Donald is correct. Akra- head work(ports and milling). NKA- bigger cam
Also don’t forget the .015-.030 gap they want inbetween the clutch and crankshaft there can be a boggle of shimming and calculating tolerances
Yes. I probably should have mentioned that. Clutch fits just about perfect so I over looked that point.
Buddy you need pan head chain guard bolts to eliminate the chain issue and you need a Slider mount for the motor
New to clone. Just getting into it.
@kart6t3_ben heard alot of good about stealth clutches
@@sk8rboy31595 I have as well.
We run a spacer between the motor and clutch chain goes on a lot better. And it was dirty under that chain grad
I’ll look into that.

A laser tool is 35.00 on eBay. Worth the investment
I agree on the lazer tool. But I will do a video on an alternative style.

bully clutch needs endplay!!! wish washers were mentioned
End play. I just don’t like too much keyway play.
I put like a 1/16 thick washer to get my end play
Ben have you used a Lazer to align chain? I just use a cheap Lazer pen
I have one. I’ve replaced batts but I think the lazer is kaput.
G’day quick question, kart body’s, how many manufacturers of them would you recommend??
There are a lot of good ones out there. This one is a chavousracingproducts.net/
Good stuff I have always thought that wd40 wasn't good for chains.... so it is??
Any lube is better than non. But things like Tri flow are way better chain lubes yes.
@kart6t3_ben ok thanks I will start using tri flow and see how good it works
Tri Flo is the shit !!!!
Seem to find someway to bleed everyday lol
Absolutely 🤣

It keeps anything from binding up and helps the chain stay free’er.
Yes I have done it for 15 years and never hurt my key way
Thank yall for your thoughts I will order some washers Monday
