  • This is the other part of karting you'll need to know about and do to keep your kart running well. I show you what we did to my kart and some things to look for.

    Just had my first session in my new (secondhand) kart. Watching all your videos have me the bug again, and I couldn’t resist getting back into the sport. Keep up the good work!

    Good stuff. I feel like I’m always wenching in my shifter kart. Between servicing and upgrades it’s non stop. Good video, sir. BRAP!

    Very interesting. I know it takes a lot of work to put together a detailed video like this. Great stuff! Thanks!

      Yes it is a lot of work but comments like yours and the others that let me know they enjoy it make it very worth it. Thanks for taking the time to watch.

    I am thinking of buying my own kart once I’m old enough to get a job, probably second hand in the near future just to race at my local circuit. I’m doing rental league racing at the moment because it’s a lot cheaper but the thing that I’m most concerned about when moving into owner karts is not the expense but more I feel it would be to complicated to figure out which part is which and the mechanic side. Great video, very helpful!

      I felt the exact same way about working on the kart before I got into it. I think you have a good plan for your karting.

      I raced in the late 70s when I was 8. Karting wasnt just about winning or even competing, it was about maintaining the machine. That changed my life. I looked at everything differently as I realized I build anything. In the 80s, while in high school, I started road racing motorcycles. After graduating, I went on an got an engineering degree and built bigger things. All the while pushing myself further and further.
      Get that kart. Don't worry about getting a newer competitive kart, just get one. Your life will change.

    Great Video man! Thank you from the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. Doug helped me out a lot over the phone when I first got my new VLR engine installed on my kart…I Couldn’t get it started and he walked me through some things to look for over the phone and I ended up having the ground wire in the wrong place.

    • @IllegalAlienRacing
      @IllegalAlienRacing  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Mathew! Yes, Doug is very helpful. I didn’t know about ground wires until another Karter’s kart had trouble. It wasn’t connected back.

    Thanks for sharing. We used clean and do maintenance on the race care every week something monthly and so on. Its an important part of keeping anything you race in top condition.

    • @IllegalAlienRacing
      @IllegalAlienRacing  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I brought it home now vs. storing it at the track so now I can work on it during the week. Should make things easier. Hope you're good Nash!

    Great content! I’ve watched all of your vids. Everything has been very informative. Im searching for my first kart. Looking to run KA100 Sr. How did you discover a potential problem with the rear bearing? That would be a good episode too. Thx for sharing

    • @douglashubbs
      @douglashubbs 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      On the rear bearing, when you spin the axle without a chain on it, you will hear a grinding noise coming from one of the bearings if it's bad. Good luck hunting for a kart!😊👍👍

    I have a Sodi chassis similar to this chassis. My son is running a Rotax junior engine and we installed a 10 degree Odenthaul mount similar to this. Our problem after installation, was the tensioner no longer able to stop the engine from moving. The slide section was higher than the mounted section on the chassis making it above the stop. Have you figured out a fix for this?

  • @anthonyreddy2834
