Now I have to admit I’m not a big fan of 2 strokes and i never mess with them but the fact that you guys are doing something different besides a 4 stroke is awesome keep it up
Karting Enthusiast here🤙🏻. I would say if you cant go to a track just do a point to point 👍🏻. There are endless aspects of Karting to learn about but its awesome you guys are getting into it and teaching yourselves. Look forward to seeing ur progress!
Great video guys. When racing 2 stroke go karts the different pipes are for different style tracks basically as mentioned in one comment becareful with high rpm's on long pulls you can stick the piston. Enjoyed watching the video. Hope you have a great week. God Bless!!!
within 1 second of seeing the pipes you had to choose from, I knew the winner. It is the one you picked. The Hartman Blimp with the small can-over. This was THE pipe to have for the KT100 and most any other 100cc engine from the late 70's, through the 80's and even today. The only real issue with this is that many track, including my home track of Badger Raceway had sound limits. This pipe was LOUD , but worked everywhere in the rev range. We would play with the flex-pipe length depending on the track. Longer for torque, shorter for hi-speed. This is literally the sound of my youth. Now.. Set your damn clutch up to 9500rpm, get some good fuel in it and just run a foam sock filter. You're WAY too lean up top. You're gonna stick it.
I'm just got a kt100 kart and I'm getting ready to start it up are there any tips you could give me on not fucking it up and running to lean like they are I need to let it warm up for 10 mins? And how to set hi low ideal??? 4074483959 thxs
ok so you kids are learning, now you can't just slap a different pipe on without re jetting the carb . To get the maximum power you need to consider temps of daily air and exhaust. Keep records so you can tune for the day and pipe . If you were to go to a real race track you would tune for a short or long track , a track with alot of slow corners or fast ones. Keep having fun while learning .
Awesome! Love the 2-stroke. I didn’t know that exhaust could make such a difference in a 2-stroke. If it were a 4-stroke, you would just straight pipe it.
Keep up the good work guys, did u do a comoression test yet to see the life of the engine. Generally 2 strokes eat rings with age , but a top end rebuild kit is easier than making a hot pocket w/ a 1100w microwave.. 😂🤣
Up in the front of the pipe where the springs are, you can change the length of that short header that the expansion chamber goes on and alter the powerband as well, the main reason to change pipes has a LOT to do with gearing and sprocket changes, and also when you adjust the weights in the lock-up clutch, each different setup requires a different pipe and header-
B1 is a low end pipe, the second pipe looks like a classic Blimpie pipe. The higher the number the higher the power band in relation to rpm's. G4 or L4 would be a high end pipe etc.
My 2 cents. Use the leftover fuel in the weedeater. Always mix fresh and measure both the fuel and oil. Just buy premium without alcohol from the same store. Octane booster is only needed if you have shaved the head, check compression. Adding it will change the ratio and will make you leaner on top end causing ring wear. Lastly, every pipe needs different tuning to get the full potential. Have fun making a lot of laps, test and tune.
I have the same kart. Emmick kart with the Yamaha KT 100 motor. Mine is a mid 1980's it will go 86 at 14,000 rpm. You can change the power band by shortening the header pipe too. I have the same steering cowl and electronics. I will look next time to see if it has an M in the seat. But I think it does. If had a few big racers want to buy my race pipe.
The cone shape should send a stronger shorter pulse as oposed to a longer weaker pulse. Its the same thing you can do with port shapes and like you said top end power or low end power,what you want more.
i have a problem but when my kt100 was running I took off the spark plug cover and got a massive shock but in the last video you did the same thing and didnt get elctrociuted. any ideas as to why this is happeneing?
The expansion chambers move the power band around for racing on tight or open tracks. 4 strokes do not have linear torque curves in the racing world. Drag cars have a much different torque curve compared to a show room Honda Civic. Make sure you keep an eye on those long pulls on straights you may stick it.
Mike Roberts Obviously power is never perfectly linear. When compared to a 2 stroke, however, a 4 stroke has much less of an exaggerated power band. That was the point of the diagram.
Don’t run a paper filter! Get a fine mesh filter 👍 these engines need good fuel flow. Personally I run no filter as I pre filter my fuel and clean the filter inside the carby after every run
All they do is change the power band around for different sizes or types of tracks. Slow tight tracks require a different pipe to fast open tracks. As for your comment on 4 strokes having a linear power band they don’t. Just think of the difference between the power band or torque curve of a drag car and a show room Honda Civic. And watch the temp on those long straights you are pulling you may stick it.
if you really want to make that 2 stroke sing use leaded race gas 110 oct ....2 strokes love leaded fuel ran my YZ 125 with the big bore kit 50/50 pump 93 and 110 leaded race gas and it is still easy to find in Texas I get mine out in crescent there is a gas station at the race track entrance/exit that allows the race cars to fill up the non street legal cars without having to take on public roads so you can buy all you want at the pump at half the price as the VP gas in cans.....the lead will ad a bit of ring and cylinder lube but you should do a top end on that 2 stroke about every 20 hrs (thats a full race motor ) of run time ...sounds crazy but it cheap and easy to do compared to a 4 stroke
That poor motor. Yall are runnnin that full on lean. You can hear the point in the exhaust note where it leans out too. Its too rich off idle and goes flat lean high rpm. All pipes you can hear it. Richen the main jet a few till the motor cleans up high and adjust the idle mix and needle hieght
Budget friendly r.c , I totally agree it's running Lean she's screaming to hard. Two stokes oil runs through my veins, when you get air cooled two stroke dialed in she we hum with a tone like no other
Stop bumming around on deserted streets and take it to a real race track, also if you change the length of the insert between the header and the pipe it will alter the power from bottom end to top end

The length of pipe before it is crucial too. Try different lengths to fine tune the power band.
ok so you kids are learning, now you can't just slap a different pipe on without re jetting the carb . To get the maximum power you need to consider temps of daily air and exhaust. Keep records so you can tune for the day and pipe . If you were to go to a real race track you would tune for a short or long track , a track with alot of slow corners or fast ones.

P Kuudsk its a diaphragm carb, there are no jets

That looks like it was a lot fun. Great video.
Love the videos keep up the good work
Good stuff fellas. Bit of R and D is cool. The two strokes sre awesome. 👍

Very entertaining videos.
Don't worry about the octane too much. If your ignition timing is fixed then boosting the octane is pointless.
Hey there, what mixture were you running?
8:37 love that sound
I need to get caught up 😂 y’all are hilarious
Nice video👍💯

Just an fyi guys your grearing will also help ,for the area your playing in a mid tooth gear/sprocket will help but keep an eye your tack

David Murphy same here. I only ever covered up the air filter or let it cut out on its own after that.
if your talking about the spark plug boot (the rubber piece) while its running it will shock you. Thats normal lol
David Murphy don’t touch the engine, that grounds through you. Just grab the rubber boot and twist a little while you pull
u were grounded. no ground, no electrocution
I have the same exact go kart. They were 1600 dollars in 1998 and it's a "margay kt100 Yamaha kart" is what it said in the sales paper
Lol like the race track
Two stroke madness!!!!!
Nice video next time make them longer!!!👍🏻😆
what kind of header are yall usin
I love your videos by Hunter😎😎😎😎😎😎😁😁😁😁🎅🎅🎅🎅

aye keep up the vids man i just got a go kart! :)
She is running much cleaner was it the fuel or did you spend some time dialing the carb in?
Did i ever tell you guys that you have a cool intro
Please please please tell me what type of go-kart that is looked up 2 stroke go-kart and couldn't find anything..
bdogg1010 random chassie with Yamaha kt100 engine
Cool video. Add in one of the go cars a big wing (wang gang)
Why don't you do timed laps?
The gas can just stick in the tank, catch that nub on the cap stem no mess it's actually easier lol
weedsmith 93
And then you slip and dent the fender on your car.
No thanks I’ll keep the old nozzles.
Cool
Whats the intro song
hey i have a budget of 500 and i found a 196cc drift kart for 350 is that a good investment everything seems to work on it?
SoLaR wolf yes
U should use the dominator oil instead of the interceptor works way better imo from experience
Don’t run a paper filter! Get a fine mesh filter 👍 these engines need good fuel flow. Personally I run no filter as I pre filter my fuel and clean the filter inside the carby after every run
hey i recently bought a shifter kart with a 1997 RM80 6 speed and you seem pretty knowledgable. what are your main tips on keeping a healthy engine!
You still haven't fixed the clutch?
2 stokes need back pressure, I believe that the exhaust you put on was creating more back pressure which may have added more power all around.
Thank god for the notifications !
All they do is change the power band around for different sizes or types of tracks. Slow tight tracks require a different pipe to fast open tracks. As for your comment on 4 strokes having a linear power band they don’t. Just think of the difference between the power band or torque curve of a drag car and a show room Honda Civic.

Never clicked so fast
Colin Davis Haha, thanks....this one is pretty good.
Does anyone know this exact kart name??
James Roberts i dont know the chassie but its a Yamaha kt100 engine, about 17hp

The shorter the exhaust flex the better top speed and the longer the flex the better the bottom end speed
BTW. It's called an "Expansion Chamber". ;-) At least that is what we called them in the '70's.
Pô xe nghe hay 👍
That engine doesnt have apowerband
Motor cc? ?
100cc. Kt100 Yamaha

Randy Slagle what do you mean “main jet”? There’s only a high and a low jet.
Car Central Media there is a round slide carb on that motor. The main jet is what the needle slides into
It would be all the fuel booster they put in diluting the fuel oil mixture.
Randy Slagle no its a walbro carb, a diaphragm carburetor
kts are generally smokey as shit at lower rpms, and they generally dont smoke when revving
Late gang
they are TUNED pipes
get a no spill gas tank they are nice
Them 2-strokes can be dangerous because they can lock at times so just watch
It is still amazing that they only asked you 400$ for that thing! >0.0
3 min late ❤️😥
2 years late❤😥
5th
That isnt supposed to idle it burns out the clutch
You know that when you let go the throttle the engine is no more lubricating....
No you are not true
So what you supposed to do never let off lol?
Guys i think it has a 2 stroke

Why is that thing so lean holy shit
THAT STUFF YOU SAY ABOUT THE POWER CURVE OF 2 STROKE MOTORS IS TOTALLY WRONG.
bloody hate caps lock
Change pipe change the jets poor cart won't last long I'd love to buy it...
Sounds a bit lean
Budget Friendly RC how can you tell?
Car Central Media just listen to it
Budget friendly r.c , I totally agree it's running Lean she's screaming to hard. Two stokes oil runs through my veins, when you get air cooled two stroke dialed in she we hum with a tone like no other

Adjust the hi end needle your gonna ruin that motor
I’m not a big fan of the opening song for the intro, the intro is good but the song kinda sucks
Its a shifter cart dude drift that shit spin it and 360 it
Stop bumming around on deserted streets and take it to a real race track, also if you change the length of the insert between the header and the pipe it will alter the power from bottom end to top end
God, bad clutch and bad tuning, that engine can run at much much higher RPM
Filipe Cunha Dias true, I raced these 2 years ago and my ears were bleeding when driving it lol
no point going past 15 grand
Big Cazza what do you mean
also look at his rear sprocket, looked like low 80s, we usually leave 86 on the rear and go between a 9 and a 10 on the front
Big Cazza i didnt change front ones, i was usually using a 78 rear
Do your homework first, before talking about things you clearly don't understand!!
ich bin eine Biene Care to elaborate?
Please educate yourself on two stroke motors,how expansion chambers work and carburetor jetting,your making me cringe
