    Yamaha KT100 Tuning

    Before you all crucify me for creating a thread of a already greatly talked about subject please understand that I have read through boatloads of strings about this but cannot find any that pertain to my exact problem.

    Kt100 tuning/mods

    I just bought a kart with a KT100 with a 2 hole air box and 4 hole can. I am wondering what the differences are between air boxes and air filters on these two stroke engines. And the difference between cans and pipes. Pros and cons? Which offers more performance? Realibility? Thanks!

    KT100 Carb Settings

    I am wondering what the high and low settings on the KT100 actually do. I'm not wondering what to set them at, I've found plenty of threads on that but I am curious as to what you're actually changing when you screw those in or out? Thanks.

    Hydraulic Brakes

    I'm going to start by saying I know absolutely zero about brakes and today I got the hydraulic brakes for my go kart. Now me being me I had to test them out and first thing I did was push in on the master cylinder and close the brake. After doing that a couple times it doesn't open back up...

    Wheels

    I picked up some tires the other day 10.5x4.5-6 for the front and 11.5x6.5-6 in the back. Now my question is can I run a 5 inch wide rim in the front and a 7 inch wide rim in the back? Will the tires still mount? Thanks

    Yet another newbie

    Help with wheels I picked up some cheap, used racing slick today to get me started off. Now I need to buy rims. I'm struggling with the width I need. This is because the width stated on the front tires say 4.5 inch but if you measure bead to bead it looks like 5.5 or 6 inch (see pictures). Same...

    Manual Clutch

    Is there such thing as a manual clutch (like one in a car where you work it to decide how much and when it engages and disengages) - to replace a centrifugal clutch - for a small engine application? If so please leave a link or somewhere I'd be able to find one. Something like a DBR clutch -...

    Prove my friend wrong!!!

    I have a kart with 18" golf cart tires on it and a governed Predator 212cc engine. I say the ratio should be about what I have ideally a bit BIGGER (I currently have a 7.5:1 but 8:1-ish would be ideal). He says we should go lower - closer to 1:1 to get the clutch to not smoke. Which is more...

    Clutch Clanking

    When I floor it from a medium speed roll the clutch, or that's what I believe it to be, starts clanking. It does not clank if you floor it from a stop or a higher speed roll making me thinks it's not chain or teeth. The chain is tight and for sure not skipping. I think it's the clutch slipping...

    Centrifugal Clutch or Torque Converter?

    I currently am running a garbage dry CC on my Predator with a 5.4-1 or 5.9-1 ratio (forgive me, I don't remember if it was a 12 or 13 teethed clutch). Clearly after riding this around even for a few short minutes the clutch began to smoke.:oops: It still runs, and fast, just with very low...

    Racing Kart Transmission

    I've never touched a racing kart or anything like one before - currently building a swing arm style kart with a Predator, but this is beside the point. I feel like this along with all my other posts is a stupid question but what type of transmission (i.e. Torque Converter, centrifugal clutch)...

    Predator Shaft Rotation

    Is there anyway to make the shaft of the 212cc Predator engine rotate clockwise instead of counter clockwise? The way I have to mount my engine requires clockwise rotation (of course I didn't know the Pred went counter clockwise until I started it the first time and I went backwards:oops:)...

    Predator Throttle Cable Install

    Might be a stupid question but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to connect my throttle cable up to my predator 212 from the gas pedal. If you could attach pictures, videos, links or tips that would be wonderful. This is driving me nuts because I can't find anything on the internet so...
