    Carbide 150 -GY6 rejet- now RPMs low??

    Hey there fellas Another carbide 150 purchase: Fella I got it from said he enlarged the 110 main jet. I added a performance exhaust and uni filter with performance intake — and a A15 cam installed. Ran good, RPMs at around 8000 on the tach but spark plug test was lean. Took out carb...

    Carbide 150 (ASW 7150) RPM question

    Issues continue... Hey guys- update: The upgraded carb and UNI filter came in today. Card has a K35 and .125 main. Once assembled, ride okay but still quite gutless. Accelerated fine but no torque. (3 9 frame rollers and 3 13 gram rollers in variator). In addition it’s still not...

    Carbide 150 (ASW 7150) RPM question

    Nice Fantastic information gents! Appreciate it. I order 9.5 gram rollers and a 1500 RPM spring for the clutch. Was looking forward to the sliders but I want to see what I can accomplish small first with these two upgrades- thing is gutless uphill. WOT and just sits there. Think I got...

    Carbide 150 (ASW 7150) RPM question

    Tad gutless Took it out again for some off road trials- flat and open it’s decent. Pulling uphills it’s crap! Took apart the drive again just to check, all seems good. I need to start researching a decent compromise between speed and uphill ability. There is two things I am seeing...

    Carbide 150 (ASW 7150) RPM question

    I understand- that’s true - Yerf dog and Manco were alive awhile- didn’t they manufacture in the USA?? ASW is in Indiana but they just resell I believe. I’ve been looking at Buggydepot more and today and they do certainly cater more to the ‘buggy’ style. Perhaps it’s just assumed that...

    Carbide 150 (ASW 7150) RPM question

    A go kart is a ‘kart’ and a Kart is a ‘buggy’- off topic mini-rant Gents- seen another fella posting a question about his unknown Chinese Kart/buggy/machine/four-wheel wonder. He slightly got blasted about posting a ‘buggy’ question in a ‘kart’ forum. Sid, your a moderator: Perhaps you...

    Carbide 150 (ASW 7150) RPM question

    Rollers are pretty decent it seems- each one weighs in around 10grams. Nice round and smooth (that’s sounds funny haha) Called America sportworks- they said the CDI I have in the Kart is the ‘stock’ most likely but there isn’t an identifiable number to be sure. I was told by the rep that...

    Carbide 150 (ASW 7150) RPM question

    Hey there- So first of all, my apologies for posting anything GY6 in this forum. Wasn't aware that it was horizontal only. Took apart the variator and was surprised, there isnt much wear at all on these guys. One though has just the slightest amount of wear but nothing that I would...

    Carbide 150 (ASW 7150) RPM question

    Right- That isn't what I am asking--- "Where are the service and owners manual?" (There is not a 'troubleshooting manual i have found yet..) Have both already- neither discusses what I am asking... I am asking of those owners whom have similar model Karts as mine; What are they...

    Happy Labor Day!! question: Those of you who’ve had (have) Carbide 150’s (ASW 7150 model)- what RPMs are you seeing average with WOT on flat even terrain? After installing tach and setting to 1 spark per revolution, It’s idling at 1500 RPMs and maxing at around 5600-5700 RPMs. (Speed...
