Thanks,

I've been to a few club day meets down at Henderson and looking at getting a 30/32mm chassis with a Rotax/Leopard. Which catergory did you race..?

I wanted to go the 100S but it seems too troublesome needing a push start all the time, I want to be able to go out on my own and do a few laps when I want without needing someone to push start me all the time. Thats why I'm going the 125's.

Cheers,

I dont know wheter clubs in your area are mostly aka affiliated but next year i know the aka is enforcing that 125 drivers have a b grade licence which means you need to have 10 races under your belt other wise you cannot drive the rotax or leopard it is a high possibiltiy of this being put into motion so watch yourself you could have a kart but not be able to drive

Senior classes.....lots of unhappy 125 owners out there and this is creating lots of debate. 125 class for juniors is experimental and B class. As for push starting....trial and error and easier at Cockburn as its downhill...other tracks not so easy! Clutched versions of the 100 cc engines are availaable but at a cost. Drop me a PM if you need any further advise.

Cheers,

Michael

I am looking at selling my BMax with rebuilt 125 leopard as I just don't have time to use it anymore. Also have a 3 Kart side opening trailer but the setup will not be cheap.

Comes with Kart stand,Mychron 4 with data logging, spare rims, sprockets etc.

Send me a PM if you want to discuss prices.

Cheers

Ken

karting is great fun. best tip is to start out in the mid range karts and work your way up. the 125's are pretty punishing to start off with but it all depends on your size and background.

but give kartmart a buzz.. my parter Megan is the one behind the counter and she should be able to help you with your karting needs.

hurricane kart club is a good club to join as they dont charge members for practice use (except club runs etc) unlike the others.

also, for those with 125's, shifters and opens once every three months or so there will be meetings down at collie, contact kartmart or cockburn kart hire regarding this, the next one is at the start of december from memory. This is great fun as you get to max your kart out around most of the track :)

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
