Hi Gil! Great video❤ What camera are you using?
Le pif paf en bout de ligne droite excellent 😮😮😮😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Oui miaule oui tu peux tourner sur 21000 tours mais casse souvent mais les meilleurs moteurs avec italsystrm oui
Mais on allait plus vite lollllll😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Tourner sur crg rotax en ica aussi
Le bon vieux temps
Wow….30 odd years ago I raced these. So cool. Need to have a go on one. Be a lot of fun 😁
why do you hold your air choke sometimes?
its to give the engine extra full after the high rpm end straigt line
Why you put your finger into that hole from time to time ? Its to keep the engine hot ? 🧐
In a 2-stroke the lubrication is provided by the fuel that gets in the engine, it also cools down the piston. When you're at high rpm, the piston gets hot and so do all the bearings inside the engine. When you let off the throttle you interrupt almost completely the fuel flow, starving the engine of lubrication and cooling. If you do that you risk seizing a piston or getting the engine very hot and indicing very bad knocking/detonation which also will not make your piston very happy. You put the engine in front of the airbox to create a slight vacuum that increases fuel flow momentarily.
Hey Gil - very nice drive ! 😊 I also got me a 100cc Kart with a vortex VA/B - so it’s one generation earlier then yours I guess? Can you give me a hint on what sprocket you drive (axle and engine)? Maybe also carb? (I’m running a Walbro wb24) That would be awesome !!! - because at this time my max rpm isn’t even close to what you do for warm-up! Keep on racing 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
hello Zax! thankyou, i run 10-86, bus with ibea carb, thats what you need, with a walbro you will not have the same as with Ibea carb , grtzzzz
last 3 laps wou were flying! fantastico
Reminds me of my first kart, a 100cc Techno kart. The memories are great and this video of you propperly pushing is exactly what I want to see!
convert yamaha KT100 carburetor ,it works.. Simple & cheap. 👉 ua-cam.com/video/PrbflPVfCRc/v-deo.html
c'était quand même le pied ces moulins....(j'ai roulé avec des mag95 parilla et des Fox en ICA et R100).
Entièrement d'accord j'ai décroché du Kart avec l'arrivée du rotax max et ce qu'ils ont fait par la suite(liquide et embrayage) , des kart qui absorbent les sensations et qui coûtent une blinde.... Mais avec le retour du f20000 on revie....
This is true karing, well done !
Niente driving
when 14k rpm were to heat the engine
Freinages tatdif, drift, courbes non adequates, ne pas savoir sacrifier une courbe pour maximisé la sortie de la suivante... en gros, une belle vidéo de ce qu'il ne faut pas faire... après oui, chui jaloux du matos 🤣👍😉
Nice! Im doing a rebuild for my Simson S51 (GDR / DDR Moped) with a Vortex VA 95. I am so excited for the result. Original they made 3,4 HP, i hope i will get arround 25 HP ;) Greetings from germany!
Nice idea! We have plenty of those engines :D
Max speed?
about 110kph
Now many rpm? 20000?
100cc Tony kart ha un grande telaio però a poca Acerenza
Woow, die klappen bij de chicane 😅
Ja die is dodelijk 🙈
Top speed in this truck? 😱
178 km/u with slipstream an 172 km/u alone
Harder rear axle required and i'd take a tooth off.
exactly when should you be covering the air going in on this engine? how do you know when to do that?
You're doing it to flood the engine since 2 strokes are lubricated by the fuel they run. After running at top rpm by the end of the straight the engine has been strained at high rpms so, while you are still at full throttle just before you brake for the corner, you cover the airbox and flood the motor, this ensures it is lubricated well and prevents a seize which is especially important in direct drive applications
How many % oil for this engine please ?
5%
@@gilmertens8634 it depends on the oil. Be careful, with some (shell if my memory is ok), 5% is not enough. you will need 7% with shel oil.
The more revs, the more oil - and the same for heavy loads, direct drive being really bad about heavy loading…
Can you explain the reaching down with your right hand to the airbox? Always wondered what this is.
you close the air off, and the engine take a gab off full
"gab off full"...what does that mean? and when exactly should you be doing this? btw - great vid
By closing the air off the mixture gets rich and it Lube the engine
@@nazzytpr indeed, its like that !
how fast they go these karts???
120 or so
Hoe hebt ge da kunnen regelen 😄
laaaaang lang geleden hebben ze dat eens georganiseerd maar was maar 1 keer
Is het gewoon tandwielen aanpassen naar een “ groot circuit “ en vlammen maar ? Of moet je meer aan de kart veranderen ?
@@LeFollon tandwielen zowizo; en ook de carburatie wat rijker zetten
Yeah. Great. 💪
5:32 what is he trying to do by moving his hand there all the time? And 5:48 ? Seems to be a different place
Thatsbfor giving the engine more full, you shut off the air...very important, other time is you have 2 screws on the carburator, you can give the engine more ore lower full on the botthem ore high rpm wen the engine runs to lean ore to ritch
Fix engine?
Krisztián Ambrus no, vortex VL98 100cc air cooled
How often do they need rebuilt
Gabriel Altland when they were raced properly in the 90’s a new piston every 45 mins and a full rebuild at two hours to be safe (20,000rpms!)
@@Luniemiester1 What does that cost?
@@teter129 just the connecting rod alone is 180€, 60 for the piston, add alll the other stuff and you're looking at around 300€ per rebuild if you build it yourself
What's is the size of the sprocket
2006adfer 10-85
You think that engine is faster than x30 ? I think the answer is yes and You? And other thing what's is the number of the sprocket ?
i think its not faster, 100cc 20 years old . x30 new generation + 25 cc more, bud iff you have a good engine and good carburation it will be not slower , number sprocket 10-85
Yeah I have an x30 and do not underestimate the kart in this video because it’s mad quick, but x30’s are the quickest single geared karts and are quicker
Karts would be pretty close in times. X30 kart is 50 lbs heavier or more, 100 is very light and nimble handling. 100cc rebuild after every race weekend, x30 rebuild after 10hrs or so.
@@tiger4108 Is an X30 quicker than a Rotax ? I think the Rotax is slightly more powerful but its power curve is a bit weirder so if you have any idea about which would be quickest.
This would eat an x30 for dinner. Older 100cc ICA's were pretty much no holds barred.
What do you do with the air box with your right hand?
It’s a choke or he’s leaning the engine off
@@KaiRogersKarting alright thanks 👍🏻
Amazing!
what camera do you have gill .?
damn u clean af
Your smoothness is really something else. I L O V E the way you slide the kart and take the next two corners as one without even turn the wheel. (6:01)
Thanks mate!!
Thanks for the video, the 100 cc kart is now a rare symphony to listen to, congratulations for everything!
Great onboard as always!
Marco Scheiber thank you my friend!
great to see that even 20 years later they are still chocking the engine while breaking! good times!
What is the effect of choking the engine under braking?
@@RC99mx when you run the engine flat out the fuel evaporating in the cylinder is what it keeps the piston from melting, when you let off the gas to break the piston is really hot, and it barely gets any fuel to cool it, and by choking the intake you increase the amount of fuel that gets into the engine giving it extra cooling and preventing knocking or even melting a hole straight trough it. I hope it was understandable
@@JDTeam im 35 have engine vortex 100cc from 2008 still doin it that choke and love it :))
the choking seems pretty difficult since you gotta do it every single corner and also you have to time the braking and choking and get your 2nd hand in the wheel in time
hi Gil, how do you like the Sodikart ? how does it compare to other chassies you've had? Thanks
hello, i'm very happy with the sodikart, for me is the stabilitie off the chassis better than the other chassis
Nice ben jij zondag op ostricoert
neen, wss in genk
Ah oké doe jij mee aan bnl van Genk dit jaar
Great video Gil! Kosmic T4?
yes mate, kosmic T4
Nice kart, great driving, awesome track. See you at lydd next week Gil!
One helluva great job driving. You get that TK around that track extremely well. Probably scared the driver of the more modern kart when he noticed your lack of real braking zone. <simle>
Michael Ray thank you, indeed this is real karting, i just love it
You don't back off at all under yellows do you, is that good? It is until someone has their legs amputated
U don't have to be fully off the throttle, just a little bit
Yes I agree but you can keep going if you see the accident and know what not to do
@@tiger4108 Just lucky he didn't seize whilst at max revs at 6:28, or you'd have 4 broken legs. I'm sure he knew what not to do, not to have a mechanical failure
@@nicelittlerunner ive seized an engine before at pfi going under the bridge at over 100kmh its not fun luckily didnt hit anything
