Can't thank you enough for this, perfect video and saved the day!!

[@JetSport.Racing]

No problem! I made this video because of a lack of information on the web. However, the Fox Valley Kart KT100 videos were a tremendous help. If you have any advice, please let me know!

Nice work Jet.

[@JetSport.Racing]

Thank you @Kennedy Cao!

Thanks for the vid. was wondering if you had any idea on the range of good engine compression on the KT100. Cheers.

[@JetSport.Racing]

@aralsea91 Hello, if I recall, compression should be around 160psi. It's been awhile since I've worked on my Kt100 though 😂

I just got 2 of these kt100 engines for my cart is nibbi a good carb for em or should i look at other ones cause i have no carbs

[@JetSport.Racing]

@catalinnicolaevici2061Hello, it's been a while since I messed with a KT100. It's possible to run a dirt bike-style carb like a Nibbi, but I'm not sure how well it would run or what kind of tuning it would need. I recommend staying with OEM or close to it, so a Walbro WB carb (My KT100 ran a Walbro WB-3A). I hope this helps, and good luck!

Hey buddy, nice video, you have a new sub! I just bought one of this things and Im trying to learn as much as I can, is there anyway you can help me with the good quality parts and all that? I have literally zero knowledge about this

[@JetSport.Racing]

@Cristian Knight Thank you for being a new sub! I get my parts at Out2Win.com and Comet Kart Sales. They provide quality parts at great prices, with good customer service. Hope this helps, and you can message @dphobbies on Instagram for more info :)

Jet here's my 2 cents worth about the Tomar clutch. One of the best out there. The 3 holes are made to put the puller into in order to pop off the clutch not the 3 screw holes. The bushing when replacing it is about 10th to 20th wider than the drum and will need to be ground down or machined off flush. There are 2 different spacer diameters'. 1 for like a 10 tooth drum and a wider one for a 11 tooth drum. You can't run the 11 on a 10 tooth drum the chain will cut a groove into it and ruin the chain. You can run a 10 on a 11 tooth drum. As far as oil I use grease not oil. That clutch gets really hot and oil will just dissipate and run dry. When it runs dry the clutch will almost become a direct drive clutch and make a weird noise and you WILL SLOW DOWN. Use a High Temp grease and it always needs to be grease up just before every race. In the video you showed a 3 disk drum that was in bad shape and showed a 2 disk drum to replace it. You can run a 2 disk clutch with a 3 disk drum but not a 3 disk clutch with a 2 disk drum. Good luck with your racing.

Hello @Denny Scott ! Thank you for the advice, I’ve been learning as I go, and posting my results. Thank you for the feedback so that way I can correct myself and others on information on Tomar Dry Clutches for the KT100. I see what you mean for the spacer for the 11T drum, as I noticed really tight binding against the spacer and drum. And for the grease, I used 3-In-1 since I heard that it was similar to Triflow. What kind of grease do you use? Finally, I realized I pulled out the wrong drum, and I now have the proper 3 disk drum. Once again, thank you for sharing your knowledge with me so that way I can spread the correct info :)
Best, Jet
