I like seeing this kind of content, i learn far more seeing repairs than i do seeing new parts being fitted.
yeah the old ebut Goldies are probably better suited to the UA-cam platform
This video has inspired the crap out of me to get my kart on the road ASAP. Thanx for sharing bro 👍
yeah boi, won't be long and we be burn out city YO
RESA! There's a blast from the past.
yeah I have never had a rip in a RESA, they were in and out while 'I was on a break'. would be sweet to take this one out for a rip at a retro karting weekend
Another great video Derek. Just wanted to point out that by taking only a few minutes to drain the fuel (and water if it has a radiator) before storing it will save you this trouble in the first place, leaving you with a clean carb, white fuel tank, flexible fuel hose, and no rust in the radiator. Leaving you only to bleed the brakes and add liquids before hitting the track years later. Pretty obvious, right.?
Hey Jase, yeah that's correct, a little bit of prevention can go a long way. I even think we might have done a video on that 😂
That was so helpful. Thank you 😊
You're so welcome!
my favorite kind of work!
yeah boi, get some👊🏻
Ax6!! Ready for RKA mate
yeah reckon, @paullio is the man for those
I used to run an old air cooled blue top pcr in speedway karts. The thing was still extremely competitive against water cooled iame engines. Got a few overall wins and series wins.
hell yeah, turn em hard and they rip!!!!
@@PowerRepublic by far my favorite was a 100cc maxter rotary valve. That thing loved sitting at 20000rpm. Actually got a few lap records with it in dirt karts
Great video! Would love to see more restoration type videos , bringing older karts back to life. Did you check if engine was seized or able to turn over before you began?
hey chris, nah the customer that dropped it in had been driving them and asked to clean em up and install the clutch.
There's a whole to be mined from restoration of old karts on UA-cam. Would love to see a ground up resto of a pre-89 100 on this channel. Maybe a twin coz I know you Aussies love dual power.
yeah, I love the retro karts. when in doubt, add more power !!!!
@@PowerRepublicA 200 Super Resto. Needs to be done.
@@neilr4867 love the methanol breathing beasts from the 90's!!
@@PowerRepublic Still beyond me how they got around Oakleigh & Brooklyn back in the day. The tracks were so short & narrow
@@neilr4867 I guess they just tried to keep the front wheels off the ground. I had a session of Robbie G super 200 at Oakleigh once, still remember it like it was yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!
I love those oldies. How do you start that engine with clutch but without starter?
I ve already discovered that u probably use the nut in the end of the shafy.
yeah it needs the external starter to drive the engine. Thanks for tuning in and sharing the video!
How quick is the Resa compared to modern engines?
video anda sangat bagus dan mempunyai mesej yang luas terima kasih
There's no Skool like old Skool
way more popular than I thought, got to bring it back more often
@@PowerRepublic Oh yeah. Back when karting was a lot simpler, classes were lighter (I remember Clubman light at 130kg) chassis could last years (I would use 5 or 6 new ones a year), less politics, big fields, Sydney we would easy get 30+ per class at a club round, random grids to create good racing, we were not all out to win (I was LOL) and racing was clean and not super expensive.
@@AFFMotorsport yeah the clubman light was a real sweet spot for performance/excitement and has a lot of great memories for people. I think being around the 130kg the machines were defiantly more nimble. Thanks for tuning in and I am looking for a 93 DAP Greyhound or 95 Tony Kart if you know anyone?
@@PowerRepublic in 93 I raced both DAP SL's and Greyhounds in Clubby light, joys of driving for Jim Morton (RIP Mate) and Ken Mitchell (and worked for ken at RKS).
@@AFFMotorsport yeah boi, i have only ever heard good things about JM, bloody Legend!
I need one of that clutch's for mi parilla sudam top. Amazing video

15 minutes and I could save thousands!
yeah boi, that's what I'm talking about. get some and get out there !

Can you do a video on the Yamaha kt100j engine
yeah boi, killer engine
Awesome Video 👍😎👍 Quick Question Have You Ever Worked On A Carb That Is Realy Beyond Fixing It ?? 🔧🔩🔨
Hey Louie, thanks for tuning in and sharing the videos. I have, especially the Walbro's style cause once the 'seat' is damaged/leaking its almost impossible to get the 'needle' to not leak down. that makes it heaps hard to tune once back on the track.
another thing to check is the butterfly shaft housing. sometimes the aluminium wears out and air leaks past the butterfly shaft.
hope that helps
Hi just brought a lame x30 go kart and its idle is really hi how do you tune it down
hey ash, thanks for tuning in and sharing the videos.
- you can back the butterfly shaft stop screw (idle adjuster) off/make sure it isn't adjusted to far in
- you can check the throttle stop screw at the pedal isn't adjusted to tight
-you can open the carby jet closest to the engine
Hope that helps
Dez
@@PowerRepublic thank you so much
Is it possible install same clutch to Yamaha kt100(short crankshaft)?
Hey Marek, yeah it is actually made for the short shaft KT100S Yamaha engine. did you want me to send you a link to buy one?
@@PowerRepublic . Yep, that's will be good. Thanks!
I have to wash and degrease something before i work on it. My OCD takes over lol
jet wash all the way
Hello, do you have a social software account in China? I want to learn about karting from you.🎉
No, sorry not at the moment. Where do you live ?
Ol smokie
yeah had some smokie going down that's for sure
Keen
how'd ya go legend, getting pumped to hit the track again??
@@PowerRepublic i learnt alot from this video! Ill be doing the same as you to keep these karts in good condition for the future
Hey i have a pre 2000 Azzurro Z3 😄 but mine has an early Rotax 125. Love it! 👍 great video mate its geed me up!
Sinceramente o kart de hoje em dia , tem numa curva três acertos , tinhoso , essas bosta deixar rolar , e como deixar o carro na banguela , eu amo 100 cc distância curta entre eixo , relação coroa reta saída carburação um ouvido muito apurado , era fera o kart
