Kart Preparation:
After each day of driving it is necessary to carry out various checks to be sure the kart is ready for
the next day out:
Carry out a spanner check on the go kart and engine bolts (especially if driving on a rough or bumpy
circuit)
Clean the kart – this will help to spot small things that would be otherwise missed such as missing or
loose nuts or bolts.
Set Gearing for Track you are attending next
Confirm Chain Alignment is correct and sprocket and chain are of suitable quality. If the sprocket is
damaged it will also damage the chain and shorten the life dramatically.
Check carburettor pressure is good / replace carb kit every 12hours of running or after 6months.
Ensure Oil is changed as per the recommended intervals
Clean Air Filter if necessary using brake cleaner and compressed air
Do not clean the chain with petrol but only apply chain lubricant to maintain the chain life
Maintain / check the valve clearance after 6days of use using a feeler gauge. The recommended
valve clearance for both inlet and exhaust valve is 0.15mm.
