What's New With The Tony Kart Rookie EVS POWER REPUBLIC
Back in the late 70's, we raced and changed from gas to methanol/Klotz oil, and seized more damn pistons than there are birds migrating south!!! lol Extremely temperamental between rich and LEAN... :)
What engine mount is that!!
Hi Dez, what ring end gap is ideal? KA100 restricted. Thanks
Y’all so cool
yeah there was some epic battles. check out the TAG Light final !!!! The first 3 laps were insane
Ive been struggling with trying to get my fat hands in there to move that thing. This hack is so good. Cheers Des. Wish id found this 6 months ago.
Do you race many Js at Ipswich?
nah the J's are only in Mackay and maybe retro karting now
winning
Hey Dez, first of all “winning” is that deal still available? I tried to sign up with the EOFY sale. Buy now is not working. Also sent an email to the admin email listed on the site. We live in USA..
Hey Derek, love your videos mate. I went out to ipswich last weekend and ran tag restricted in practice. Down the back straight the engine would cut out at 12 grand at full throttle. Is this a jetting issue?
Topp👍 I always set maximum to 1398 to allow slight slippage and have a margin to 1400.
Interesting video and excellent channel. I have to install an OTK junior seat on an Arrow AX8 junior chassis. The young one is 150 cm tall. What distance should this be? still 550mm?
How many for 2 stroke 150 cc cylinder ?
I'll definitely need to take pics first so I can put it back together😅😅
what's the size and a good brand for the throttle cable?
Nice hack
Is this legal in the states. New to karting 😅
Hi, im wondering if my tongs are supposed to be ripping away small parts of the tyre when i open them?
By the way thanks a lot for making these tutorials, I really needed this and and rhe chain tension/sprocket change vids to be able to contine budget karting!
Man now i just seen these today!! Now i really want one of these badly really badly i own 2 yamaha kt100s and a Rotax fr125 Max. But once i found out its a actual shifting engine i wanted it badly! You said theres faster shifting engines? What should i look for?
When you measured the toe out, you said you had 4mm of variation from front to back. But the snipers then said you only had 1mm toe out. Im a little confused.
Nvm lol just figured it out myself. I don't have 4300$ to blow on this kart right now with paying for 2 houses 😂. Did you notice a big leap from the big boy fr125 max and the dd2 cause it's only 2 hp
Is the dd2 it's own separate gear box or is it apart of the rotax engine? Cause I just got my hands on a rotax fr125 max and I wanna turbo it and EFI it but I was curious in the dd2 and how it works
Good day dear friend where to purchase this dial gauge could you please share the link . Highly appriciated your videos and your share of knowledge. You will educate the new generations of karting drivers. Greetings from Greece.
Very helpful as always, my son is in a Aluminos 950 chassis and he’s 150cm tall and is a top runner in Nz, by pushing the seat to the rear help with rotation into corners , and if I have time should I move the seat further back if it’s raining to help with under steer ? Cheers guys 🤜
That was a good watch Dez. Good to be back in seat. Nice👌🏼
Great video 🚀🚀🚀
I just got a Rotax fr125 Max from a guy for stupid cheap I wanna turbo it and add a EFI to it. I'm not gonna race it I wanna drift it
Please make a video about carb pressure testing and adjust. More details
Thank you
Heard the entech 2t makes 3 more horse
Is Energy kinetic 1040 from 2022 a good chassis? And can you put an X30 125 cc engine in it? (I am new and want to buy a kart)
Hi , great advice as ever 👍 what is the difference between narrowing the rear track width and switching to a narrower axel ? Cheers
Cool
Hello, please I need help with carburetor .. If i turn screw to right is the mixture richer or leaner?
Awesome!! Watching the full video now!
Really nice video, I have one question, I am thinking of getting the land norris kart with the dd2 engine,1: as this will be my first kart what extra tools do I need 2: is that kart actually worth it 3: is it suitable for me as a 13,5 year old 4: the rotax dd2 engine is the same as the one im the video ,right? Sorry for the multiple questions and thank u for ur time
nah , 1st kart I would get a TAG kart. Rotax senior max and Lando Kart Racer
@@PowerRepublic thanks I mean 1st owned kart cause I have been in a endurance race and I have been karting for a longg time
Was karting today. I hit the runoff curb and made a hole in the seat buttox re still hurting 4 hours later
yep, stay off kerbs if you are not strong in the ribs
kid kart - how often do i need to clean the chain?
every day is best.
hey i have a question, why do so many pros not use neckprotectors? and can a neck protector affect in the wrong way?
style points I guess. no not really
Mate where is the OTK???
Whats the top RPM on one of these Rotax? I found a Rotax fr125 Max for my kart and I have no issue with my yamaha kt100. I find 2 cycle engines ridiculously easy to mess with
I have a Freeline master cylinder and need to bleed the system
Thanks for your advices. 😊
My pleasure! 😇
Updated karting fitness when?
Yeah that is definitely on the to do list ✅
Hello Power republic I have a small issue with my Rotax max 125 I just got it to turn on after 6 months of sitting but I can’t seem to get it past 20 mph :( I have 70 tooth rear sprocket and a 12 tooth front sprocket do you have any pointers on what it could be ??

Awesome video, awesome content and great editing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
g'day mate, I suspect the answer may be different based on where the Ackerman adjustment is made: If I were to adjust to the tope hole on the steering column, would I likely have to recheck toe after making the adjustment. If I make the adjustment at the spindle, would I likely have to recheck toe after making the adjustment. Really appreciate your tutorials always looking forward to more. Be well
disregard, I see you've already answered my questions. be safe, brake late yo
