How much does the 206 refresh usually cost. Out here in Tooele

You installed the weights backwards from how they came out. Which is correct?

You can run them either way. Leading or Trailing shoes. I just put them back on the hub to store everything together.
@casual355 күн бұрын
Why not put the weights on the opposite side of the engine but on the frame?
@robbinsracing8015 күн бұрын
Easier to mount to the seat. If you have a way to securely mount to the frame you could but it's very common practice to mount to the seat in go karting.

Interesting results. Sort of supports the idea that a faster opening of intake valve (although delayed) may cause more air to be drawn into the cylinder even with the shorter duration of opening. Odd to see the dip in HP @.004. How many pulls do you do for each lash setting? It will be interesting to see how the exhaust lash settings affect the overlap and torque.

Could be vapor lock. You got the fuel pump right on top of the head don't you? Probably building up heat and vapor pressure. You never know though until you find it.

This is great stuff. I've been really looking into optimizing my engines beyond the usual (float, clip, etc) and lash was one of the things I've been experimenting with. Thank you for sharing this. I've been doing some research (some of it from your posts on 4cycle and here) and it seems that there are two benefits to lash: increasing lash increases rate of opening of the valve, which can increase power; and changing valve overlap can move the powerband around. I tested this awhile back with my local tuner and we noticed that increasing intake lash noticeably increased torque but shifted the powerband to the left and we lost some horsepower. If I understand correctly, increased intake lash can *reduce* overlap because the intake valve doesn't open as soon as it normally would when the exhaust valve is closing, effectively reducing overlap. Out of curiosity, when you ran the tests for 0.06 and up, your AFRs shot up to near stoich. Would this be because the exhaust valve is opening later and i.e. allowing for more complete combustion?
@robbinsracing80120 күн бұрын
YO thanks for the comment!! I also noticed the AFR change. I think it would be what you stated, maybe a fraction more amount air getting into the camber due to it opening later?? I think we'll learn a bit more once I get the lash testing done when I move just one at a time.

Thank you for doing this test and for doing it methodically. I look forward to the tests where you hold the intake constant while changing the exhaust (or vice versa). A request - any chance you have multiple runs with the same engine settings? I'd like to know what is the run to run variability so that when there are results for different conditions, we can have an idea of how much of the change is run to run variability vs the change in the condition. Thanks again!

I have a question. I used to ride karts growing up, everything from trikes, yard karts. My pride was my dart kart. Anyway, I'm 53ish now and finally got a used PRC kart. The motor is a beast. Fastest engine in a kart I've ever driven. My question is, how do i tell what kind of motor. The guy said it's a cyclone but I'm unsure as he sounded. He said it is a stage 3. How does one tell about that without opening it up? So now I scour through the videos.

Around 14:00 you were taking measurements using the protractor and a depth gauge. Was that to profile the cam? What were you looking for? I'll recheck but i haven't seen you do a carb service video.

I got an issue with my lo206 in senior class. Once the engine reaches 48 mph the engine gives a "popping" sound. It almost sounds like its hitting a rev limiter. Would a fix be a tuning on the engine, valve timing, or something with the carburetor? Also once i reach the speed where the sound starts i slightly lift off because i am not sure if it is fine for the engine or not and I see others in my class getting up to 51 mph just fine with no "popping" sound.
@robbinsracing801Ай бұрын
So my gut is telling me it's too lean up top, try lowering your float height to start. I would also with the engine not running remove the filter, pull the throttle cable and insure your getting full throttle. Definitely worth throwing in a new plug just to rule that out too.

@robbinsracing801Ай бұрын
Yea just using the needle valve to control the pressure. It came with a "knob" but it was hard to open under pressure. Took it off and that 8mm wrench fit perfectly, I'm going to use the wrench until I replace the valve with one I can control with an Arduino. Pump is just a standard Hydraulic pump, if I remember it was rated at 5000 PSI and 4000 RPM max.
