2 stroke PERFECTION - Why 100cc kart engines represented the PINNACLE of screaming glory!

[@charlesgraham9954]

when u grew up smelling 2 strokes, u fall in love with the smell. growing up i was lucky, dad had a small engine repair shop. my grandfather retired when i was 4 and started messing around with engines to keep busy. this was in the 70s where shit wasnt throw away yet

[@supergrover9264]

True words! There is nothing better in terms of sound, RPM, drivability & smell than a last generation 100cc water-cooled ICA / FA. I have 3x TM K11B & a Parilla Reedjet. The ibea L2 with Powerjet is my absolute favorite carburetor! 🥰

[@ExpediteTravels]

I wish they would bring back Formula A and Super A air cooled engines 😎👍👍🇨🇦

[@robormiston2841]

I have an 1983 Yamaha KT 100 on an Emmick Chassis. It tops out at 83 mph at 14,000 rpm on my fastest setup. 21,000 rpm is crazy. I had no idea. 36 h.p is the most if ever heard of on a kart besides custom builds. With my can pipe I'm at 12 h.p. on my Stinger race pipe it's at @16 h.p.

Best engine ive ever had was a 100cc maxter rotary. The thing loved it at 21000rpm. Now running a iame parilla 100cc reed. Good engine with big ports and a x30 reed block but not even close to my maxter

[@snafu7998]

What's that a formula blue 100cc

[@tedreed7961]

Karting brought 2strokes further in development than any other sport especially with carburetors and expansion chambers. Back in the early 70s we tried a Lake fuel injector but absolutely no gain over a carburetor. The best carb I ever used was a modified Mikuni, it was called a Culverator. Culver was the company.

[@dennisyoung4631]

@@kerrykelaher2607 no, it didn’t. You’re right to use more oil. More revs, more oil. Recall reading somewhere that the amount of oil needed is roughly proportional to how fast you’re turning an engine. What’s “ok” for, say, 5500 (32 to 1) is grossly inadequate for twice that - much less nearly four times that. Hence, 10 to one - a figure I recall reading about in at least one book on kart engines - is not out of place. What might be strange is the idea of “model airplane RPMs (20,000 or higher) want model airplane oil ratios” - e.g. 3 parts fuel, one part oil. Then again, those often have bushings rather than ball, roller, or needle bearings - which is where the design of the engine plays into oil needs.

[@fab9727]

Imho they should just go with an OK engine with 30mm carb and 18.000 rpm in WSK or CIK FIA as "modern Formula Super A". That would be nuts.

[@Ayce47]

Hello! If you don't mind sharing a link to a community where i could ask about some more about these engines. I have an old mik 360 l(at least i hope i do, but it's a liquid cooled one in any case) with a tillotson carb, and can't manage to get him running how he should. Mid to high rpms he simply takes my breath away, literally, but when i try to push start, he always bogs down but then very very slowly creeps up to an almost normal state, then when i'm finallly reaching those peak rpms, he completely dies on me. After we slow down a bit, back into the mid range, he comes back to life.

[@ivotrambo9803]

Does it smoke much out of the Exhaust? Then it,s running to rich. When you got nearly no smoke on the exhaust and you hear a metallic sound your engine is to lean and you need to adjust the carb. when adjusting dont help you need to get a new carv gasket or you need a new carb like me because it somewhere sucks air and dont work. I had the same problem With my tuned TKM s89T Rotary valve engine now i got a new 27mm Italsystem carb on it now its running and revs to 20.000rpm love that engine. I hope I could help you. sry for bad English its not my main language

What I'm saying is that Reed or rotary valve are also piston ported. Shouldn't it be called a Reed or rotary engine, not that the older version is called something different?

[@AlanDoveKarting]

​@@dirtygarageguy I am not sure I follow. Something like a BT82 doesn't have either a rotary or reed valve. It'#s specifically designated as a piston-port engine. This explains it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/epTddZd9nqeImq8
