[@lukecruz2653]

Im brand new to karting, I have a Ka100 engine and I was wondering what type of degreaser I should use for it. Thanks man! Keep up the good work by the way. Love the videos

[@PowerRepublic]

Any time bro. I use the Super Cheap Auto degreaser. Works fine and you can use heaps of it all the time to keeep your ride looking sweet

[@zeljkabozic4237]

Hi, I was just wondering, where did you buy the cluch and the eletric starter?

A totally different subject - I was looking for a good video on the different OTK torsion bars, but couldn’t find one. I don’t suppose you’ve got one hidden somewhere?

[@PowerRepublic]

Hey Pete, tune in this week and check out your new video. Thanks heaps for the inspiration ;)

[@ehpracing518]

Super informative videos. Im new to karting and have been watching all your stuff and even purchased your video series.When it comes to servicing the carb on the ka100s, when do you do a full rebuild/service kit vs simply doing the gasket kit? Thanks

[@PowerRepublic]

Thank heaps legend 👊👊 I would the full kit every 10 hours when we do a new piston. And. Then maybe a new half kit every 4-6 weeks depending on how much use.

Keep up the good content

Thanks heaps legend

[@massimosanchez-lara1405]

How many hours can be done on an x30 and a KA 100 before a rebuild is done? What is the rpm limit of both engines respectively?

[@PowerRepublic]

10-15 hours depending on budget. 16k is max for X30 and the KA 15500 - 16500 rpm depending on your gearing

[@arwebinfo]

Hi Derek, just got a new KA100 and noticed oil coming out of the area where the exhaust meet the engine. I was thinking that the engine was too rich and adjust the carburetor, but it’s still leaking oil. What should I check? Maybe the oil/gas mix?Thanks

[@PowerRepublic]

it most likely the exhaust socket fit in the exhaust or the exhaust gasket leaking. no big deal other than the mess. double check, make sure the exhaust nuts are tight too

[@arwebinfo]

@@PowerRepublic Thanks

[@okcasperr9330]

great video mate, since ive gotten into karting your videos have helped so much with general maintenance. Just a quick question what spark plug would you recommend to use for the ka100's ive been told the NGk B9egv is a good one but I think its discontinued any suggestions would be sick thanks

[@PowerRepublic]

we use BR9 EIX or BPR9EIX. both excellent. get some and test them for yourself. If you want to order some contact us via email or call the House of POWER !!!!

[@almierz4604]

Hello. I'm. BRAN NEW to the sport. I purchased a BIREL kart with the chassis and all components New. It has a rebuilt Yamaha KT100 zero running time. My question is , what is the difference between a KT100 and a KA100. Thanks. Great Video

[@PowerRepublic]

The biggest difference is the KA is a reed valve engjne and the KT is a piston port. The KA makes 50% more power over the KT and is an awesome engine

[@jadin99]

Might be a bit late but ive ran both in the us and to me yes theres more power but the biggest difference I found was the tag style clutch on the ka100 vs the output shaft clutch on the kt100 that was a lot more maintenance and took a lot of tuning to get lap time

[@chrisgolder4033]

I have a 2021 KA100 with less than 6 hours on the engine, with the starter support bracket and bolts removed, the starter will not come loose from the crank case, any tricks to remove it?

[@PowerRepublic]

There is 7 screws in total. Once removed, use a soft hammer to loosen the housing off the crankcases

[@Jeff-504]

We just picked up a KA100, pulled it out of the box set the carb to 1 and 1 on the high and low speed needles. At our race we just had we were only getting 13,800 RPM while most other drivers were getting 15,500 RPM on the same gear ratio. What could be the difference?

[@PowerRepublic]

damn Jeff, that a big variation. did you lean out the HSJ at all?

[@Jeff-504]

We did not lean it out. Also just found out a few guys were running 3 teeth higher on the rear but I wouldn’t think 3 teeth would equal 1700 rpm. We have a long straight and was seeing 1100 EGT.

[@amimellamanjose7687]

Hi, I currently have a KA100 and today during practice my chain snapped and my engine immediatly topped out at 5k or 6k RPM despite being flat out on the throttle, since the chain was broken shouldnt the front sprocket been spinning freely? Is there something that you think could have broken during the incident? Thank you!

[@PowerRepublic]

Nah happens all the time, shouldn’t be an issue

[@eeeagan4933]

Would the exhaust dirty make a difference and does it need to be cleaned?

[@strhhswgter]

How do you know when the carb needs rebuilt? Thanks!

[@PowerRepublic]

do it before you hit the track for a race meeting. otherwise every 3 months

[@andrewwall8799]

So I was tightening one of the 6 bolts on the carb and I broke one of the heads off how would I get it out?

[@PowerRepublic]

easi Out , or a reverse/left handed rill bit. its a mission some times if they are right in there

[@ericchapon9757]

what diet should a ka100 take to be at maximum efficiency thank you

[@PowerRepublic]

Depends

[@thatguycody7]

Also can you do race preparation for vortex mini rok

[@PowerRepublic]

Hey Cody, sure can mate. Let’s do it this week , what’s ya reckon??

[@thatguycody7]

Perfect thanks

[@christianbuczko1481]

Id like to add a battery recharger to my kart, do you have any ideas??

[@PowerRepublic]

Hey Chris, you can screw some extra terminals onto your battery that have an Anderson plug connected to them. That will make a quick connect for you to connect your battery charger to.

[@christianbuczko1481]

@@PowerRepublic im thinking alternator or similar. I think i can run something off the rear axel which will recharge while the karts moving. If i can do that, recharging the battery wont be needed as much.

[@PowerRepublic]

@@christianbuczko1481 yeah it would but it might take some of the power out of the engine and add unnecessary weight

[@christianbuczko1481]

@@PowerRepublic if it ever raced, it will need alot of lead with me driving it. The extra weight doesnt matter, and as i dont carry weights, and weigh about 54kg in my suit and helmet losing abit of power doesnt worry me either.

G’day Derek, I’m in KA4 junior Light using a ka100. I am 15-20 kg heavier than my competitors and they are starting to get quicker than me in pace. Do you have any racing or tuning tips to help me stay competitive. Thanks, Hugo

[@PowerRepublic]

Hugo, jump up to KA3. then the weight won't be as much a problem for you as the class weight is higher and you have more power. in the low power catagories, weight and body height are a disadvantage.

[@garraway63]

@@PowerRepublic yes, my goal is ka3 but I have just come off my p plate and I need 6 more races to get to ka3. I have just entered into the Golden power series in ka4 junior heavy and I got 7th.
