ParticipantThanks Rick, I see that it’s using somewhat the same carb that the Rotax uses. Do you change jets and needle positions similar to the Rotax?
August 3, 2007 at 1:44 pm #58817Rick Schmidt
ParticipantWell the main jet & needle are about the only thing that is the same. The idle jet is different and it is a pumper carb. It has a daiphram that injects a pulse of fuel into the venturi. Your a stock car racer. It’s kinda like an accelerator pump.
I’ve been studying and experimenting. It’s no more difficult, just different.

ParticipantI’d be remiss not to mention Vampire’s other, complimentary product line:

Hurt, you have so much depth!

ParticipantI’m not sure I could drink that brand. Too many sleepless nights reading Dracula in my pre-teens.
Besides, once you’ve met the Schmidterator 9000 XXL, there’s no going back!

ParticipantGood point!

ParticipantWell, it is official! After much deliberation and discovering that every new thing that I learn opened up about 50 other things that I need to learn, I bought a Kart.
KGB Espionage with a Biland Motor. I am already trying to get out of work early today so I can go up to IMI and drive for a while.

Nice, Josh. Steve has our kart and may be out at IMI in the next few days if you want to catch up with him.

ParticipantThanks guys, I will be out at IMI every chance that I can get! That place is pretty close to my house. If I could convince them to open earlier I would be there every day. 😉

I think Steve will be meeting me out there today, more than likely to show me how it’s done 🙂

ParticipantThanks Kirk.
I went out to IMI today, dropped some more $$$ on stuff…cause you can’t have enough stuff. Then once I finally got some things dialed in, and the rain stopped and the track dried out, I got to drive.
Damn that was fun! I can’t wait to get back out there…maybe tomorrow :driver
