On 2009 type of front bumper, can you adjust the nose cone so you have the correct balance be twin front and rear wing down forces, and always have the nose cone in second hole from the bottom
Setup on the PVP kart in wet conditions:
With 150 mm. wide front wheels: treed width measure to the center of the wheels: Front wheel: 974 mm. ( 40 mm. spacer ). Rear wheel: 1028 mm. ( 12,6 mm spacer ). Mount the nose in hole no. 1 from the bottom, on new type of front bumper, second hole from the bottom and adjust the nose cone lover. and wing with 8 mm. tap in the middle position. with the clip under wing bracket, so the wing is lifted 10 mm. in the rear end. Tire pressure on rain tires: Bridgestone: 0.8 -0,9 atmosphere (13-15 psi.) on the front tire, and 0.8-1,0 atmosphere (13-15 psi.) on the rear tire. Dunlop KT6: 0.9-1,0 (13-14 psi) on front tire, and 0.9-1.0 ( 13-14 psi) on the rear tire.
Weight balance between front and rear: With 10 liter in the fuel tank, 35-37 % on the front wheel and 63-65% on the rear wheel.
Brake fluid: Castrol Response Super. Important: Use only this type of brake fluid, because otherwise it can damage the sealing in the brake system, and the sealing will be to big or to small.
Brakes: The brakes are self adjusting. Size of disk: Front ø164x5 mm. Rear: 164x5 mm. Division between front and rear brakes on the adjusting handle: 20mm. from center to center of the bolts, for the front brakes, 25mm. from center to center of the bolts, for the rear brakes. The bolts which hold the brake disc must not be to tight. The right way to do this, is to tighten them, and then slacken the nut 1/10 of a turn, on the new 2004 brakes, there is a 6 mm. bolt there hold brake pads, so it not come out of the caliper also tight this and then slacken it 1/10 of a turn, to make sure it is not bend the caliper in the middle.
Maintenance of brakes: If the brake pads are not releasing 100% from the disk, then separate the caliper and check the cleanse between the piston and the housing, clearance should be from 0,08 to 0,12 mm. next change the caliper seal part no. 1871 is for kart from 1998 and before, and for the new type 2004 Sealing no. 1871 are size ø34x2,94x3,2 and have marking: Brown, red, red, white, use part no. 1872 for caliper on kart from 1999 to 2003.. Sealing no. 1872 are size ø34x3,07x3x3 and have no marking.
Seat: You can fit the seat in tow different positions across the kart, by changing the two front seat mounts left to right and vice versa and turn the rear mount 180º. On the rear seat mount model 2000 is it possible to move the seat steeples from side to side 22 mm.º. On model 2006 is it possible to move the seat steeples from side to, both front and rear
Rack and pinion steering: It is possible to adjust the backlash of the rack and pinion by turning the two aluminum rings that hold the bearings, making sure the marks remain in line.
To save money and avoid damage the motor, is hear some information regarding petrol pressure with different size of needle valve seats on DELORTO carburetor: Needle valve seat no. 200, use pressure from 0,25 to 0,3 atmosphere (3,5-4,2 psi), Needle valve seat no. 250 from 0,15 to 0,2 atmosphere (2,1-2,8 psi), Needle valve seat no. 300 from 0,1 to 0,15 atmosphere (1,4-2,1 psi). I recommend size no. 250 for kart
