Though there are critics on both sides of the fence when it comes to the benefits of the new Animal engine, one thing that neither side can dispute is how much easier setting the valve lash is on the Animal. Anyone who has tried setting the valves on the Raptor will probably tell you that it is not their favorite feature of the engine. Not only is it time consuming, but it also requires special grinders to do the job. Plus, the Raptor requires the head and valve springs to be removed when a …

Last month we covered the tools that we need to have at the track. This month we want to take it a step further. Every racer’s goal is to be in the tech room at the end of the night, which usually means we had a successful day at the track. We will help you to have the tools you need to disassemble your engine for tech inspection. Being in tech can be a nervous experience for some racers, and having the techman breathing down your neck while you hunt for or try and borrow tools only makes …
Over the last couple of months, we have been building our toolboxes for the track and the tech barn. Although many of the tools are very general and self-explanatory, there are a few that require further explanation on their application and use. This month, we will dig into and explain a few of these specialty tools. The flywheel tools can be a bit overwhelming if you have never used them before, but in reality, once explained, they are very simple to use. The tools necessary vary whether …
Last month we showed how to remove the flywheel from both the Animal and flathead engine. This month, we want to dig a bit deeper into this subject. We will illustrate with more detailed images, the proper way to remove the flywheels from both of these engines. We will begin with the flathead engine. Locate the flywheel holder onto the two thickest fins. These are the ones on each side of the aluminum area that holds the magnet. Use the starter clutch tool, or a 15/16 socket if necessary, …
In last month’s installment of the “Grassroots Tech Barn,” we discussed the initial assembly of your new chassis. From an out of the box state, we assembled our chassis and short of a few minor details, we were track ready. This month we want to dig a bit deeper into a very critical part of kart assembly; seat mounting. An improperly mounted seat can seriously affect the performance of your chassis. We will discuss the placement of the seat as well as the mounting procedure. To get …
