This was race 4 on 12-30-21. I got a good start and jumped out to a good lead, but my exhaust gas temps (EGTs) were climbing rapidly as I accelerated down the back stretch. I felt a loss of power and pulled the clutch in to save the motor. It's a real bummer because the kart was running great and I think I had a competitive shot at doing well. That's racing!

Old karter's adage....engines always run strongest just before they blow up.....you have a good attitude about it.

@irepairofpc31familykartrac51 2 года назад

Your right about that. Murphy’s law of kart racing. I can’t tell you how times I was leading a race and the motor let go.

@pupdiggity4599 Год назад

YEP! Done that plenty of times!

Due respect for your talent and efforts. I ran the shifter kart road course circuit in the early 2000’s doing about five or six races a season. VIR, Road Atlanta, Charlotte, and a lot of very smaller road courses which were more fun in some regards as I camped at all circuits in my 6’x10’ hauling trailer. Your kart and competition was, in my opinion, the ultimate experience. It drew the few and far between that had the mechanical skills, tools, time, talents of many variety, and finances and could hand make a rocket. It was sometimes only an audible tremor behind me that warned me of the impending pass, to put it politely. Good luck. Grin big.

Going 140mph down a straight and casually adjusting something on the screen was absolutely nerve racking to watch. I have no idea why but jesus that was wild. 1:51

Lol... I was looking at my temps. Thanks for watching!

What were the EGT's? Looks like about 1230?

@gunghoadventures871 Год назад

Paulie , I have some footage of you down the main straight . Will look for it and send it your way. See in in Daytona

So what engines do the enduro laydown karts use? I have a frame and I want to get into them…

@dos_gringos9853 2 года назад

What would cause your exhaust gas temps to climb like that? Would that be an exhaust valve issue normally?

@PaulieGattoRacing 2 года назад

I had a small air leak where the carbs mount to the engine. So the added air made the fuel mixture too lean.

@thejman3489 2 года назад

That looks insane!

@dennisyoung4631 Год назад

Or - the piston gets way too “warm” and the melted piston metal locks the rings so they no longer seal properly. 7000+ revs did not help. This wasn’t a kart engine, but a bike - nor was it nearly as highly tuned. There was an air leak - those things need their torques checked periodically. You know they’re leaky when they start idling up. Was glad it quit fairly close (5 minutes or so of pushing) to home. Was glad it did not *seize* on the freeway.
