Race Kart Troubleshooting

PROBLEM	CAUSE	REMEDY
The Kart does not want to turn into Corners.	Understeer too much rear end grip (Balance is out)	-Move front track out, -Move rear track out, -Add rear seat stays, -add rear torsion bar, -move set forward, -remove front torsion bar, -increase rear tire pressures -check toe out (start with 1mm out)
The kart turns in too quickly.	Oversteer too much front end grip (balance is out)	-Move front track in, -move front track in -remove rear seat stays -remove rear torsion bar -move seat back -add front torsion bar -lower rear tire pressures -check toe out
Kart does not grip in corners/ other karts are faster in corners.	Too little grip/ speed to fast too much slide, loss of time in corner	-raise seat -move front track out -move rear track in -remove seat stays -remove torsion bar(s) -adjust tire pressures
Kart bogs down in Corners. (Kart becomes unstable, hops and loss of time in corner)	Too much grip in setup (when rectified it can provide better acceleration and in turn better top end speed)	-Lower seat -move front and rear track out -add seat stays -add torsion bar(s) -adjust tire pressures
Other Karts are much faster in the straights	Gear ratio too short/ Wrong driving line in previous corner	-Take off a few teeth -evaluate driving line -shorten pipe length (flex flange) -check carby settings
Kart lacks acceleration over short distances	Gear ratio too tall/ Wrong driving line in previous corner	-add a few teeth -evaluate driving line in corners -lengthen pipe length -check carby settings -Check kart setup
	!!!!Remember tires are best when new and could play a key role in getting your correct setup!!!!
