personally I'm more of a fan of the old style videos but you are still our hero Derek! we are learning more and more from your amazing knowledge. keep going with this!
Is there a chance we could get an in-depth series like that of the KZ. Would just be interesting to see what type of hone you guys use, and some of the finer things like piston fitting and setting up the crank in tolerance. Would be nice to see how the pros go about it!
we have a KZ engine build series, have you checked it out??? www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiI3sKU3d7yAhWVwjgGHQRWBYcQwqsBegQIFBAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DOkSgdCe7OVA&usg=AOvVaw0I88LdappuTu9cnG8WwNq-
Pole position viewer!! 🤣 Great video like always, need a top end job soon so great to see how it's done. What about measuring the squish and setting the ignition? 🧐
Hey Rob, thanks heaps for tuning in and sharing the videos. spot on, the measuring didn't make the edit broski, ran outta time. hence why the video is up a bit late and we had to skip last week cause we are renovating. tune in next week as we reveal the new look HOUSE OF POWER!!!!
Hi Power Republic love you videos and was wondering if you havent already done so, could you please do a guide on the yahmah KA100 motor rebuild. Cheers
Hello there from Holland. Is there a way to remove and install the crackshaft and balance shaft bearings without a press? Or is it then an impossible job to do? Thanks. Bjørn
yeah you can use a heat gun or gas bottle to heat up the cases. we have a video on that, check this out........ www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiY6-iqqOXzAhW0umMGHS86Ag4QwqsBegQIARAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D05ESgCaFWJs&usg=AOvVaw0eZJ4Bfj4gCgEQUjurCjXl
Howdy PR, I am new to karting and bought a Rotax before lock down, whilst I tried to run it regularly it now wont start and I was looking for a video that I can learn how to get my Kart going after not using it during lock down. Any direction would be awesome.
Hey Jeff, you could probably just order a new piston. in saying that, we always hone the cylinders, but if your at home and want to just go for it, you should be sweet.
hey derek, a few questions, hope you can answer them. - what should I be able to get in terms of rpm with a rotax sr non evo? - how do I know if my gear ratio is too low or too high? - what is the lowest gear ratio without being harmful to the engine? greetings jordy
Hi love the channel. In the UK we are moving on to e10 fuel 10% ethanol. I believe this will destroy 2 stroke engines. Do you have any advice on how to remedy this thanks.
Nah it should be fine. Maybe don’t store the fuel in the kart. And don’t use old fuel as the ethanol apparently can’t attract moisture. Other than that should be all sweet. If you can adjust your ignition timing to suit ? What engine have you got?
Hi there, do you have an recommendations on the best hone to use with Iame’s? Also to get the hone straight can you use a drill press or is there a better way? Cheers
sí amigo mío, me gustaría mucho, pero no estoy seguro de cómo hacerlo. ¿Lo sabías? también, muchas gracias por sintonizarnos y compartir los videos desde Argentina !!!!
Seemed to have a lot of end float in the crank. That's a hefty balancer You'd think the manufacturer would try and improve the basic balance of the piston/rod/crank instead of wasting power driving a balancer. Kart engines with comfort?? Suppose you don't want your foot to vibrate off the go pedal.

hey Jordy, normally programming will commence this coming weekend after the covid and renovation delays. thanks heaps for your honest feedback broski
Can you make a complete video on pull down and rebuild even if it's in a series
Hey Dan, sure Dan my friend. thanks for tuning in

Do you know any good site that take on this engine: tuning, hp, torque and in general go kart direct drive motor
Where are you located

Hi I have my x30 here and I am having trouble getting the cylinder to get to go through the head any tips would help thanks
What happened?
What do you need to do this parts list etc where can I learn to do it?

hey Tim, great idea, we have an older rotor at work that is in for the exact job. ill get busy and make it happen.......
When rebuilding the top end of an IAME X30 for the first time do you need to get the cylinder bore resurfaced? Thanks!

-13.500
-revs and speed will be too low/high compared to the enemy
- can’t hurt em with gearing IMO

Wich way should the arrow point on the piston?
almost always, arrow goes towards the exhaust port.
@@PowerRepublic thanks

Hola, como hago para subtitular en español? Saludos desde Argentina
sí amigo mío, me gustaría mucho, pero no estoy seguro de cómo hacerlo. ¿Lo sabías? también, muchas gracias por sintonizarnos y compartir los videos desde Argentina !!!!
Can you do a kz please
Hey Jules, we have a full series on KZ engine, the TM10B. have you check those ones out?
Loved this style of video. The coming together of all the components is great. 👍🏻
thanks legend!
Would you say this engine is less complex than a Rotax?
I would in the sense it doesn't have a power valve assembly to hook up. other than that, they are very similar
Hello power republic. I have a zanard x30 ime and I want to tune it. Any chance I could tune it with out using a mychron
yeah easi, could use a EGT or just slowly do it session by session checking the spark plug
Great Video 😎 Are You Going To Do A Video Of The Tools You Like To Use Or Maybe A Tool Box Tour ?? 🔧🔩🔨🧰
Hey Louie, thank you. we could do that. maybe in a few week after we have finished our renovations we could to an IGTV or Reels shop tour
Nice work 👍💯
thanks for tuning in and sharing the video😊
Is this engine going to BREAK IN or it's ready to race?
She’s ready to rock n roll.
