      @@PowerRepublic Look into Endurance racing, yes not as fast and 4 stroke, easier on the body on SL1's and lots of laps. My last QLD race we still saw 107kph at Ippy during a 12 hour. It's bigger in NSW with 4 separate series each getting over 20 karts per race for a minimum of 6 hours upto 24 hours.

    Really cool that you chose the old school OTK M6 Nassau front panel on your Tony Kart! Keep up the racing and those last 3/10ths will come soon!

    Hi Derek, do you mind doing a video showing how to set -up the fuel lines on the mini-rok, I'm not sure how to connect the breather tubes and fuel return lines. Thank you

    • @PowerRepublic

    Yo Derek, great to see you back in the kart. The old fox never forgets... I have a question, maybe you can help me. What is the best opening for a spark plug (rotax max)? I hear from 0.45mm to 0.90mm but what is best?

    • @PowerRepublic
      @PowerRepublic  5 месяцев назад

      Hey Jord, thanks for watching. It was mad fun but I’ll wait another year before the next race day. As for spark gap, I use the Denso out of the pack for years and I think they are close 0.65mm. Set em there and get on with something else like optimum tyres pressures ImO
