In particular they can tell you if carburetion is good or not. You can see this from the colour of the insulation: if it is light hazel nut colour it is good, if it is dark, probably carburetion is...

Among the various geometries concerning the set up of any four-wheeled vehicle, there is one that is often mentioned: camber. Let’s see what it is exactly and how it affects kart behavior.

Karting needn’t necessarily …freeze when the cold season steps in, however, all round, it is better to take some precautions to face the lower temperature.
With winter upon us, it is normal to expect cold weather. And for anyone who is exposed to the air, like kart drivers, rally drivers are to be envied), the environmental situation is really felt. At this point, as we say in another column too, you can decide whether to hang up your kart or keep on going to the track for a few laps. However, if you decide to continue using your kart and especially if you want to go back home in one piece, it is better to do a few jobs on it, technical and non-technical. Let’s take a look at one or two things that you could do.
