Go-Kart Carburetors Are So Crucial To Performance!

A properly tuned carburetor is the life of any engine and will end in maximum use of the horse-power of your go kart engine. Tuning a carburetor is essential and there's no universal set up for every engine. A setting which will augment the performance of one engine won't always do the same for another engine and so every carburetor must be jetted for each engine. This is a highly specialized job but once you have mastered the method you will soon learn by looking at the plugs what changes have to be made to extract the best performance from your engine.

Which Carburetor?

The standard of your go kart carburetor is most vital! If you have a super engine but a non responsive carburetor your performance will be significantly diminished. We basically sell 2 types; the Tillotson and Walbro range. These are known for the standard of their engineering and are amongst the most well liked brands utilized in go kart racing. The Comer-Tillotson HL166B carburetor is one of the finest on the market and is brilliantly designed and engineered for max power and throttle reply.

Tillotson is one of the earliest manufacturers in the world with operations dating back to 1914. Float carburetors were first made by Tillotson Manufacturing in Toledo and in the late 1940s they invented the diaphragm carburetor which replaced the float one and meant that engines could operate in just about any angle or position. This was an amazing invention and led on to the production of lawn and garden gear including chain saws and blowers that might be operated, even the other way up.

Straight after that, it was found that if you mounted a chainsaw or mower engine on a frame with four wheels you had a go kart and so this form of transport was developed. Tillotson?s innovative and brilliantly engineered carburetors became the standard for longevity, trustworthiness and outstanding performance. These have continued to be improved with the result the respected and widely used Tillotson HL166B is now one of the most renowned in all the world and has remained for most, the carburetor of choice for all expectant go kart racers.

In 2007 Tillotson introduced a new line of go kart carburetors, in particular engineered for the KF class engines. The HW-10, HW-11 and HW-12 are engineered to maximise the power potential of your go kart engine. Fit one and it will not take long before you are certain that few other carburetors come near in terms of response, power and performance.

The other brands we recommend and sell confidently is the Walbro range. Mention the Walbro WT-644 and the Wa-125 to any go kart enthusiasts and they'll immediately recognize the standard of these carburetors. We also stock a large range of Walbro carburetor parts. If you really want the best from your go kart you must ensure that you are using the absolute best carburetors and so we unhesitatingly suggest the Tillotson and Walbro models for perfect performance. Settings will be prescribed by the engine makers and alterations can be made accordingly so that your machine is brilliantly tuned and delivering maximum performance.
