I just bought a clone engine. I am brand new to Karting and have chosen to race on dirt here in Michigan.
When I installed the motor on my 2006 PRC Phenom I warmed it up and then it topped out on the tach at 6830 on the kart stand. I understand that when I am in the kart and the wheels aren't free spinning without any weight or friction from the track, my rpms will drop.
Is 6830 rpms good on the kart stand? I am reading that 6600 is good for running at in the "safe zone".
How many rpms will a kart lose from running free on a kart stand vs when it's put under load on a track?
Thanks,
Michael Frizzelle
