I just picked up a tag kart with a Leopard MY09 engine on it and am hooked! Once I started to drive the kart harder into the corners I noticed a hesitation when getting back into the throttle. Just to get everyone up to speed, the motor fires right up, low end pulls good, mid power is good, and top end is good. I’ve played with the basic carb settings and have not made any progress on the “hesitation”. Runs great down a straight, and if you ease into the pedal around a corner you’re ok, but if you’re on the gas the kart will literally come to a stop. In my option it didn’t have the fuel after the long straight to match the air entering once back on the gas. Tried going richer on the adjustments but haven’t been able to get it resolved. Just curious if anyone has experienced this problem and or could steer me in some direction. Running 100 octane fuel, at 16:1... carb pop off is 11psi, fulcrum height is flush or (.085) below gasket face, new needle and seat (holds 8 psi), new diaphram and gaskets, low speed 2-1/4 out, high 1-1/8 out. Also to note, i have pulled the reeds and don’t see any cracks or gaps between cage and petals. This is beginning to frustrate me ?
