3. Instructions for mounting
the Raket 95 engine onto the
kart.
The process for mounting the Raket 95
engine onto your kart can of course vary
somewhat depending on what type of kart
you have. Below we provide some advice
and guidelines that are normally appli-
cable to most types of karts.
1.
The Raket 95 engine is designed to fit di-
rectly onto the engine support that already
exists on your kart. You will need four M8
Allen (hexagonal) bolts in order to attach
the engine to the engine support.
2.
Your engine has an engine sprocket with
11 teeth. It is normally a good idea to try
an 80-tooth sprocket on the rear axle,
but then it is of course up to you to test
different settings for different tracks. A
curvy track may require a larger sprocket
= more teeth, while a straight and long
track may require a smaller sprocket on
the rear axle.
3.
The great majority of karts have a holder
for the silencer as standard, and the ac-
companying silencer is suitable for use
with such a standard holder. It comes
with three springs that hold the silencer
against the engine’s exhaust pipe, and it
will require two slightly longer springs to
hold the silencer in the support, for which
you can use the kart’s standard springs.
4.
A holder for the throttle cable can be
found between the carburettor and the
carburettor flange, while a lever with a
holder for the cable can be found on the
throttle shaft.
5.
You need to have a CIK-approved inlet
silencer to be able to drive and race your
kart. There are several different models
available and all are suitable for use with
the flange on the inlet crown.
6.
How you will then fasten the inlet silencer
to your kart depends on the type of inlet
silencer that you have chosen. We recom-
mend that you are careful when it comes
to fastening the inlet silencer since this
normally is required to absorb quite hard
knocks. We can certainly recommend
the use of Radne Motor’s holder (article
number 5208).
7.
When it comes to mounting the battery,
battery box and the connection between
the battery and the starter motor, a de-
scription of how to do this can be found in
a separate section of this manual.
