    Hey there. I just bought a nice 02 CRG chassis with a Parilla Leopard motor. I wanted to get it out to IMI or bandi asap to race/practice. I was wondering if anyone knows a good method for tuning the carb on these. I also was wondering who has good deals on helmets, suits, etc. Anyone ever play with the pipe on one of these? i had to take it off to fit it in my buddies jeep, and the “wrap” near the part of the pipe kinda came off. now it won’t seal up. I was also doing a kind of blast through my hilly neighborhood, and the clutch started to smoke/burn, so i shut it off immediately. Do those go out a lot? thanks for the help

    Hey streets2trackracer,

    We run the parilla leopard, and it has been doing great. The best way to tune the carb is to show you in person, so we can see whats best for your engine. Im a little confused by the pipe part. But the clutch, you dont have to worry if you were just using it on the street. Take apart the clutch assemply and clean the drum with some dregreaser, so the shoes can have a good grab. They usually last for a good amount of time. The clutch engages at about 4000 rpm close to idling speed, on the track its hooked up the whole time basically like direct drive. If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me or private message me or ask here. Hope this helps.
    :cheers:

    Actually, the neighborhood is really smooth, just hilly with a lot of twisty turns. Probably one of the best “hoods” you could run a kart at :rotate:
