Richard,
You’d be best served to ask a few guys in your area for a basic setup, specific to the tires you all run. You don’t need to worry about reaching out across the country, most racers are pretty friendly and will help you get to a good base line.Just in case you don’t have it, here’s the crg guide. It’s pretty good: http://www.crg-america.com/pdfs/CRG_Kart_Tuning_Manual.pdf
Also, the arrow kart guide has a few items that are specific to hard tires and low horsepower, which relates to the 206:

Adam thanks so much for the reply any thoughts on wheel size front and rear? 130mm front 180mm rear wondering if there is a national spec rule governing max wheel size and with low hp which size setup is the best. Thanks again for your help and your reply. Richard
As far as I know, there isn’t a national series for lo206 yet. Some places like new castle have a sr class and a cik class with different rules for wheels. You’ll want to check with the series you plan to race in.
What tire compound are you going to use in Florida? The tire compound will drastically change how the chassis itself is set up. Up here we run the Duro tire which is basically a rental kart tire. They are a little un-balanced front to rear and inherently want to make the kart push, so our seats end up farther forward than on karts running Mojo or Mg. We also use the full 7.10 rear tire so we use 210mm rear wheels, however I know in other areas of the country and Canada a 6.0 rear tire is used so they run the 180mm rear wheel.
