This month we are happy to wetcome
a new membet to the writing stalt here at
National Katt News. This is the lirst of several parts on the complex bui lascinating
world of carburetors that E.C. Eirt has written.
E.C. has been a major lactor in karting over the past
two decades thtough his work with Tillotson Ltd both as
an advisor and head ot their R & D Center. To mosl at
least in the motorcycle or kailing lrade, E.C. is well known,
but to any newcomers we will give you a briet took at
what this man has accomplished ovet the last three decades. We could probably write a book on all his personal
accomplishments, but we'll let him do that. ln lhe early
si,rlies, he was involved in motorcycle racing and helped
develop the technology still being used in todays racing
bikes. His innovations as an engine tumer labeted him the
"Guru'of the l00cc and l25cc motoctoss engines. He
helped design and prcmote the Mini Grand prix bike craze
ot the sixties and holds morc than a couple records in
both drag bike and moloctoss racing.
ln his spare time he managed to ollet his
se.yices to several ol the leading motorcycle
magazines and newspapers as their Technical Editot. His articles included factory
testing ol racing components, evaluation
testing and How-to anicles lor motorcycle
racerc and karters alike. ln the lale seven-
ties, E.C. became involved in kail rccing
and took on the task ol being Technicat
Editor lor several Karting magazinesas welt
as holding national seminarson racing carburetorsand engines.His involvementwith
Rarting started simply enough as a hobby
and pastime to get away lrcm the pressures of motorcycling,but his talentshave
quickly been recognized and utilized in this
sport as well. E.C. maintains a lully
equipped racing shop for lactory and privateer contenders and continues to build winntng components in the mototsports filed.
In the past lew years, E.C. has helped develop the popular ECH-3488, the ECHL355A and the ECH9-191GTillotsoncarburetorc for kart racing.
We are very proud to have E.C. join
lorces with us. His column wil! be entiiled
"Slip Stream'and will cover a varietyol topics on carburetorc and karting in generat. E.C.
will also welcomeyour commentsand questions
which you can address to "SIip Stream.c/o National KarI News 51535 EittersweetBd, Granger, lN.

. h e b o t t o ml i n ew a s
that few racerscould alford the cost of this breakageand zero
dependabilityso the classstructure just about died becauseof
these problems.
Last year before the 1992 season got started,W.K.A. got
with the people from Wiseco Piston and Horstman Manufact u r i n ga n d g a v et h e m t h e g r e e nl i g h t t o m a k ep i s t o n sa n d r o d s
for the Briggs engineswith the same spec as that of the stock
parts but out of materialthat would hold up to the horsepower
of the Super Stock Class.
The SuperStock Classis now seeingan up-swingin growth.
The overallacceptanceof the class hasskyrocketed.The cost
of buildinga good SuperStock is %the cost of buildinga good
Limited and it is very close to being just as fast a ride. A good
Super Stock takes half the time to maintainas a Limitedand a
quarterof the time to maintainas a good Stocker.
With the high tech of todays' Limitedsthese Stateof the Art
engineshavebecomevery costlyto build and they break more
often. Which is another big cost to the racer.
What is the bottom line to all of this? Well for sure nothing
will ever take the place of Box Stock racing becauseof the
competitivelevelof racingthat it is. But mark my word, by next
season the Super Stock Class will be one of the biggest
classesgoing nationallyand on the Home Front.
Okay let'sassumethat I now haveyour interestlevelup. You
havedecidedthat you havebroken enought Box Stock Carbs
and you're tired of working an averageof 24 hours a week in
the shop on your stockerto keep it competitiveand would like
to put in some more TV time.
T o t o p i t o f f y o u j u s t b r o k ea n o t h e ro i l d i p p e r l a s tt i m e o u t .
You got lucky that the rod didn't weld itself to the crank and
hand grenadethe motor. But after miking the crankshaftyou
know there is enough wear on it that you will haveto replaceit
with a new one or it will break again next week.
While you're there you know you better replacethe piston
and rings becausethey both havethree (3) raceson them and
the engineseal is not as good as neededf or a race motor. Plus
maybe it would be more fun to go a little faster and you just
noticedthat you have another cracked carburetor.
To makeyour move into the SuperStock Classyou'regoing
to haveto do a little shopping.The best advice I can give you
here is buy right the f irst time and you won't haveto do it over.
So let'smake us up a shoppinglist and then we will cover what
to do with the piecesas we put the motor back together.
The partsthat we will needare as follows: piston, rings,rod,
Tillotsoncarburetor,filter adaptor,filter, intakemanifold,fuel

For the most part you will havea flat spot off the turn or a bog

don't know about and for the most part the carburetorgets

Stockers, about 4 or 5 minutes. Now we're ready to go buy

Let'sassumethat on the used motor it is a .020overand was
just bored three (3) racesago to that size. I would advisethat
y o u t a k e y o u r b l o c k w i t h y o u t o t h e k a r ts h o p a n d l e t t h e m p u t
a stressplate on it and fit the new pistonto it. More than likely
you can get by with a Wiseco1993P2pistonwhich is .020over.
For piston to wall clearanceyou want .0055to .0065.lf a used
block won't clean at thesespecsthen I would advisehoning it

This is the neat thing about the Wiseco"Super Stock" Forged
Pistons.They start off at a 1993PSwhich is the standardsize
and then go in steps of .005thousandthsto .030over.
On a new block don't worry about honing it. A new standard

claimsto be unlikeother oil additives
becauseit treats th€ metal itself. In short it
is not an oil additive.But you do put it in
your oil so that it can get a free ride to

What does Pro-Tecdo? As th€ name

be used. How much ot this wondor stuff
do you hav€ to use? Well, lor th€ most
part a ratio of 2 ouncas to one qt. of oil or
one lb. ot greaseis enough.ll you're in a
hurry and want to get all the gains possible in half the time us€ 4 ouncesto one

Pro.Toc and Four'Cyclc Baclng
For the last year and a halt I have
been racing four-cyclekarts. In the very
beginningI noticedcylinderwall scuffing.
Buildingthe motorsloosedidn't solvethe
probl€m.All that did for me was drop
cylinderpressureand cul down on torque.
Ring wear was driving mo crazy. Pro-Tec
pul a stop to oxtensivgwear. What really
sold me was what happenedlast week.
Dummyme, I drainedthe oil out of one of
my engin€s,(Yes I did it, too),you know
iho rost ol the story;but I'm going to tell it
anyway.
The phonerang and by the time I got
bEckto my engino, I had torgottenthat I
had drained, but nol r€placedthe oil in my
very best engine.I had just put a
Magnetronon to do some resoarchon timing. I put this engineon the onginestand
and started running the be-iezzesout ot il.
Aftsr stopping end starting it 5 or 6 tim€s
it finallydawnedon mo that I had not put
oil back in tho motor!Needlosslo say I
about had a coronaryand with a quick
yank ot the plug lead, I shut the motorott.
I knew lhat th6 best thing at th6 momont
was to get som€ oil in it while it was still
hot. I poured in oil (WithPro-Tec)and
boforeI let it start,I pulledit througha
dozentimgs,and then fired tho motor.
Wh6n the motor lired I rowed it up lo
5,000R.P.M.and held it there for abouts
seconds.Afterthat I just rewed it up and
down the scale for a while.I l6t it run tof 3
or 4 minulesthen shut it off. Now I had to
mak€ a dgcisionon whetherto open it up
and look lor damageor torgetit for the
tim€ being.I had only one hour left to get
it back onto the kart and to the 'Barn' for
an indoorrace that evening.
Since I had used Pro-Tecin the oil
before.I made thg decision,based on
tests I'd seen (Pro-Teccan stand over
400,000lbs. of pressurebeforegalling)to
iust go on lo lhe races.Not only did the
kart run flawlessly,it won. YesterdayI
pulledthe enginedown to the last bolt and
nut. Nowhorein it was lhere a trace of the
engineover runningwithoutoil. The valve
guidesare still perfect,.0005clearanceon
the rod. Therewas no sign of pistonor
cylinderwall scoringeither.I'm not lelling
you lo drain the oil out ol your engineand
run il, but if you do a dumb, dumb trick
like I did wouldyour motorturn out the
same \^raywith no damage?
2-Cycle Engines:
T€stingPro-Tecin 2-cycletuel made
ms a littlo nervous,but the man that goes
the tastestis the one that gamblesa little.
I discoveredthat when I mix a ratioof 2
oz. of Pro-Tecin a gallonof Pre Mix, that I
can take that fuel, put it in the test
machinoand pull upwardto 250,000lbs.
ol pressurebelore I galledthe tester.
Now, the way I see it this meansthat
enginetemp. can climb higherthan ever,
beforeI make a one piece part out of my
engine.Now there is a kickerhere and
thal is that Pro-Tecwill not blendwith all
oils.There are some oils in the vegetable
familyit doesn't like. so if in doubt,send a
sampleot your oil to a Pro-Tecdistribulor
and they will test it tor you
PRO.TECGREASE:
Pro-Techas recently introduceda new
white groase.This is an overkillgrease
with tho trick stuff in it. water doesn'tget
to it and il will bl€nd with oil which makes
tor a very good pre lube when puttingan
enginetogether.
PRO.TECXL.24OPENETRANTSPRAY:
XL-240is also a new Pro-Tecoroduct.
From what testingI've done, at the moment this looks like it might be the best
thing since pop-cornand candy.Chains
will lov6 XL-240.The XL-240will get down
insidethe chain and when the carriergoes
away th6 metal is protectedcompletely.
The XL-240will also work as an engine
assembl€lubricantalong with the grease.
The hot tip here is to spraythe part first,
then put th€ greaseon top ot it, (insid6ot
your molor and in your wheel bearings).
Sprayyour rear wheel bearingsanctit will
penetrateright into the melal.
Thereare still thingsthat I don't know
about Pro-Tec.The peoplethat make it
don't even know all the answers.In tact,
they may neverreallyknow how good this
wonderlube is. One thing I do know is
this; if you want to run tasterand longer,
then Pro-Teccan and will help you do it.

The first step in blueprintingis to get all of last weeks race

parts easier when you need them. Now comes the fun part.
Hereyour favoriteracer,son or daughtercan help. Everything
that will come out or off of you carb, do it.
When the time comes for your carb to go back togetherand
you find that you havewound up with extra parts,don't throw
them away.They havea need in the life of your mixer and will

parts.
I'm back. Scratch around in your bowl of parts and find the
f uel cap. Look at it real close and see if there are any cracksin

carb is probably a silver screen in color. The part number of
this screenis 95-'l70 and is a very f ine mesh.When clean it will

some copies on the market that don't do as good a job of

fuel thru a paint strainer or a coffee filter. These filters are
made out of some kind of materialthat the fuel will wash out a

foreign objects in the fuel and keep your fuel blend lint free.
Another NO-NO. Don't be putting zip ties on the fuel lines
wherethey go onto the tank,fuel filtersor cap to the carb.This
can causean air leak into the f uel systemthat can developinto
a tuning problem that will drive you up a wall.Just replacethe
fuel lines and don't let them get hard. They won't come off. ll

Now, let'sturn our attentionto the fuel pump plates.With a

yourneeds.But, due to the fact that this is a tech item on some
carbs,this operationis best left up to someonethat has lots of
experiencein this f ield.Bottom line!We at Tillotsonhavedone
our homeworkhere and its best you leavethis area alone. In
short,don't try to reinventthe wheel.

holein the carb. This hole is how the fuel pump gets ils
pressuresignal to pump up fuel from the tank. Again this
operationis best done with a Bridgeport Mill. The problem
facedthere is Tillotson had to put this hole in a certainspot in
thecarb body. When the engine manufacturermakesthe reed
orthecarb adaptors,he sometimesmissesthe hole in the carb
just a touch. In the carb itself, there is for the most part,
enoughroom to move the hole a touch one way or the other.
Thef irst step is to bolt the reedto the carb. Now put the carb
in the mill vise to hold it. Be sure that you put somethingsoft
on the side of the vise that the carb locatingpins for the pump
platefaceto squeezeinto. (l use old checkbookcoversforthis
p a d d i n g .W
) ith a long flutemill,pick up the holein the reed
valveand cut the reedand the carb in the sameoperation.For
HL Seriescarburetorsuse a % inch end mill for this operation
and HR Seriesuse a 9/64 mill.
On some ol the rotary motors and motors that havea carb
adaptoryou first haveto drill the carb out. Then make a pin to
fit in this new bigger hole to transferthe spot to the blind side
of thecarb adaptor,to know whereto movethe hole f or perfect

the holesall the way f rom the carb to the pressureside of the
motorare in line with each other. Alter all the metalpartshave
had the holes matched up to each other, check the gaskets
and make sure that they don't hang over into the holes.
With the US-820and the Dap TS-40,removethe choke and
choke lever. You can plug the holes with silicone. Here we
preterto turn and make pressfit alloy pins to go in theseholes.
Then set the carb up in a lathe and machinethe air inlet side

much fuel we get into the wet slide of the carburetor.The way

when we're in the processof startingthe motor. At this point,
for easy starting,the throttle valve is closed.
Never have the throttle plate set where the carb will idle.
Why? Thereare a lot of reasonsfor this. 1) lt's a racemotor and
I have never seen a race won at an idle speed. 2) Satety.

In all gas carbs, I find that for kart racing,the best place to
startwith is at .085.Set this mearsurementwith a depth mikeor

at .065for a richer mixtureand torque. lf the needsare for top
endand a little leanerrunning carb then set this measurement
at.075.Now when you bend the arm to get this measuremenl
don'tjust tweak up one end so that it makesthe measuremenl
at the end of the fulcrum arm pad. Very carefullyuse a pair ol
smoothlaw pliersand bend the arm to the shapein the picture
so that the pad of the arm is 90o to the base of the carb.
Would you believethat we are getting closer to setting the
pop-offpressure?Not quite yet.

light tan to brown color. Motor temp 250o to 350o max on a
control. A lot of people tell me that a TS-40 or US-820has to

Never mix up any more fuel than you need for race day.
Dump left over fuel into your race hauler.Never use left-over
