Funny you should mention that.
I have been having issues with the engine since I bought the kart with it backing out the crankcase bolts on that side. I have just bought a tube of loctite and had applied it to all the crankcase bolts and retightened them over the weekend. Then this happened.
I think this engine was done since the day I bought the Kart 3 months ago.
Funny thing is, I walked into this shop to buy a set of calipers for a 10 year old Cali Kart I have with a KT100 engine on it and I was "upsold" this kart. The reason being that a new Kart would prove to be more problem free for me in the long run. This kart has broken down on us ever time we have been out.
My KT100 has some carb issues and I gave up and have it in the track pro shop right now. It will be ready next week.
I am going to get a new engine for my sons kart, I am in no hurry right now because we cannot go out for 3-4 weeks now. I am traveling a lot over the next 3 weeks.
I hope to find a short block instead of a whole engine setup.
