I have a few items coming in as I prep for 2012 Season at NOLA Motorsports park.
- KT100 Engine, mount, and carb
- RLV-L3 pipe and header
- Bell vortex helmet
Hopefully I can do some wrenching next week, and get them installed and start checking configurations and weights.

December 1st, 2011
I was researching purchasing of some new engines for the upcoming season at NOLA Motorsports Park and found that my setup is not the norm. You must keep in mind I am a complete rookie to kart racing, and therefore had no idea what the norm was for a KT100 engine set-up.
So, I start looking to buy engines from many of the normal online places and notice that they all have the crankcase reversed from how my kart is set-up. It turns out my kart has been set-up for inward drive by flipping the crankshaft, filling old pulse line, and creating new pulse fitting on crankcase. Now I don’t even know if my current engine will be legal for my class!?! AWESOME!
More to come on how things turn out…
