GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ENGINE
The “TaG” engines have been expressly designed and developed for the powering of karts
for hobby racing on closed tracks, destined for this specific purpose. When designing this
new line of engines, the technical solutions already adopted for the high performance
engines were considered, in order to guarantee the highest reliability of components,
under the condition that the operating limitations are respected.
Depending on the final destination and use of the vehicle (age and weight of drivers, if for
real or hobby racing etc) different versions of the engines are available, based on different
cubic capacities, different engine powers, type of induction (either piston port or reed
valve) and type of cooling (air or water).
In particular the
EASY-KART line of engines include:
•
Engine 62cc - Air cooled engine
- Piston Port Type
•
Engine 100cc/125cc - Air cooled engines
- Reed valve
The motors are with single cylinder using the two stroke principle.
The cylinder and the crankcase are in light alloy.
The pressed in liner is made of centrifugated cast iron, machined from the full to guarantee
the best possible stability.
The head is separated from the cylinder and secured by studs.
The crankshaft is built up and supported by two ball-bearings. The crankshaft is of steel
alloy, hardened and tempered , as is the connecting rod which runs on roller bearings.
The igniton includes a 4 pole stator/rotor with integral pick-up, an H.T. coil and an
electronic unit with micro-processor (Power-Pack), complete with harness.
The main features of the ignition are:
- During the start of the engine, the power-pack activates a booster which increases the
spark energy to facilitate the starting of the engine.
- The ignition system permits, through the electronic unit, the onboard battery recharging
during the normal use of the engine.
- The spark is generated also without a battery: it is therefore possible, in case of
emergency, to start the engine with an external starter unit.
The engine has an integrated electric starter; by pushing the start button the starter
activates a bendix type gear which engages the starter ring assembled on the clutch.
The engine is provided with an automatic dry centrifugal clutch with low maintenance and
with interchangeable sprocket.
