GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ENGINE
This engine of the "TaG" series (Touch and Go) has been expressly designed and
developed to power 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 applied, in order to guarantee the highest reliability
of components, when the operating limits are respected.
The motor is a single cylinder using the two stroke principle.
The cylinder and the crankcase are in aluminium alloy
.
The pressed in liner is made of centrifugated cast iron, fully machined to guarantee the best
possible stability and sliding homogeneity.
The head is separated from the cylinder and secured by studs.
The crankshaft is built and supported by ball-bearings. The crankshaft is of steel alloy,
hardened and tempered, as is the connecting rod which runs on roller bearings.
The ignition includes a 2 pole stator/rotor, an H.T. coil, a starter relay and complete wiring
harness.
The spark is generated also without a battery: therefore, in case of emergency, the engine
can be started with an external starter unit.
The engine has an integrated electric starter. By pushing the start button, the starter activates
a Bendix type gear that engages the starter ring assembled on the clutch.
The engine is provided with a dry centrifugal clutch with low maintenance and with
interchangeable sprocket.
The carburettor is a diaphragm type (series Tillotson HL), it includes an integrated fuel pump
and filter, and it is able to operate in any position.
The battery (12 V - 9Ah) is a sealed, no maintenance battery and is supplied together with a
support box, which can be easily adapted to all existing chassis.
The exhaust system, included in the engine package, is already tuned and optimized to
ensure the best possible performance.
