I was checking out a go-karting expedition online this month and found myself browsing the company’s tech blog. In it they were discussing a problem they had with the 250,000ltrs of fuel they purchase each year. The go-karts kept loosing power and then stalling. This struck a chord as a number of our two-stroke engines […]
