The membrane shall always be placed nearest to the carburettor housing, otherwise the valves will not work. Then take a last check of the channel between the crankcase and the carbu- rettor.

  • Page 11 Users Manual The ignition system The Raket 85 is equipped with a transistor ignition system, which is specially made for Raket kart engines. It is very reliable. Nor- mally it does not give any problems. Adjustment of the Raket 85 ignition system starts by adjusting the distance between the flywheel and ignition unit.
