10.3.C CLONE ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS

 

10.3.C.1 The intent of the clone classes is to provide a low cost out “out of the box” engine package for the beginner or budget minded kart racer. With that said, it is acknowledged that there are mutliple “clone” engine manufacturers, and that there are certain convenience and/or safety modifications that have to be allowed as well as some dimensional guide lines to verify the engines legality when the need arises to inspect internal components. The following rules are written to serve that purpose. Should the need to amend these rules in the interest of safety or equality in competition, they will be amended and the rule modification made clear on the track website and in the weekly drivers meeting (once the season has begun).


10.3.C.2 Approved engines – OHV engines generally referred to as Clones with a maximum displacement of 200 cc’s. (Current legal engines include the Lifan, Grey Hound, Harbor Freight Blue & Yellow, Jaing Dong, Yamakoyo, Blue Max)

To be measured from engine mounting flange to tip of muffler, following along the outside radius of the longest bend. Muffler must remain stock as produced. Tack welds to prevent “shell” from blowing apart are permitted. Header MUST be heat wrapped from flange to start of muffler. Muffler MAY NOT be wrapped. Brackets to reduce vibration/breakage permitted. Any aspect of the exhaust not compliant will result in disqualification with the following exception: The “baffle plug” located halfway inside the muffler exit has been know to blow out during a race. If a muffler is found with this missing PRIOR to a race, that kart will not be allowed to start that event. If found post-race, that car will be penalized to last place in that event.


10.3.C.6 Carburetor: Huayi type carb only. Choke assembly must be in place and functional, but may be fastened in the open position. Choke bore .810” dia max, venturi .615” max and throttle bore .751” max. NO MACHINING OF CARB BORE. Main metering jet, idle jet, and emulsion tube are non-tech.

10.3.C.15 Camshaft:  CLONE CAM RULE AMENDMENT (Released 3/14/10):

Following the release of a revised clone engine cam rule by the AKRA, WVMP's cam rule has been revised to remain uniform in rules with the AKRA.  New cam rule should read as follows:

Camshaft Requirements: Stock as cast camshaft only. Cam lobe base circle diameter .865" -.005”/+.010”
Duration check for Intake and Exhaust lobes (taken off pushrod). Intake duration of 218.5 degrees at .050 lift/85.5 degrees at .200 lift. Exhaust duration of 221.5 degrees at .050 lift/96.5 degrees at .200 lift. (All checks will allow +2 degrees for wear and gauge variances.)

Max Intake lift on cam .225” taken at the pushrod.
Max Intake lift at the valve .238” Taken on valve spring retainer with zero lash.
******************************************
Max Exhaust lift on cam .232” taken at the pushrod.
Max Exhaust Lift at the valve .242” Taken on valve spring retainer with zero lash.

Special note. Valve guide wear can give false valve lift readings when checking off the front of the valve spring retainer. It is advised to take readings at several other points around the retainer (back, and both sides) if wear is suspected of giving a false, unfavorable reading.

The CL-1 & CL-1M cams may be used IF THEY MEET THE ABOVE SPECS WHEN INSTALLED IN YOUR ENGINE!!!  The best way to make sure your engine is legal is to take it out of the box and LEAVE IT ALONE.  If you choose to change the cam just to gain  .005" of lift, help yourself.  If it doesn't pass tech when installed in your particular engine (due to tolerance variations in the engines), DON'T COMPLAIN TO US. 

Cam and crank gear cannot be altered or moved to change timing.


10.3.C.16 Fasteners: Non-tech, but must retain their original factory size. Heli-coils, studs, etc allowed for repair purposes.

10.3.C.19 Coatings: Internal performance coatings of any type not allowed.


10.3.C.20 Crankcase breathers are to be routed internally through the valve cover as originally intended in OEM configuration. No additional breathers allowed.


10.3.C.21 Pull Starter: The pull starter is non tech and optional. It may be removed to allow the use of an auxiliary (hand held) starter or different brands of pull starters can be used from any of the approved engines. If the OEM starter is not used, a guard must be in place on the flywheel housing to prevent fingers or debris from entering the flywheel area.


10.3.C.22 Clone Claimer Rule:  Any clone racer may claim any other racer's engine IN THE SAME DIVISION.  A driver may only claim ONE engine per night.  A racer may NOT claim the same driver's engine more than once per season.  The claimer fee is $175.  The claimed engine WILL be torn down and inspected for legality.  $150 will go to the owner of the claimed engine.  $25 will go to the track for the time in doing so.  Whether the engine is legal or not, the CLAIMER OWNS IT AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO HIM IN A DISASSEMBLED STATE THE $150 WILL GO TO THE CLAIMEE, legal or not!  If the engine is illegal, the claimee will be disqualified and will lose all points and awards for that date's events.  That driver will also be fined 50 points in the standings.  Refusal to comply with a claim will result in loss of all points accumulated to that date and permanent suspension from any clone division.  Claim only includes the long block.  Items NOT included are header, air filter adapter, chain gaurd, clutch, top plate, throttle linkage, fuel pump, motor mount, starter nut if equipped for electric starter.


10.3.C.23 Any questionable parts may be compared to a known stock part. When performing a comparison check, a tolerance of +/- .005” will be used.


10.3.C.24 Any part found to be illegal may be confiscated indefinitely by the track at the tracks discretion. Any part deemed questionable may be confiscated by the track in exchange for a NEW part to be provided by the track.

CLARIFICATIONS


These decisions are made by the U6SA clarification committee, Glen Lewis (head), Kenny Miller, Randy Brookens, and Rick Stief. You can email claification requests to Glen Lewis Lewis.glenn@verizon.net

1. Valve spring spacers are allowed to be used. Generally these are added to increase valve seat pressure.

2. Valve guides cannot be replaced with after market valve guides. Although the stock ones can be modified, you must start with a stock guide.

3. Valve guides may have a 7 angle grind or any grind on them, the stock dimension rule on valve seats applies to the thickness of the seat, not the grind.

4. Mechanical injection is legal on an engine that came with electronic fuel injection. All other rules still apply to that system, ie: "Stock appearing ignition must be used" , and "The stock fuel injection throttle bodies must remain".
