| Q:
Is the START-R-UP
easier to use than the engine recoil starter? |
A:
The START-R-UP is user
friendly. The required procedure is obvious and simple, not
awkward. A driver, securely seated in the Kart can use both hands
to pull downward on the pull cord handle. |
| Q:
Why do you claim the START-R-UP
is safer than pull starting the engine? |
A:
It prevents the occurrence of a "Run-Away" Kart. |
| Q:
What does a "Run-Away" Kart mean? |
A: A
driver standing behind the Kart pull starts the engine. The engine starts, the Kart
immediately takes off on its own leaving the driver behind. |
| Q:
Wow! That's no laughing matter! Someone could get hurt!
How can you tell if this is going to happen? |
A:
You can't. Kart may work properly one minute and not the next. |
| Q:
How do you stop a RUN-AWAY Kart? |
A:
Good Question! |
| Q:
What causes a Kart to "Run-Away"? |
A:
The clutch or torque converter or gas pedal does not stop in a neutral or idle position,
so when the Kart is re-started it is in a drive mode. |
| Q:
Kids and others like to "tinker" with the engine in hopes their Kart will run
better or faster. In doing so can they cause a "Run-Away" Kart? |
A:
Yes, in seconds simply by "tinkering" with an obvious adjustment a Go-Kart when
started without a seated driver could be a driverless "Run-Away" which could
quickly accelerate to speeds in excess of 20 M.P.H.! |
| Q:
Without the START-R-UP
what is the safest way to start the engine? |
A:
The driver should be seated in the Kart while another person pull starts the engine. |
| Q:
What if the driver is alone without the START-R-UP? |
A:
Push the Kart to the nearest solid object. Face the front of the Kart body, not the front
tires, against the solid object. Pull start the engine, being aware of the kill switch
location on the Kart if needed to quickly stop the engine. |
| Q:
Why can't you put the front tires against a solid object? |
A:
Without any resistance, the Kart will attempt to "climb" the solid object! |
| Q:
Do I have to use the START-R-UP
to start the engine? |
A:
No, The START-R-UP
does not in any way impede the use of the engine recoil
starter. |
| Q:
Is the START-R-UP
hard to install? |
A:
It's easy! No Kart or engine modifications necessary. Attaches to
overhead brush guard using two u-bolt clamps. |
| Q:
Are Go-Kart engines hard to start? |
A:
You might compare the starting effort required to that of a newer walk behind lawnmower or
edger. |
| Q:
Could you use the START-R-UP
with an electric start engine? |
A:
Yes, excellent back-up system in the event of an electric failure. In fact, on a warm
engine you can pull start the engine as fast as you can use the key! |
| Q:
Are there any other reasons why the START-R-UP
may be safer than pull starting
an engine? |
A:
Yes, using the START-R-UP
rather than the engine pull start keeps a persons
fingers away from hot exhaust or moving parts. |
| Q: Is
it better for the engine to use the START-R-UP? |
A:
Yes, the pull rope travel is limited, prohibiting possible damage to the recoil starter
mechanism caused by pulling the rope out too far. |
| Q:
Will the START-R-UP
fit all G0-Karts? |
A:
Brush guard necessary. Not suitable for small beginner Yard-Karts. |
| Q:
Is the START-R-UP
expensive? |
A:
Cost is $59.95 for most Karts. |
