Leopard 125 help

[thomas40]

Looking at purchasing a leopard 125 and am looking for some help on running and maintaining one of these motors as I am new to the sport and only have basic engine knowledge.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

There is not much to the leopard 125 TBH all the info on the engine including all the manuals for maintenance and running can be found here www.remoracing.com.au/products/engines/iameparillaleopardrl


or if you really want to know have a chat to one of the local Kart Shops, I know both Lightning and Omega will be glad to answer all you questions. The engine is simple.. set the jets and for a warm engine and forget about it. one some occasions they may need a minor tweak ( very rare if you warm up you engine pre race )

if you are around any of the meetings I know most of the 125 drivers will be happy to help you out

Good advice to go to Remo's site and download the owners manual. I have a full pictorial rebuild guide for this motor which gives a good idea of what makes it tick. Let me know if you'd like a copy.

One other thing i'll add is make sure all the electrical connectors are waterproofed (add dielectric grease before connecting them, then heatshrink. I set my motor up so that i never had to disconnect the electrics to remove the motor from the chassis. I have seen a lot of problems caused by terminal corrosion, or wires breaking at the terminals.

If you don't want to make the connections semi-permanent, at least make sure they are strapped so they can't vibrate around.

I loved my leopard motor. I hope you ended up buying one and have a heap of fun with it! Let us know if you need any more info.
