How does the Rotax power valve work?
How does the Rotax power valve work?
The 125cc Rotax MAX EVO engine uses an Electronic Timed Exhaust Valve System. With opening and closing triggered by the engine’s ECU, crankcase pressure is used to open the valve (for top end performance) and the spring external to the exhaust valve closes it (for bottom-end performance).
What does a power valve do?
The purpose of the power valve is to improve part-throttle drivability, air-fuel ratio, and fuel mileage. As the throttle opens and the load increases, the manifold vacuum will drop. At a calibrated point, a spring inside the power valve will overcome the low manifold vacuum and open the valve.
Is a 125cc go-kart fast?
125cc karts typically reach between 70mph and 80mph. Weather conditions, track layout and tire usage will all contribute to the speed of a go-kart on a track. Different levels of engine horsepower are another factor in the top speeds of these karts.
What happens when a power valve is blown?
