Tillotson Racing is delighted to offer IAME KA100 customers the latest HW-33A carburettor that has now been homologated for use by Karting Australia competitors.
The HW series carburettor produced by Tillotson has become the most prominent over rival brands in top-level CIK FIA events in recent years winning many KF and KFJ Championships. The base design of the HW-33A model designated for the KA100 engine is the extremely successful 24mm venturi KF and OK carburettor.
It was decided to upgrade the carburettor to this latest design to improve the quality of the KA100 engine and improve the parity of the overall package. The performance is improved in both un-restricted and restricted versions whilst more importantly it is very user friendly. The setting of the carburettor is not as sensitive as the original HL-398A, particularly in the restricted specification, assisting with engine consistency.
The HW-33A carburettor is a part of the new KA100 engine packages currently being assessed for introduction in Japan and the USA.
Extensive testing was carried out by the Tillotson factory engineers in Ireland to determine the optimum design and ensure a more user friendly model to the original. This testing was confirmed by IAME in Italy and also in Australia through additional track and dyno testing to ensure the product has been tested in every condition.
All owners of an IAME KA100 engine will be eligible to upgrade to the HW-33A carburettor at the discounted price of $137.00 through an exchange program with Remo Racing until September 1, 2017. (See Exchange Program Details below.)
The HW-33A carburettor will be eligible for all Karting Australia events as from 1 September 2016, EXCEPT for the remaining rounds of the Australian Kart Championship and State Championships. Distribution of the HW-33A will commence on 29 August.
It is important to note that the original HL398A carburettor also remains eligible for use in all Karting Australia competition.
