RLV GX200 Clone Carburetor Main Jet - .036" (0.91mm) - 196cc/AKRA Legal
Precision fuel metering is the dividing line between a podium finish and the back of the pack, which is why top-tier go karts and parts rely on exact jetting tolerances to maximize engine output. The RLV .036" (0.91mm) drilled main jet is engineered specifically for 196cc clone and Honda GX200 carburetors, delivering the exact stoichiometric ratio needed for aggressive acceleration out of tight corners. When track conditions shift and the air density drops, swapping to this specific .036 jet ensures your engine doesn't lean out at high RPMs.
Integrating with Your Go Kart Brake Kit and Drivetrain
Speed isn't just about straight-line velocity; it's about how quickly you can get back on the throttle after threshold braking. When you dive deep into a hairpin relying on a high-performance go kart brake kit, your engine needs immediate, stumble-free fuel delivery the second you roll back onto the accelerator. This .036 jet provides that instantaneous throttle response. Furthermore, maintaining the correct power band ensures your clutch and belts parts engage smoothly without bogging down the drivetrain.
Safety and Performance: Beyond Go Kart Helmets
While safety gear like homologated go kart helmets protect the driver, precision engine tuning protects your power plant from catastrophic lean-burn failures. Running the correct RLV jet size keeps combustion temperatures in check, preventing piston detonation during long, grueling mains. Whether you are maximizing a modified clone build or comparing output to the standard briggs and stratton lo206 horsepower curve, precise jetting is your ultimate competitive advantage. Note: WMS jets have been phased out; we ship the superior, precision-drilled RLV equivalent (RLVDJ36) to guarantee absolute consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why should I choose the RLV .036" jet over other brands?
A: RLV jets are precision-drilled to exact tolerances, ensuring consistent fuel flow. We have phased out WMS jets in favor of these RLV equivalents (RLVDJ36) because they offer superior flow consistency, which is critical for competitive engine tuning.
Q: How do I know if the .036" jet is the right size for my engine?
A: Jetting depends on your specific engine build, air density, and track conditions. The .036" size is a common choice for 196cc clone engines to prevent lean-out conditions at high RPMs. Always monitor your spark plug color and engine temperature to ensure your air-fuel ratio is optimized for your specific setup.
Q: Is this jet legal for racing classes?
A: Yes, this jet is designed to meet standard AKRA/NKA rulebook specifications for modified or open clone classes where specific jet sizes are permitted. Always check your local track's current rulebook before competition.
Q: Will this jet improve my throttle response?
A: Absolutely. By providing the correct stoichiometric ratio, this jet helps eliminate off-corner "bogging," allowing for immediate, stumble-free fuel delivery when you get back on the throttle after braking.
Q: How do I maintain my carburetor jets?
A: Keep your jets clean and free of debris. Because they are made of durable brass, they resist corrosion, but using high-quality racing fuel and ensuring your fuel system is filtered will prevent clogs that can lead to lean-burn engine damage.
