Looking for resources on where to start to learn the fundamentals of kart setup? Books/online/videos? The kart is a Junior Rotax. Would also like a path to learn the more advanced techniques of setup. Advice is appreciated!
By your very own !!’
Getting back into karts after a long absence last year, I have watched this, re watched this multiple times and had it playing on the garage tv as I work just to help absorb the info.
Lots of good videos on his Chanel!!!

check your kart brand , then via the manufacturer find and print in parer the set up configurations and recommended adjustments from there .
return everything in the baseline set up and start seat time sessions from there .

It is also hugely helpful to get a solid understanding of what goes into dynamic weight transfer on a kart and why that matters. The rear tires will push the kart in a straight line when loading equally, so getting the load across the rear right is critical.
For corner entry, caster controls most of the rear weight transfer until lateral loads build enough to take over. With the kart on the ground, play with front width and see how it changes trying to roll the kart in broad and tight circles if you can’t visualize it.
Kart Class has a setup program they offer which will walk you through the available adjustments, how they affect the kart, and when to use them.
