I'm assuming this is a chronic problem so I will alert you to the extremes. I would recommend changing one thing at a time.

o If you're carrying balast, try to bring it forward. You might also want to adjust the seat if you can.
o When driving the kart - use your body to lean towards the outside of the corner and a tad forward... again this will shift weight to the outside [helping raise the inside rear] and forward [improving front end adhesion].
o Set the fron track to about 6mm of toe out.
o Get the front out as wide as you can.
o Bring the rears in as much as you can.
o Increase the ride height all round.
o If you're running negative camber at the front, then straighten the front wheels up until there's no camber.
o If you can, adjust the caster so that it jacks the rear up more.
