The weather is changing. For the first time in ages it was -1 degree last night in some places. If storing your kart with water still in rad DRAIN it or make sure it has anti freeze in system. Last year I was surprised how little it was below freezing that caused 3 local drivers to lose their barrels due to cracking 1 in garage,1 in the shed and 1 in his trailer. Even external belt driven pumps can freeze up overnight,the belts slip you think its circulating water but due to the water freezing the impeller comes off in inside ŁŁŁ's sieze !Rotax the same can happen. but internally.

1 litre antifreeze or a jubilee clip screwdriver and 5 mins Ł6, cracked barrel/seized engine ŁŁŁ's
