Application: Third bearing retention on EN uprights
Design: Tabbed circlip with drilled tabs for pliers
Material: Steel
Color: Black

This snap ring locks the third bearing firmly into the EN upright so it stays put during race conditions. If you are just starting out in karting it is a small C-shaped clip that snaps into a groove to keep the bearing from moving and throwing off your engine alignment. Racers who have been at it for years appreciate how the design handles the constant vibration and thrust in 2-cycle go-kart motors without failure.

Maintenance Tips: Check your snap ring for wear or distortion every time you service the engine mount. This quick habit helps avoid unexpected bearing shifts that can ruin a race day for your sprint kart or dirt kart.

The drilled tabs let you quickly install or remove it with a pair of standard snap ring pliers. Most karters keep a couple extras in their box because a missing or bent one can let the bearing shift and wreck your alignment in a hurry. Built from steel it resists the harsh conditions found at the track.

Maintenance Tips: When installing on your EN upright make sure the snap ring is fully seated in the groove before running the engine. Proper placement is key to reliable performance in your 2-cycle kart racing setup.

Whether you need it for a quick repair or as a backup part this component is a must-have for keeping your go-kart engine mount solid.
