The world-leading new TKM 4-stroke engine has been designed specifically for kart racing. This great design gives it the power, low weight and compactness of a 2-stroke, with the long life, low noise and reliability of a 4-stroke.

Designed as a performance kart engine rather than a generator or motorcycle based unit. A true racing engine which gives many hours of trouble-free running. The TKM team has developed the engine from idea to reality using some of the world’s most advanced technical know-how. F1 design and engineering has been blended with Tal-Ko’s 40+ years of expertise and computer operated machinery.

The engine is easy to install and use. And with every engine machined to extremely close tolerances and sealed at the factory, performance equality is assured.

The switch from junior to senior spec takes just minutes by way of a carb inlet restrictor.

The best of 2 and 4-stroke technology has combined to provide a stunning engine ready to lead the way in a new dimension of karting.

The TKM 4-stroke engine allows you to take a giant leap forward in karting technology. And thanks to its well thought out design, that step is ultra easy to take.

Installation
You don’t have to buy a new kart to go TKM 4-stroke racing. The TKM 4-stroke will fit onto just about any kart – 2-stroke or even Pro-Kart. It has been designed to fit as a complete package including radiator. And to make life easy there are exhaust variations and engine mounts to suit every fitting need.

Servicing
There’s really only one job to worry about – changing the oil on a regular basis. And that only takes a matter of minutes. Aside from that the engine just runs and runs with virtually no need for tuning, servicing, specialist skills or cost. Your running costs for a year may well be just a few pounds on oil and a few consumable sundries like sprockets and clutch parts. A major service is needed every 50 to 100 hours.

Performance
The engine is a full race unit designed to give its power over a really broad rev range. As soon as you press the throttle you’ll feel the pull of the strong torque band. And it just keeps on going. The engine is easy to drive and with no holes in the power delivery, so ideal for novices and experts alike.
