The Yamaha KT100 is a 100 cc single cylinder, air cooled, two-stroke engine that Yamaha built for kart racing and that was also adapted for ultralight aircraft. It uses piston ported intake induction with a Walbro WB-3A carburetor and can be tuned with different exhaust systems and carburetors for a wide range of kart classes, from the smaller KT100J to the KT100SE. In the late 1970s and early 1980s it was fitted to ultralight aircraft, which were lighter than today's, so that its 15 horsepower (11 kW) at 10,000 rpm was enough, usually with a recoil starter and a belt reduction drive.
