Could be lots of things mate, one of the joys of karting Im afraid,
Id rebuild your carb with new bits, thats a start,
what mix where you running and what does the seizure look like? is there any signs of a foreign object or damage on the head or piston? (indentations) |

Your carb pop off pressure could have changed, I always use a 3 jet on long tracks just to let in a touch more fuel to counter what just happened to you. 
How long had you been running the bottom end and top end since it was last rebuilt?
Those ICA and FA are awesome but tempremental things, I have one, would not change it though |
