Great video! thanks!!!
I'm glad you could make some use out of it!
When is part 2 of the ct200u coming out, can’t wait for the great content
3 more days!
You don’t have to bend the master link clip to get it out. Just get a flat head screwdriver on the side without an open hole and tap it with a hammer
That's a good tip!
do u still have the govnernor installed?
Yes, governor still in there. Next video will be modifications!
@@BlakesBuilds what's the top speed man? i have a 212 thinking about a torque converter to increase speed
@@adamrichardson135 torque converter should put you around 45mph if you take the throttle limiter screw out. Might be >45 with the mods I'm putting on it
@adamrichardson135 the only thing is if you don't raise the mounting plate, might have to cut part of your engine metal plating to fit the converter
@@BlakesBuilds alright mane , and what's the top speed with the torque converter?? is it better than stock?
Subscribed!❤❤❤
Much appreciated! Hope you found this video helpful
On a motorcycle 110cc
Align your pulleys. You need one if not two more washers.
The kit comes with a washer and a spacer. The pulleys are supposed to be partially off from each other so that when the driver pulley expands, the belt becomes straight with the driven pulley at higher speeds.
@@BlakesBuilds You can do it however you want but the belt should be aligned with the fixed (doesn't move) side of the drive and driven pullies. The belt position against those pully sides does not change at any speed. The belt is just moved higher or lower in the pully by the movable side.
What are you planning to put a torque converter on?
Great video!
I hope you got what you needed!
Thanking for helping a 12 year old have a good birthday , my 12 year old got a go kart last year for her birthday and her older sister rolled it last year they ended up with road rash but the go kart had a bent rim and wouldn’t start for nothing we had someone come and check it out they said couldn’t fix it but i you tube it and found this video and in a hour it was on
I'm very happy you were able to use my video to get the go kart running again! Your 12 year old and her sister are pretty wild to be rolling go karts 😂
Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks!
Ain’t no way your top speed is 27 after the 212 swap I have a 212 base and I go about 45-50
Throttle limiter screw was in it and the stock jackshaft setup gave me that speed. The ct200u I'm doing now goes over 50mph, but has a torque converter and will have modifications
Is your gearing changed at all?
@jeron9272 not on this minibike, stock gearing
What clutch did you get, i have the exact same cart and engine.
I believe it's a #35 chain (look on the chain to see what number is on it). If it's 35, get a 12 tooth 3/4" centrifugal clutch off Amazon. If it's a 40 or 420 chain, get a 10 tooth.
nice job man. you're pretty dialed in for a young guy. keep it up, the world's yours!
I've never been told I'm dialed in, I appreciate that!
@@BlakesBuilds i've built so many things in my life and done so many unique things in different parts of the world...but i can't fix a coleman go kart for the life of me hahaha. thanks for the help and I hope to get mine running! putting in a new carb in a few days. wish i had your skills! all the best to you sir.
@TheRancherAndTheWife same to you, let me know when you get her running!
What ways have you tried to do this?
Irritating music!!!!
GREAT MUSIC! Young man knows what real work music sounds like, great job, kid!
what is that thumbnail, bro doing a burnout with no motor💀
Made you click?😭
True, might be a good strategy😂@BlakesBuilds
fire but sadly they´re illegal, cant wait for pt2, subscribed ^^
Little of everything threw the year's
If you can't buy it, you can probably make it!
@@BlakesBuilds pretty much
What upgrades have you done to your minibike?
I added a stage 1 kit to mine!
@@cosmosgaming0921 you're going to love part two then!
212 ghost with torque converter
The VIDEO is under five minutes. The job, however...
about 7 shy 😂 you mean 8 😅
His jokes throughout the video is what makes it👌
Not the Biden meme 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really stumbled there😭
Looks pretty good but I'd be worried about that exhaust pipe catching on something and fucking up the mounting threads. Weld a support on it somewhere
That is definitely a good thing to be concerned about!
I just got a very similar one wheel peel with a seized tecumseh on it gonna put a predator on it when the clutch shows up in the mail
Sounds sweet! I'd love to see the project, send some pics to @blakes_builds on Instagram!
russian propaganda
Which part was the best (or worst)?😂
Hell yea I would love that!
What about the minibike I posted? It's even louder😳
@@BlakesBuildsSeen minibikes and I think they're cool!
Thats kool, but did you die?
I wish I could but I'm 6'6
Suffering from success😭
@@BlakesBuilds i wish i felt that way
DAMN RIGHT I WOULD!
This thing rips
Are those tires good for the street?
That's all I used them for!
@BlakesBuilds Awesome video! Hey,today my mower was running pretty good while i mowed the yard,but it just shutted off,i opened the carbonator and cleaned it off and everything looks good and fine,it sparked and started up,but then it shutted off again.What do you think i need? Any advice is great advice.Thank you!
If you cleaned the carburetor and it starts up but dies on its own, it's safe to say either the carb is still dirty or the gas tank has dirt in it, and it made the carb dirty again. Or you could have bad gas, check the gas you have in it for water or dirt. The likely thing is the carburetor is still dirty. Make sure you put everything together correctly and sprayed through all the holes with carb or brake cleaner, and reassemble. If it's still doing this, try replacing the carb, sometimes dirt just doesn't want to come out.
Carb needs replacing or tare down n re build
Well done
You deserve more
Idk really
What other cheap mods have you done?
I like music but commentary instead of music would have been nice.

I see you have a Coleman cc100x in the background with an empty frame! Thats the exact reason I’m watching your video. It idles… decently on choke, but when you take it off choke it shuts its ass right off. And I have a predator 212 in it of course. Oh, and also, when I get on throttle it sputters so much and has no power unless I floor it.
Check your throttle cable to make sure the inside wire is correct and that the outside part that doesn't move is secured right at the end. I can send a picture for reference. Also, sounds like carb is dirty. If you already cleaned it and same issue either you skipped part of the video and didn't remove emulsion tube etc or maybe there's dirty just really stuck in there. Try cleaning it and make sure gas is clean (no water or dirt in it). If you're sure you did those things, make sure you put everything together correctly. Still doesn't work? Buy a new carburetor for it, sometimes there's just dirt you can't get out of it- $15 Amazon.
A couple bolts and the right clutch and the dude that sold you these coulda gotta them working and sold em for more 😅
Exactly! The most you will usually have to do on these is tires, new engine, and throttle cables. Getting a go kart for $100 will almost always make you double your money
Yea ur vid is super helpful. It help me figure out that the jet was stopped up and I didn’t have to dig any deeper 👍🏻
I'm glad it helped!
Not to be rude but I can't watch. Music is annoying and distracting. Sorry
Hey I’m planning on turning a shopping kart into a go kart and I don’t really know where to start, do you have any tips? And great video btw!
