Don't you guys have over like 30 running machines at this point? You should have 30 friends over and get them all running at once around the track for a glory parade to showcase all of the builds you have done in an epic celebration ride!
really liked the flow and style of this video and build. I liked the way you went and showed the whole process. you guys really are dialed in and work well together and it shows through the show. Watch all your videos, love the content. Thank you boys. Grats on the new build Charles!
You guys are an inspiration. I have been seeking out the oldest Briggs & stratton's and Motors that I can find for years. I can rebuild cars but I find it far more satisfying to build small stuff. I appreciate your guys's videos and wish that I could do what you. unfortunately I've been in a relationship for 2 years wouldn't allow me to go out and work in my shop that I built just for that reason. But on the positive side that relationship just ended and now I have plenty of free time to get back out in the shop and it feels good. I can say it feels very rewarding to find an old motor they hasn't run in years and get that baby running again. Much respect. I don't know how old my oldest motor is but it's a two and a half horsepower Briggs & Stratton 4 stroke with a horse hair that you have to oil air filter and a 2:1 gear reduction supposedly it was for a water pump at one time and it's the oldest piece I have. As a side hobby I rebuild riding lawn mowers and build racing lawn mowers to ride on the beach which bypass the street legal laws. My fastest lawn mower does over 30 and rides huge wheelies.
@@davolbc nah... maybe when Ike was 25... not anymore and especially not after what he did to his shoulder... Charles can beat them both and he knows it but is too nice to just straight up embarrass them.... he is still just the employee and is being smart about it
I gotta be honest, there is something about watching small engine mini bike builds and doing it to that makes it more fun and enjoyable than building car engines. It’s like we don’t have the stress that comes along with doing big money builds you know? This is where you find true enjoyment with the right people as you take turns trying it out and not having to worry too much about letting each other ride what you just built.
@@goodguy...badrep. do it but careful, it can become an addiction lol I think i have about 4-5 finished bikes about 20 more rollers, a warehouse rack full of engines, parts, etc etc etc I got out of the old cars because my back went south on me and I couldn't work on them the way I used to. I sure don't trust any of my toys to someone else, so the cars went bye bye. On the minibikes though I can still do 100% of it all. I find the smiles per gallon are much better on them for me too.
The boys skim over the most crucial point is to pre torque the rod bolts on the the crankshaft to check clearances out of the motor then assemble in the block
Trick for removing studs: take an extra nut that fits the stud and make a “clamp nut tool”. Take the spare nut and cut through a flat all the way through to the threads. Now spin the nut onto the stud and squeeze it using vice grips etc. the nut will grip the stud on all sides equally and not damage them. Also works for gripping a threaded stock/bolt etc in a lathe to cut etc.
I'm so glad you bought Charles into the crew he's a legend. Book of knowledge general all around nice guy but brings a laugh to your videos as well good choice guys! Goofy but we love ya Charles!
I wish my old lil Indian mini bike wasn't destroyed when our house burnt down 20yrs ago bc I would've loved to do this to it. 😖 Looks super fun, congrats Charles 👍👍
Fracture-split conn rods are cheaper to produce too, they're stronger, and have a longer service life than separately machined caps. I think that is so cool! I love engines!!! They are the best invention in human history by far, and yet barely even considered by anyone, who literally depend on them every day to work flawlessly.
I had a snap ring puncture sheet rock when I was rebuilding the top end of my old yz85 definitely wear safety glasses when removing any sort of compressed snap rings
spotted a few hay bales at the corners and the distance markers. you might want to stack the bales a bit higher because all they'll do at the moment is stop the bike and send the rider into the trees head first :D should help with the carts and buggies though 👍 keep it up fellas
Can’t seem to locate the video on the making of these track changes that you referred to. Is that still coming or just not been published on the channel yet?
I think you guys should find a nice day where the track is dry and run every vehicle on the gp list again so all the times are accurate. Also we'd like to see that video no matter how long it is.
Great content & reminds me of my kart racing days . Season opener we showed up with a Harbor Freight engine with many upgrades on a Bad Maxx . Lots of people with Briggs engines were laughing at us in the line up for practice ...... they all had frowns after the night of racing . Thanks for the memories
I wheelie my Coleman 2021 mini bike all the time. I even put pegs on it like a bicycle so I can balance it better than putting knees on the seat but all I really need is a lower gear sprocket so the centrifugal clutch will kick in faster and do the wheelies correctly
I helped bring the cracked rod to the 7.3L Powerstroke diesel. It's great from a manufacturing standpoint and the cap only fits one way, fits perfectly and is a more stable connection to the main rod body. I had concerns about replacing the old 4140 forged rods with a powdered metal rod. The forging was stronger and able to bend in hydro lock situations where the powdered rod would break. But we never had a bunch of engine failures due to the change to fractured powdered rods.
Dudes, I hooted a hollered when I saw that y’all added that laser timer. I’m so glad y’all heeded my suggestion to do so. Now y’all can get some awesome accurate times on your laps. 👍👍
Another great video guys. 2am and enjoying with my coffee. Ike really enjoyed talking to you Tuesday morning. Hope we get to do it again. This Old Man loves you guys. 🛵🧔💝💝💝
That's the first time since trade school that I've looked into a small engine enlightened I am now a bit more clued into the rocker set up thank you all the best to yous and your loved ones
That little piggy is a "hang onto Your helmet" ride! I'd almost want a dish soap dispenser on that rear tire... haha. Have any of You guys in the garage seen any 2x2 wheelers before? I remember an old farmer here in Indiana had a 2x2 called a Rokon that he bought back in the mid 1970's. He had an entire assortment of the product upgrades. One being a short snow plow blade, a water pump set up & some other farm implement equipment. He'd always say. "Go get the mototractor, it'll do all the work for us" This was a great video here.
glad to see Charles wheel something, he is good and has a good understanding of how to apply the power, John on the other hand........lol I also was wondering what Isaac was smokin, he couldn't remember squat....lol but it did add tho the humor. good job Charles!
About 5 years ago, I was working at an auto repair shop. Just me, and the owner. His wife also did paperwork and stuff. One lunch, I was reading a Hot Rod mag, and they were discussing rod big end types. they mentioned the cracked ones. 2 hours later, we were dropping the oil pan, on a car with "rod noise." Boss said, let's see if it is just bearing noise. Removed the rod cap, and it was a cracked rod, which neither of us had ever seen. (Except in that Hot Rod Magazine.) The rod bearing and the rod journal "looked" OK. Put the oil pan back on, oiled it, and it ran, just fine, for about 3 minutes. The car was a cheap, used up, econobox. Wasn't worth pulling the crank, and getting it turned and more bearings. It was worth the hour we put in. Funny thing, seeing the article in HRM, and then seeing our first cracked rod. steve
Not to take away from how cool that engine is, or even cooler Johns hat is, or the friggin lasers, but I love the longer episodes. BTW, I think wood chips might help with the mud on the track.
I use them for my personal track out here in Cali. Also would definitely have changed the crossover on the creek to a banked dirt crossover with pipe outlets for the creek. If y’all have a tractor or something changing camber through the field would be smart as well.
@@aaron_brown7324 I have a half dirt and half sand track and it's very easy to lose control on mini bikes i personally rather mud over it but maybe there's another option that works better
@@thefishingchannel3192 my buddy’s track gets really muddy on the turns especially.... we was thinking about adding some sand but not enough to be just sand... we want a sand mix to help keep it from getting so muddy... I could be wrong tho I have been before 😂
8:45 ish.. Just want to throw a quick warning out to everyone who uses a hammer to remove flywheel. DO NOT hit the flywheel, itself. It can crack it, and it becomes a ticking time bomb, just waiting for that "special" day. If you must use a hammer, do EXACTLY like in the vid and take care to not make any contact with the flywheel. (and if you can, try a block of wood/hammer or SOFT hammer , such as brass, lead, etc... That usually works, too... just need "mass"). Keep up the great work fellas! Can't believe how this channel grew! Well, I can, actually.... it's great stuff!! Thanks! :D
Lol finally got a laser setup.. Been saying for years you can get IR lap timers for dirt cheap, but I'm glad to see you guys are going for better precision 😉😎
All men fall short and come short of the Glory. Picking yourself up to keep going is a fine example of what we all need to do. Unless you all need to take someone to the hospital. Keep having fun guys.
@Dan The Mower Medic Thanks for this comment! The guys at GoPowerSports that sell this stuff are trying to scare me out of doing this exact build for fear that the magnets will fling out of the stock flywheel!
Charles my man, we need to paint that bright blue engine cover camo..its triggering my OCD hard.. 🤣 Camo to blend in but blue to be seem just seems all 😆
i had a stock 168f with a mikini on it , it was a beast and ran way longer than i expected, until the rear seal blew out and it siezed from lack of oil,
i just tried sand for the first time ever today on my little trail 125 and i made sure to hit it all. and it did great at least to me but i never ran sand on a bike before. and that mini bike is bad ass good all around.
When checking/adjusting your valve lash, keep a bottle cap of oil close to dip the end of the feeler gauge in before you check lash.....the resistance you get using the gauge dry vs. With a coat of oil on it can and sometimes will put your adjustment out.....
Like the intro with professor Issac! The game out of removing the governor was funny. My friends and I used to compete on everything like that! The bike sounds and performs great!
thank you ike! i now know how one of those governers work and ive wanted to know that for years lol lil peace of mind goes a long way when you tinker a lot of your friends bikes n what not. love yall chemistry. dont change!!
you guys should get one of those front disk brake kits from gps for his coleman. while gps only has the mb 200 kit, it apparently works also on the coleman from what the reviews on the site have said. i'm planning on snagging one for my coleman before i do any engine swaps.
Well hello to you all .. Much to my amazement.. this episode of car's and cameras..(It'll be fine) was one one of the best stage 2 installations I've actually watched in roughly a 1 year and a half.. Most excellent keep up the fantastic footage.. Paul ✌️
I have the same bike. I bought some after market tires and it made it so much better gave it so much more control those tires that come with it they kind of suck.
Ike @14 minutes you talked about cracked rods. It's a 90s technology for the powered steel rods. It's called Cracked Caps. The big end of the rod is broken. That break means the rod can only go back together the way it was broken. Down to micro scope level the various cracks make the rod stronger. When the rod is assembled you can't see the seam like you can on CNC stuff
Electric start: Charlie is getting soft! 😆 By the way, 22 lb valve springs should give you that 7000 rpm, or more. And try the offset key on the flywheel to get more advance, and more torque.
@@jeffrykopis5468 Yes. I have similar gearing (9/60 tooth) on my Coleman and top out at 5K RPM around 47 MPH with a not so potent 196. It's a trail bike and has seen that speed only once. He should get at least that if not 50+ if he put it on the road. They were smart with that cam choice. A bigger cam would need higher RPM which would require a Juggernaut to get there. He can still do a Jugg but would have to change gearing if he doesn't want to top out in the 30's at high RPM. His current setup looks to work very well.
I see that buc-ee's sticker on there. As a Kansas boy when I visited my fiances family that was my one demand that I had to see it. I was not let down. Oh and that drag cart looks cool hanging up there. It would be cool to have some lights under it. Like some LED strips. Call it production effects or something Hollywood.
The rods y’all were talking about are called cracked cap and they are made from powdered metal that is heated and pressed together and it is pretty much impossible to install the rod cap wrong unless you either did it on purpose or are not paying attention
Charles "Shaggy" did a butt bump and was really shocked, Cars and Camera has a winner with Charles because he reminds me of my 5 boys before they joined the military,, they could build anything with just pliers and a vice grip
Better in the long run to remove head early on. You can check piston to deck, decide gasket thickness, perhaps use a flat top piston (cheap). Some Merc outboards used to do the fractured rod thing.
You guys make this look soooooo easy! lol! I'm loving the details that you're putting into the video about the engine work, it gives me an idea about how to do one of these myself. Great work as always! ( p.s. who's the new camera monkey? they're doing a great job!)
Isaac is my favorite. may life shower him with love and money. sadly money is still part of the equation as it is we all need both. may all that befriend him be blessed.
@@WyFoster I can see charles hanging of the side while Ike driving oh my word can you vision that . I could not wach I would laugh as hard as the three man kart or three man mini bike
Definitely be careful with your valve train especially revving it with the stock components! Right now you can actually hear the lack of spring pressure has become the new Governor system which isn't particularly a very good thing! Sounds they are beginning to float the valves around 6300 - 6500 RPMs. I would be mostly concerned with the valve spring retainer coming off during a valve float and you dropping a valve into the piston guys. If anything, get a slightly stronger spring and better spring retainers to prevent you having a catastrophic engine failure!!! It's so worth the time and little money they cost now as assurance against this from happening. Otherwise great video as usual guys, and very informative 👍 👏 👌 😀!
If he's running the stock driver on the torque converter he never seen 6K RPM here. No way at only 44 MPH top speed. The stock springs can handle the RPM he was running.
You were thinking of "cracked cap" rods, like stock LS ones. They perform most of the machining then freeze the rod with liquid nitrogen to get it to break.
Don't you guys have over like 30 running machines at this point? You should have 30 friends over and get them all running at once around the track for a glory parade to showcase all of the builds you have done in an epic celebration ride!
Doooooooo ittt
Just dooooooo ittttt
or do a giveaway and get subscribers to do it
@@w.nurmi58 nahh, im sure C+C doesn't exactly wanna give away expensive machines for free lol
That would piss off the neighbors. Maybe a fleet playday at the OHV park?
I've never had or worked on a go-kart or mini bike or anything and I've watched every video for like 2 years lol
Don’t forget each sticker adds 1-2 hp. Also if Charles blows on the air filter while riding he Could add 3 hp.
Especially a let's go Brandon sticker.
But be careful with NOS stickers. Their power increase is really hard to handle.
Charles is better than a turbo for small engines
My friend secretly added too many stickers on my racing mower and the internals and clutch are suffering from the extreme power 😢
Charles measurements are the best and most accurate
Here's a tech tip: Keep a few golf tees in your tool box. They are a great way to quickly plug a fuel line during disassembly.
Yep. I cut mine down to about 3/4" long so it hits the taper a little.
Use a pair of mini needle nose vice grips
@@cheeznipsmagee2357 Those will certainly work well but you can buy a whole bag of golf tees for the price of one pair of vice grips.
Hemostats also work well.

You guys are an inspiration. I have been seeking out the oldest Briggs & stratton's and Motors that I can find for years. I can rebuild cars but I find it far more satisfying to build small stuff.

But on the positive side that relationship just ended and now I have plenty of free time to get back out in the shop and it feels good. I can say it feels very rewarding to find an old motor they hasn't run in years and get that baby running again. Much respect. I don't know how old my oldest motor is but it's a two and a half horsepower Briggs & Stratton 4 stroke with a horse hair that you have to oil air filter and a 2:1 gear reduction supposedly it was for a water pump at one time and it's the oldest piece I have. As a side hobby I rebuild riding lawn mowers and build racing lawn mowers to ride on the beach which bypass the street legal laws. My fastest lawn mower does over 30 and rides huge wheelies.
For years.
I like the way you did the Rod swap not removing Piston from the top
but from the bottom Bore keeping the oil rings intact nice job Issac.😁😁
Isaac for the win!
Great show and also the short clip at the end with Charles accidentally moving the light away. Love when people have fun
Good to see Charles getting his name on the board. I have a feeling he's been sand bagging so as not to show up the 2 OG's.

If it pierced some dry wall then make sure to have protection around your neck as well, eyes aren't the only sensitive place.
I didn't see him put the snap ring back on the piston, hopefully he didn't forget to !

When checking/adjusting your valve lash, keep a bottle cap of oil close to dip the end of the feeler gauge in before you check lash.....the resistance you get using the gauge dry vs. With a coat of oil on it can and sometimes will put your adjustment out.....
Charles with his dank nooners!!!!!
I know I can't prove it but I totally guessed 1:05. Awesome video. Thanks y'all!
The inner workings and your explanations are interesting and helpful
I suggest switching the starter button to the other side of the handle bars to make it less awkward to start
These guys aren't very mechanically inclined if you haven't noticed
Like the intro with professor Issac! The game out of removing the governor was funny. My friends and I used to compete on everything like that! The bike sounds and performs great!
thank you ike! i now know how one of those governers work and ive wanted to know that for years lol lil peace of mind goes a long way when you tinker a lot of your friends bikes n what not. love yall chemistry. dont change!!
you guys should get one of those front disk brake kits from gps for his coleman. while gps only has the mb 200 kit, it apparently works also on the coleman from what the reviews on the site have said. i'm planning on snagging one for my coleman before i do any engine swaps.
Finally get to watch it on time guys usually I can't get enough service to watch till later
The new track addition is awesome!
Well hello to you all .. Much to my amazement.. this episode of car's and cameras..(It'll be fine) was one one of the best stage 2 installations I've actually watched in roughly a 1 year and a half..
Most excellent keep up the fantastic footage..
Paul ✌️
Get the timing marks lined up you can pull the gear out you can also put paper towel shop towel stuff them in there it will hold them in place
Great informational video for new builders! 👌 👏🏻 👍🏻
I have the same bike. I bought some after market tires and it made it so much better gave it so much more control those tires that come with it they kind of suck.
Ike @14 minutes you talked about cracked rods. It's a 90s technology for the powered steel rods. It's called Cracked Caps. The big end of the rod is broken. That break means the rod can only go back together the way it was broken. Down to micro scope level the various cracks make the rod stronger. When the rod is assembled you can't see the seam like you can on CNC stuff
Electric start: Charlie is getting soft! 😆 By the way, 22 lb valve springs should give you that 7000 rpm, or more. And try the offset key on the flywheel to get more advance, and more torque.
He'd need a Jugg for 7K.
@@Deucealive75 Juggernaut? Maybe so.
@@jeffrykopis5468 Yes. I have similar gearing (9/60 tooth) on my Coleman and top out at 5K RPM around 47 MPH with a not so potent 196. It's a trail bike and has seen that speed only once. He should get at least that if not 50+ if he put it on the road.
They were smart with that cam choice. A bigger cam would need higher RPM which would require a Juggernaut to get there. He can still do a Jugg but would have to change gearing if he doesn't want to top out in the 30's at high RPM. His current setup looks to work very well.
Charles did not wanna give up that governor to Ike when they were trying to remove it 😂😂 I love the enthusiasm
I see that buc-ee's sticker on there. As a Kansas boy when I visited my fiances family that was my one demand that I had to see it. I was not let down.
Oh and that drag cart looks cool hanging up there. It would be cool to have some lights under it. Like some LED strips. Call it production effects or something Hollywood.
The rods y’all were talking about are called cracked cap and they are made from powdered metal that is heated and pressed together and it is pretty much impossible to install the rod cap wrong unless you either did it on purpose or are not paying attention
It looks like they took my suggestion and got rid of the lap time by hand. This is great. More accurate by far
Charles "Shaggy" did a butt bump and was really shocked, Cars and Camera has a winner with Charles because he reminds me of my 5 boys before they joined the military,, they could build anything with just pliers and a vice grip
Wow they finally have charge system for 212 i seen them befor on those dtv shredder things but were hard to find. redbeard had video on it to
Wow 😳😲 that motor sure has got some good power
So happy for the laser addition finally. Good job guys
a governor works just like the mechanical advance in a distributor rpms go up weight goers out and moves the armature to stop you from increasing rpm
My favorite part about billet rods, is that they’re more shiny😂😎👍🏼
Better in the long run to remove head early on. You can check piston to deck, decide gasket thickness, perhaps use a flat top piston (cheap). Some Merc outboards used to do the fractured rod thing.
It's OK to wash them first. It makes working on them much more pleasurable and way less of a chance to get crud in the motor.
i love these videos so much
You all should use the plasma cutter to cut out the rank numbers on your track times list. That would be pretty cool.
You guys make this look soooooo easy! lol!
I'm loving the details that you're putting into the video about the engine work, it gives me an idea about how to do one of these myself. Great work as always!
( p.s. who's the new camera monkey? they're doing a great job!)
Sounding like it runs a lot better and it sure is quicker.
That Coleman minibike looks like a beast, I love it, the only thing I might try is a 440 cc snowmobile engine. That would be even more scary :-)
Isaac is my favorite. may life shower him with love and money. sadly money is still part of the equation as it is we all need both. may all that befriend him be blessed.
I have a radical idea would love to see you build a mini bike version of Motocross side car racer
Be hilarious to see them try and fit that around the Grand Prix
@@WyFoster I can see charles hanging of the side while Ike driving oh my word can you vision that . I could not wach I would laugh as hard as the three man kart or three man mini bike
you guys should redo the times for the older projects that are still running
Definitely be careful with your valve train especially revving it with the stock components! Right now you can actually hear the lack of spring pressure has become the new Governor system which isn't particularly a very good thing! Sounds they are beginning to float the valves around 6300 - 6500 RPMs. I would be mostly concerned with the valve spring retainer coming off during a valve float and you dropping a valve into the piston guys. If anything, get a slightly stronger spring and better spring retainers to prevent you having a catastrophic engine failure!!! It's so worth the time and little money they cost now as assurance against this from happening. Otherwise great video as usual guys, and very informative 👍 👏 👌 😀!
If he's running the stock driver on the torque converter he never seen 6K RPM here. No way at only 44 MPH top speed. The stock springs can handle the RPM he was running.
So cool. Let’s upgrade more
You were thinking of "cracked cap" rods, like stock LS ones. They perform most of the machining then freeze the rod with liquid nitrogen to get it to break.
