    You know what I want to see? An all projects head to head shootout, of everything you can get running: the cheap heap, the $50 kart, the rat rod wagon, minibikes and the CT70s. What gets the most bang for your buck (and more importantly, the most smiles for your buck)?

The possibilities are endless. That thing is cool.. It deserves to be upgraded and take its place next to the ducati and the rail! Which is killer. Also give the rsil the ducati engine. Jus saying.

I got it for my 16th birthday, I have been wanting one for years and never had to opportunity to buy one. May 29 is my bday as I was wondering if you guys could give me some tips or parts to make it run better thanks a lot guys. P.s.

  • @lwlcgarage9943
    @lwlcgarage9943 3 роки тому +1

    when you took the air box off the black cover has that little red flap in the winter you put it in the position so the heat from the engine on the fly wheel goes into the air box and in summer you put it in the other position so no heat gets in and thats why it runs so crappy in the hot weather

    • @Zzeke
      @Zzeke 5 років тому

      Project Farm didn't invent that.... And I know I probably didn't either. But, I never heard of it before I tried it back in the early 90's when I took an old 3/8 socket extension and cut the female part off, and grinded it down to 1/4" to fit in an old corded drill we had. Had to duct tape the socket onto the extension. Old two stroke lawnmower, couldn't get a replacement recoil starter. I was about John's age then, I'm about double that now..... It's a great technique to clear the cobwebs out of a motor that hasn't run in a long time.

  • @justgrayyy105
    @justgrayyy105 5 років тому +1

    Is it me or is seeing an old go kart engine cranking up for the first time (in who knows how long) oddly satisfying?

  • @davidtappe5337
    @davidtappe5337 6 років тому +8

    This was a good one, timing was perfect. You did this with hardly any tools and some sweat. Back to your roots. John I’m thinking you will probably be married and have kids before your truck is done. You’ve got my support though and I’m sending you some more bondo to help out. I’m thinking if it can’t be fixed or built with Go Power Sports parts it may not happen.

    Tecumseh engines were decent engines, I have a lawn mower with a flat head 3.5 hp Tecumseh engine that I bought new about 30 years ago. I have a large yard and use a lawn tractor for the majority of the mowing and use the small mower as a trim mower. It is decently cared for and runs perfectly, usually starting on the first pull. I wouldn't call it a power house but they are a decent engine if cared for at all.

    I love watching you guys 100%. about 3 months ago I bought a motor kit to put on a bike and started working on it and constantly had to fix or tighten something. I kept watching your videos and was going to go buy some parts like a new carb and head...sadly the bike and motor got stolen...now I have a 2000 mustang I work on and love thanks to your videos😁. I still look on the web for a small gokart project with a side mounted motor but all of them are like 1000k...where do you find them so cheap???anyway love the videos keep it up👍.

  • @orioncgaming720
    @orioncgaming720 6 років тому +1

    Hey guys! I have a request. Can you guys show us how to make a Go Kart out of things you can buy at your common “Home Depot” or “Lows” store (or your local equivalent), from research and design to purchasing materials and building it, all the way to synthetic numbers to real performance, as well as a comparison and possible “upgrades” (really just better parts, but you understand what I mean). The main thing I’m asking is for you guys to build the frame and make it work for cheap, although I understand that you would more than likely have to use most of your industrial grade equipment such as welders and stuff to make most of the parts work together. Thanks!
    ~TL;DR
    They should make a go kart from only things they can buy at their local hardware store!
