Go Kart With a Motorcycle Engine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 гру 2019
- Here is my 150cc Carter Talon go kart with an engine from a 1983 Honda Shadow 500 v-twin.
If you like, comment, and watch most of the video, it makes UA-cam more likely to recommend my videos to other people, so it really does help out!
Dude you are innovative.
I envy your success
in the "I would not have thought of that ever"
Real Genius
i have a buggy jus like that but red...with a yamaha xs400 in it, used your idea for the shifter, works great thanx budd👍🏽
Dude that sounds sick! Glad I could help! Could you possibly post a video? I would love to see it.
We got a go kart same day this vid was posted it was broken and it sat in our garage till me (12) and my buddy (13) fixed it up and it ran well and still does but it shreds through belts so we put a direct clutch on it and the chain is angled so we gotta move the engine over abt 1 inch but it's cool to think 2 kids fixed a go kart that was sitting in a garage for 3yrs
"It aint pretty but it sounds good and it works good" that's all that matters foreal
For sure
Iam 53, Been doing shit like this since age 8, My first project was a Kawasaki 80 on a 2-seater gocart frame. AT 18,Had a Kawasaki Kz 900 on a bigger 1 seater frame. I broke my ass too...
Those engines are perfect for this, they have a nice torque curve for the swap. Another engine overlooked is the Suzuki GS 450. They are bullet proof and make tons of good torque and power for buggies. I built a few yerf dog spider box karts using the GS motor. They all ran 80mph with a gear that would pull the front wheels. Very cool build, thanks for sharing.
Yup, and another one are the ninja 500 engines. I actually have one sitting in the basement waiting for something good to go on...
Man that's pretty badass. Cool piece of land too.
Thanks. We rent tho.
Great idea with the shifter and clutch. I was thinking of doing a Honda Odyssey type steering with controls on the wheel but I think your way may work better.
Yeah, but the only problem with it is that most of the time you can only have one hand on the wheel. Will you be making any videos on it?
I wasn't planning to make any videos but now I might. Look at some Grind Hard Plumbing videos ua-cam.com/channels/ivi_f1nniBzEOfKhRoN12Q.htmlfeatured?disable_polymer=1 they made 2 karts with steering controls.
@@julesservin3375 Yeah, I've been watching some of their videos. They build some pretty sweet stuff.
That’s badass🤟 I got a similar go kart that I modified recently . It’s a hammerhead 80t, I’ve extended 6in And made it wider by 12in for larger seats . added adjustable steering as well.
That sounds sick dude!
Cause I wasn't sure until I seen your video you are brilliant much respect for you skill and thoughts
Thanks :)
nice job☺️
Killing it with that solar set up
It's my neighbors
@@fishinkarts2865 they are killing it
Bro that’s a work of art
Thanks :)
Nice thanks
Hi nice build you did hay could you share with me what size of sprocket you used on all four of them thanks.
Nice build 👌
Thanks!
I saw that on fb marketplace
Wish i can make something like that but idk were to get a working engine like that
Find a non working one at a scrap yard or marketplace and fix it.
That's exactly what I did.
I found an air cooled ls650 single cylinder off letgo that runs and only has 1500miles for 400
How does the axle handle the weight of the engine? I'm thinking about putting a 650 suzuki motor in my buggy, worried the extra weight might break the axle
The axle on my cart is almost 1 1/2" in diameter so it handles the weight and power just fine.
Yeah but just a suggestion couldn’t u put the clutch on the inside then that way it would be easier
I had thought about it, but it would have gotten in the way when you have two people in in. It's tight enough as it is now.
Did you rig-up a neutral safety light on it?
After pricing a new 13hp and a $400 series 40 torque converter a totaled motor cycle engine made better since.
I kept the gauge cluster from the bike so it has a neutral light, oil pressure, and an over drive indicator
That sounds great
Where did you get the shifting cable? I've been having a hard time setting up my shifter so it'll shift and downshift
It's a boat steering cable or a control cable
I got it on amazon
@@fishinkarts2865 want to send me a picture of how you hooked it to the gear shifter on the engine?
@@nickblack562 I'm not sure if I can share photos on youtube but I'll try when I get the chance
@@fishinkarts2865 text me if need be 740-527-5040. Thank you, it would be appreciated
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Where can I get a transmission shifter like yours? I’m throwing a Yamaha xs400cc engine on mine. Thanks
It's entirely custom
@@fishinkarts2865 thank you
I’ve got something similar to this but I really don’t even know how to start I’ve got a Honda hyabusa engine but other then that I’m stuck I’ve never done anything like this basically all I got is the parts
You basically just have to start doing it and try to figure it out along the way. Watching some of the go kart channels on YT would probably help quite a bit too (ratherbwelding, red beards garage, cars and cameras, etc). A welder, grinder, and some other miscellaneous metal working and hand tools will definitely be required. If you do try it I'd love to see a video or some pics of it :)
@@fishinkarts2865 okay thanks it means a lot and definitely I’ll show you I still got a long way to go
@@bendollete2225 Good luck!
Suzuki makes the Busa.
Hello hopefully you'll respond even after a year but can you leave a link to where you got that gear shifter? If tryed searching on ebay but only find cables no handles with a lever for the clutch. Thank you
Sorry but it was custom made
@@fishinkarts2865 what parts did you use to make it?
@@stylze5767 some bolts and nuts, a spring, the control cable, another heavy duty cable for the clutch, a piece of tubing, and the clutch lever off of the motorcycle.
What did you use for the clutch cable?
I think it was the original parking brake cable from the go kart
Can I buy?
Sorry but no
The way your driving it you might have well just kept it stock. Fuckin smash on it. I wana see what it can do. It also sounds like its missing.
Yeah I know I baby it, but it always feels way faster while driving. The carbs don't have accelerator pumps so if you punch it while in too high of a gear, then it kind of stumbles before taking off. That might be what you are hearing. Other than that it runs almost perfectly.
@@fishinkarts2865 maybe get a mechanical or vacuum fuel pump to help the starving issue.
But would be cool to see some better shots of it going like a tripod shot and mph test. And show off what it can do.
@@cody181818 I have a couple of top speed runs on my channel. I might have to try to get some off board shots of it running.
@@fishinkarts2865 Whats it weigh?
@@SEILLC I honestly have no idea, but I would guestimate about 600-700lbs
