Some of you people are absolute assclowns. You’re acting like it’s open heart surgery! It’s a damn go kart, and it’s his! If he wants to pour hot tar in the crankcase it’s his right! Never seen so many professional engine builders on a damn go kart UA-cam channel. He spit a head, cam and a piston in that cart in half an hour and will probably run it for 3 more year. Jeez. I think he did just fine.
You are right, but given the fact that these videos are shot as tutorials, Some precaution about the dirt would have been more professionnal. But yes, he can do whatever he wants.
Internet experts, aka mechanically inept couch potatoes. Amazing how often you see them in karting channel comments with various tarded advice which a sensible person wouldn't touch with a bargepoll.
This video is well done. Precautions about dirt are a little overboard. That should be learned as a prerequisite for any engine building. How far do you want him to go? Explain the MSDS of oil, gasket sealer, and gas? Explain all pinch point dangers? Make sure you have hearing protection when your air compressor kicks on? There are some things that should be expected when you are tackling something as precise engine Assembly. There are plenty of other videos on those subjects as well

Unfortunately Common sense went out with the wokeage!.
I would really like to see one of these engines taken as far as it can go. Big bore, hot cam, roller valvetrain. Bigger valves, ported head, higher compression. All that fun stuff just to see what it'll do.
Had a 200cc built fully to a 326cc. Built a custom buggy for it, thing was insane.
Standard A-block gy6s can be bored and stroked to 212cc along with having 4 valve heads. B-block gy6s can be bored and stroked to 240cc along with 4 valve heads. Theres also DOHC 4 valve heads. Theres now custom machined gy6 blocks that are pushing around 350cc. Theres also water cooled cylinder kits available.
search "worlds fastest TaoTao". 8.79 @72mph in an 1/8th mile
CHECK OUT ROLLING WRENCH GARAGE. HE DID A WHOLE VIDEO ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS YOU CAN DO WITH THEM...
A couple of things for the people that are whining. 1 The oil was changed right before the meet up and went through about 3 quarts in one day from burning oil. 2 I didn't clean the engine before tearing it down and it runs perfectly fine after. 3 the dowels for the rockers were in the rockers when installed.
Red Beard's Garage you can rebuild the top end without removing the swing arm. Remove the seat . That is how I did my carter gy6 kart.
When filming a video its easier to remove the swing arm. Only takes a few minutes
Luv u got the opportunity to sort out the kart for the daughter after the arm heals now she has the ability to get thrashing again
@@RedBeardsGarage what is the break in period on the rings?
bro this video was exactly what I needed to give me the confidence to dig into the gy6 motor I just popped. At less than a hundred bucks a rebuild I'm not too worried about everything being perfect.
Thanks for finally doing some gy6 videos! Not everyone has a Predator on the back! Been hoping to see you get into some gy6 stuff so thanks!
Hi, i you want know more about GY6 go to rolling wrench channel, it all about scooter and GY6 modification. Good source for GY6 performance modification
I stand by these gy6 motors as one of the best engines to learn how to rebuild an engine on. They’re a great first project. The best second project would probably be something like a predator 212. A small lawnmower engine. But these engines are super forgiving, you don’t have to worry about the bearings as much because it’s all roller bearings. Very simple project to learn the very basics. It’s the first engine I ever rebuilt. My rebuilt motor is super sketch and idk how long it’ll run for but it does run, and it does run well. My issue now is with the stupid cvt.
I have an old Kandi 250cc buggy project. Finally got the engine fully rebuilt with some performance mode as well as a whole new harness
There are upper alignment dowels the go between the rocker cage and head. They go on the opposite engine case / head bolts from the lower ones I do believe. You might have forgotten them.
They was in the rockers when I pulled them off the old head. Trust me there in there
Just picked up a 150xrx that’s been neglected, but paid $100 for the whole thing, motor an all! Time to rebuild it!
Man people are gonna complain and act like they know everything with there 4 subscribers and a play list of other people's videos lol. I dont own one of these, probably never will, but I still enjoyed watching it. These type of builds/rebuilds are what I enjoy cuz the average person can perform them. Great video!
Eventually I'll get my hands on a GY6. (Starry-eyed sigh) PLEASE build something for the Jr. Dragster engine!
thank you red beard i watched this video acouple years ago and was able to get my gy6 powered gokart running.
its been acting weird so i bought a peformace cdi with red wire and was frustrated with what to do with it then remembered this video thanks again for the great content and how much detail you put into what you were doing it helped so much
The way you talked during he directions was so professional great job red beard!!👌👍
Nice job, Red! I love watching you build engines, or just about anything. Not much excuse for someone needing a building guide with content like yours! 👍👍
Nicely edited instructions! You kindly sped through the fluff and got to the meat and potatoes. I appreciate that. Sub'd
Great videos, something to note. The wrist pin clip should be installed with the open end facing up or down in reference to the stroke ( I couldn't tell the witch way you did it, not saying you wrong). If they are perpendicular to the stroke, inertia could cause the clip to come out. Thought it would be something for your viewers to know. Really dig your videos, love that setup table!
Thorough wiring replacement harness would be great too. All the ones I see have severely corroded harness these days
you should go to j D's custom buggies for this stuff, he built race buggies to race on dirt bike tracks that are 150 g y 6
Red beard seems like such a genuine nice guy. Really love all your videos man!
Picking up the same cart today, thanks for all the info I will be re watching as I dig in to it. Great video!
I just got one and it's excellent condition garage kept, been having problems as soon as I get it with carb and performance.. please let me know first few things to do that would be best under a budget
Funny seeing this in a go kart, all my knowledge on gy6 is for the ruckus swap. Surprised this motor can move such a big thing!
The do a pretty good job at it with these smaller tires
brilliant Rebuild!
I was just flipping by looking for mufflers for a GY6 and saw this. Great instructions and I might try an upgrade on my smoky joe farm buggy. It runs great now but good to see an upgrade isn't that hard, you say 30 minutes? Sounds good in theory, if I could do it in a weekend I'd be tickled.
Guessing there is a witness mark on the crank somewhere that should be lined up to make sure the cam is timed to the crank? Sometimes when you drop tension on the chain the crank can move and set the cam tooth or two off once put back together. But maybe this isn't an issue on these?
Never been a problem for me. Line the dots up and let it hang. Although i keep tension on the chain by placing a screw driver in it while its hanging.
You would have to spin the engine to get the chain out of timing.
@@RedBeardsGarage is there a way to lock the engine in place
Ima rebuild my 03 hammerhead 250cn this week hopefully if all the parts arrive in time. Bought it for $180 with some missing engine parts and insted of installing a 150cc I got for 10 dollars ima just rebuild the old water cooled 250 and hopefully everything goes well.
great video thanks for the knowledge you shared, good life to you and yours !!
sweet
ba ll sack
Your the first bro 👊💯
I’m building a kart from scratch with a 150 like this.
Great how to vid mate did it twice got sick of it 420 cloned her and built up ATV bottom end as gearbox goes sweet and reliable put a tray on the rear carries me gear luv it .good job mate cheers
Appreciate the video. Recently picked one up that's not been running for a few years and was wondering where to find parts
about the corrosion on the spakcoil : smear some dylectic grease or silicone grease on the new one , should stop water gettingg in there some
This was great, I have that engine on my scooter so I'll be visiting the links for performance parts.
did it work on the scooter ?
Good job
Great to have GY6 info on here cheers 👍
RB you should have used some Dielectric Grease on coil wire
Sweet bud . Be careful bout those ebay cams i bought one and it was milled wrong and destroyed my stainless valves
t'aurais pu faire la vidéo complète pour que le kart démarre histoire de voir, je suis frustré comme jamais maintenant mais toujours au top Red Beard's garage , excellente vidéo, !!! plus qu'a attendre la suite , HAAAAA !!
I'm having the same smoking issue with an ace maxxam i recently picked up.does any one know if its typical to replace the piston,bore and rings in a gy6 or could i get away with just replacing the rings?
awesome video Ive been waiting for you to due a gy6 build Ive got a gy6 150 that needs a rebuild thanks for the vid
Awsome cid red beard keep the vids coming im gonna starte building a trailmaster off road bike frame with my uncle im so excited 😃😃😃
Get one of the hammerhead 250 karts and build it up it’ll run really strong and run forever
Im familiar all around with the 150 gy6, but im hesitant on the 250cc. Are there any weak points within the motor? Ex: the 150 gy6 exhaust valves most always tighten up after an inital break in
Those are underpowered pigs from what I've seen on forums.
I just finished rebuilding a kinroad sahara 250.
It's better than a gy6 but not fast by any means.
flat ground it made 65km/h on gps, downhill it could make 75-78km/h
But i have very light rollers on it, 17 grams and a red torque spring. I might have lost some top speed. acceleration and torque is decent tho.
@@observantservant2135 Very few performance parts available for the 250s but i love my 250s. Ive got 20 buggys from 150cc-1000cc
@@Ratkill9000 250s are awesome. They just dont have many performance options like the 150s.
Best all round cart out there
Great video man. I have the same go kart and need to rebuild the top end. I’m a bargain shopper and found a top end kit for much cheaper on a different site than you are using. I need the engine number but can’t seem to find it. It would be great if you could help me out with the engine number and again great videos man thanks for taking the time to make things easier for other people👍🏻
I'm not going to whine I was going to say it looks like your floor Jack needs oil awesome rebuild have a great day.😀
Great detailed videos like these are what sets your videos a step above others. Keep up the great work you do.
Awesome teacher!...love the music, your tone and cadence. Thanks for a great video!
I just bought one for my kids it's used but it's like brand-new it's a 150 twister hammerhead any ideas what I could do to make some upgrades possibly little more torque
I could really use some help! I've been trying to figure out why my gy6 won't fire. I changed EVERYTHING to do with ignition and spark. The wiring was screwed when I bought it maybe a really diagram could help? I've looked at 3 different ones none have worked so far
I cant believe he lets that shredder just set out there in the weather. Those are $5000. Send it my way and I'll take care of it 🙋♂️
I want to see a performance gy6 build and dyno so bad
Next time take the shift cable bracket and shift cam out all connected after marking it will save time
you didn't clock the piston rings and when you installed the "lined up the holes" on the cam, the piston wasn't at top dead center.
Any suggestions for clutching for a Trailmaster Challenger side x side. Like primary roller weights, secondary and centrifugal springs to use. It does pretty good, just slightly luggs the engine until about 5mph then takes off like a powerband on a 2 stroke
Dude thank you for you post on this , I have a gy6 and without this video I would be lost
Really like your channel! Can you help with a GY6 161QMB-BK2 rebuild?
Nice ! I wish I had a Go Power Sports when I used to do stuff like this...really all that was wrong with it, to fix it, was that it needed a new piston ring set though, am I right ? And don't forget to break in those new rings properly guys. Have Fun !
I just got a Massimo GKM 200 go kart. What performance upgrades do you recommend to make this thing faster?
"About a quart of ol" gotta love the southern accent Haha.
Merci mon cher frère
Awww dangit.. you're gonna make me wait to see the post-rebuild ripsnort?! :(
Screw the haters Greg. Keep doing what you're doing man.
i wish i lived closer to you i don't understand the wiring with mine.
Jeeesus. Did you ever change the oil in that thing ?
I agree that the rebuild looks easy on this motor. Just not sure I need it. My friend asked me to look at a Trail Master Challenger 150 that won't start. It's got spark and I checked the compression but it only has about 35lbs of compression. The engine will not even fire. Compression sounds very low to me, but perhaps it has a compression relief for starting. It was running fine, no smoke. They shut it off and it won't start again. I cannot imagine that the motor was running with only 35lb of compression, so I'm suspicious that the low compression is a red herring. Any advice?
my gy6 engine works fine but one day the starter decided to turn but not turn over the go kart and if you look at the fly wheel while turning the key nothing happens it just sounds like the starter is turning against another gear and thats it. i replaced the starter and no it is not one with a solenoid i think it is supposed to engage in the motor separate from the starter but i dont know what else to do can you give me instructions on how to diagnose the problem. thanks
Wow Dude...!
You make it look simple ...👍
& Thank you..! 🙏
What is the biggest I can take my 150cc gy6 157qmj engine to without having to have it bored out
Up to a 171cc bro I think 61mm
There are some drop in 171cc kits. But most you have to bore the case
Hi Red great video I’m doing a rebuild and the kit came with these two brownish red plugs but I don’t know where those go. Wondering if you could help me. Thanks
Muy útil la mesa con muchos hoyos
Love your channel. Can you any of you subscribers advise me if I was going to buy a used kart for my yard and street (I live at a dead end). What kart would you suggest I look at getting. My plans were to purchase a frame and build from there I may go a stage 1 or 2 on a predator motor. Nothing major just a little more that the standard 6.5 hp provided by predator. I have some mechanical experience but will learn everything probably off you tube from great people like Red Beard's Garage. I have checked Ebay and FB but most everything I am seeing is mainly for racing. Any suggestions. I see some retailers that sell karts. Is there a place that sells used or just kart frames? Thanks
Do you offer a 161ZMK-B2 rebuild service. I have no idea how to go about this. I can't find a company or individual that I could send my engine too, to have it built. Any Help?
I have an old buggy my buddy gave me. It has a 125cc 152QMI 124cm3. Are parts available for this engine? Any help would be appreciated.
Is there any simple way to make these motors faster? I added a new air filter and I’m gonna mess with the carb but otherwise I don’t know what else I can do. I’m not very mechanically inclined so I look for easy things to improve.
How do you find TDC on these ? I'm sure it is something really simple, just thought I'd ask before I tear into mine
More GY6 content please !! 😁🤘
Just take the spark plug out and use a drinking straw to find TDC
Are all the GY6 150cc motors the same from go cart to IceBear maddog 150 trike. If not what's the difference between parts or are they interchangeable. It's like whoever is selling parts for the IceBear maddog bikes are charging a arm and leg meanwhile you see other sites charging less but will they work on any gy6
I just bought a used spider go kart with the 150cc. I see where everyone is buying thr Predators engine but my sprocket is on the right hand side. Predates have the shaft coming out on the opposite side.
Is there comefindof conversation kit. I was wanting around to get about 15 hp to keep up with my buddies.
Ps your UA-cam site is totally awesome!!!!!!
Do you do work for others
Thanks
Should have gotten a 180cc cylinder kit
gotta bore the case.
Awesome info as always RBG!
I want to see what your going to do with that Kubota engine in the lawn mower
Did you check the compression after the rebuild? I have the same engine and I believe my problem is low compression but I don't know what it should be.
wow what a great how to video.
good application👍👍
Hey can you please help I just bought a helix 150 it has the gy6 and I need to know wiring harness I have no idea what to do
Hello. I have a 150cc go kart and I have some parts to modify it; 58.5mm piston kit, 30mm carburetor, and would you like to know if I install an a12 or A14 camshaft?
I've got a 169cc GY6. Any suggestions for cheap upgrades and wheels?
hi friend ..i bought a gy6 150cc go kart ..but the last owner took apart the head and lost it with rockers the only thing is there is the piston . all the plastic that cover the engine lost ..you thing its better to buy a new motor ?
I miss my 150cc scooter watching this
I know this is an old video but hopefully I get an answer, my 150cc gy6 buggy burnt a stator so I replaced it, when I test rode it, it was leaking out the stator seal, I made sure it wasn’t low on oil every time I started it, last night I took it out for about 10-20 mins and when I pulled in to the shed it started to knock at idel.. if I rev it or shift in to gear it doesn’t knock but at neutral n low idel it knocks... what could it be?
What size oil seal my gy6 mgneto 19.8 30 5 or 18 .8 30 5 for gy6 125
Is it common that 150 rings leak oil or it because long use ?
This one had a ton of hours and about 8 years of riding. I would say as long as there serviced right they will last.
my hammerhead smoked like a tar kettle when i got it. it also didnt have an air filter and the kids drove it on a dirt road. that was probably the problem.
That'll keep the mosquitoes away when you're camping.
did you put on the stock exhaust
Can you do a starter gear how to video for a gy6 one day?
If we get a good candidate we will sir
Great video brother. Keep them coming
I have a quick question Mr.Red Beard . you replace the carburetor to a mikuni WHAT CABLE DID YOU USED TO REPLACE THE OLD carburetor Cable? Or if you can send me the link. Thank you so much for the video I already ordered an engine rebuild kit ..
would this also be the same for a gy6 moped
My wrist pin is seized in the rod. I hope the rod isn't damaged
Red beard garage my daughter go cart is getting spark and fuel but still won't start or run any suggestions it's a gy6 as well
I’ve been out here for an hour and I cannot get the dang carburetor mount thing off
Hey Greg. I’m looking to install one of those performance CDI’s on my 150cc go kart. Do you have a video showing how to splice in the hot wire??
at 1:15 does anyone see the new wheels on the truck?
