I don’t know the general consensus nor do I care. I simply think Charles completes the what used to be dynamic duo. Together y’all make the perfect trio! Love the content gentleman thank y’all!
15:47 - I love that Charles is all hunched over and full squat on top of the lift as if he's working on the bike with it still on the floor. Old habits die hard haha.
@@lukesnare8063 I guess you could see it that way.... but then again.... we're all watching videos about a bunch of grown men playing with mini bikes and go karts... so is there hope for us? LOL I think I enjoy their excitement and creativity, not to mention their daring attitudes when they test their creations!
Best small engine channel period! All 3 of you guys have a purpose on the show. I'm sure behind the scenes there might be disagreements as should be but for the sake of the channel keep it going. This is worth every show to watch.
I thought I was living the dream in the new paradigm when I was nine and my best friends dad modified his Taco mini bike with a Honda 50 manual shift engine, and these guys are still living the dream.
Ike going again brought back some memories for sure. With three now competing it will be interesting until you have 3 identical mini bikes or carts to go head to head at the same time. Danger plus bragging rights.
Good show lads! You fit each other well. I was a bit worried when Charles came on that it might be awkward but that hasn't been the case. Cool re-power! Cheers Terry
This is a nice Change in production format.really showing so many tricks of the trade. This is far superior than just build and blast productions. 7 year subscriber
Thanks For Doing It Man , I'm 60 , and got my 1st RUPP TT500 (?) around 9 .. it was in a local paper in the Classifieds for $25 .. Dad was cheap , but a Great Wrench , We built a couple Minibikes back then , and until he passed in January 2017 , We Rode Motorcycles together .. He was in a few Clubs , and We would meet , Him with a bunch of Riders ( Older Dudes , Dad's Regular Riding partner was near 100 , his name is Leo ) .. This Minibiking , and Motorcycle is a Lifelong Passion , When I see You guys wrenching , and Testing your Toys Out , it brings back Awesome and Much Simpler Times for me that I Miss .. Great Work and Keep the Faith !! - Val
I'm a fan of the mostly Charles cross over episode! Fun episode. Reminded me of earlier episodes before you even mentioned thats what you and Ike used to do!
Brings back memories of when I disassembled my first engine. It was a Briggs and Stratton lawnmower engine that was slightly newer than the one I owned at the time. Also I was planning to upgrade my own snowblower as well.
The Forrest section of the course always gets my blood pressure going !!! Charles made a nice run !! But we missed a wee bit of izzac's winning run 🙄 .Gee guys this mini bike really does look cool with the camouflage.. I'm always left inspired and wanting to see more !!! 🤪👍 Hay , God bless you all also all those people whom you love .. 🤍
This was fun to watch like the old days. You need to do one of your races through the hills like I did earlier where you have all different people running around the track in the mountains
Nice bike , Ike I think you could still knock off a second or two on your lap time cause Charles had it hammered down coming through the woods on his lap, you werent slow but I just knew Charles was going to fast coming up on the slab crossing and was gonna crash out but he took it like a pro and slid out a bit just coming out of the woods ,can’t wait to see you guys videos every week, good stuff 💯👍🏼
I don't think the snowblower story is silly, since watching engine modifications being done on this channel, I've often thought about what it'd be like to have a generator all hopped up with ported & polished stuff with skimmed heads and high-flow carbs & exhausts, would be one heck of a generator, a "Sports Generator" if you will... :P
Charles squatting on the bike rack has mee rolling xD i had a motorcycle lift for the longest time and did exactly that. i guess there is some comfort in doing things the old way before having better equipment lol love this channel!
Another great video guys. 4am and the Old Man from Washington NC enjoying with my coffee ☕. You three work so well together. Love y'all and waiting for the next video. 🛵🧔💝💝💝
I love the content. I can't wait to see you all get one of the high performance predator engines. and give that a try. You all have the content that I have seen,
Yep...I can see it from here... It's the rotation of the whatshamuhcallit interconnecting with the side movement of the thingamajig making a knocking sound as the insides are trying to get to the outside as shrapnel...
Take the side cover off, take out the knocking bearing; shim the bearing with a strip of cardboard behind it and replace bearing. my grandfather did this with my mini bike and other small engines; old school trick and it will last years!
8:51 I wonder if the crank getting overheated caused it to anneal and get soft to the point of allowing excess wear. 18:30 What is that in the background? I don't remember seeing that fun looking toy before.
Blue on the crank journal is not a worry. Thats just where the journal has been induction hardened. I`ve torn down brand new Honda GX engines and noticed bluing on the journals.
15:35 you know your a gear head when you crack open a fresh bottle of oil and wanna give it a sniff lol. P.S. your old tired brake cable is probably stretched if it won't grab a full adjustment
Charles, you should get some EBC grooved brake shoes! They did wonders for stopping distance and squealing on mine. For $17, it's a must-do on these colemans. Also, I love the classic front wheel bearing squeal during Ike's run. Gives me some heavy nostalgia.
I can relate, my first go with these engines was a replacement for my 70s arrens snowblower, and i hopped it up and did all kinds of anger mods to throw snow on my neighbor's porch🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't know how much a side cover costs but I would overboard that camshaft hole and press in a bronze bushing that has a shoulder then redrill the oil hole. I did that on a locked up lawn mower engine where the crank fused to the aluminum bore due to there being no oil. Worked great. Got bushing from menards. Used a drill press.
The idea of more power on the snowblower is to get finished faster. Faster is better when it's freezing outside. But finishing before your neighbor must give some satisfaction. 😄
Great video once again guys! We are currently working on turning a tracked craftsman snow blower into a fun unit. It would be cool to see you guys find one with tracks and see what you could come up with!
I love the Dirt Hog... I also have a 200ex with a Tilly 212 slightly modified lol. Put a VM22, Billet Flywheel, 22lb valve springs, Hot 265 Cam, connecting rod, header and delete that governor she'll be set for a minute. Only thing is I'm not sure they make a Billet Flywheel that'll allow for the starter.
You're gonna have to camo paint the blue cover tho. Or paint the bike blue. The blue against the camp looks wrong. Otherwise a well balanced, fun bike. I want one.
The blueing on the crankshaft journal is from where the factory hardened the journal, its completely normal. Every honda gx200 clone engine I've opened has the same blueing
loved the video, have a coleman ct200u ex myself and wanted to put the new Predator 224cc engine with a stage 2 on it. You guys should do a Predator 224cc build soon!
FYI, it looks like the previous owner didn't use a gasket. I've been through this before. These engines are set up for a gasket. The end play is to small without using a side cover gasket.
@ Brian borshoff ,Yes I agree , it doesn't seem like the gasket would be the problem but I know this is definitely the case here , the gasket is quite thick . A mistake I myself have made but of course learnt the hard way.
i have a old herchee 65cc 4 wheeler that ive swapped a 212 into and a go power sports jug torque converter and mancuni carb with a gov delete and aftermarket cam and its just sitting around. i have a kid on the way and have no more time for it at least until 5 years old or so lol i was 7 when i got my first dirtbike . if the cars and cam crew is wanting to buy it for shipping cost only HMU. ive gone 50 on a smaller rear sprocket but right now i have it has a big rear sprocket so my nephew could practice his wheelies. im in tx and if you pay for the shipping i will send it to you for shipping cost only. i also have plenty of gopowersports part to go with it. BTW i used c&c code for all the parts and i would like to personally thank the guys at cars and cameras for all the effort these guys put into there videos and builds because if it was not for you guys this build would have never happened and would have probably rusted away in my scrap pile. IM me on youtube or send me a email and i will give any info needed.:)
I feel kinda stupid and can’t figure it out for life of me. I have an old craftsman snowblower motor on my mini bike and the shaft constantly spins even with the idle pin fully loose. Won’t I just burn through belts if it’s constantly spinning
My tech tip for working on any drum brakes. Tie a bright colored string to each spring just in case one would happen to go flying. Has save me many times.
Hey I'm trying to find a reverse kit for my 420 predator engine, do you know any transmisions that would work, or could you maybe make a video about it.
The problem with repurposed snowblower engines is most of them do not have air filters in stock configuration. I don’t know about Honda, but the other brands don’t because they ice up and choke out.
Where you removed the bolt to mount the converter. You should go back and take the converter back off drill a hole big enough to place the converter back without warping it.
Long live the dirt hog!
The lawn mower go
hell yeah brother!
Nice bike CarsandCameras
I don’t know the general consensus nor do I care. I simply think Charles completes the what used to be dynamic duo. Together y’all make the perfect trio! Love the content gentleman thank y’all!
Agreed!
I agree it's hard to have a trio and not make it feel too overwhelming and busy, they do an awesome job
Yea you guys was funy
They get in where they fit in well...
It wouldn't be the same without Charles's goofiness tho,thats for certain....
100% agree . It wouldn’t be the same if he ever left .
15:47 - I love that Charles is all hunched over and full squat on top of the lift as if he's working on the bike with it still on the floor. Old habits die hard haha.
Lmao, I just noticed that.
So glad Charles joined the crew! He really fits in and is a great addition to the show!
Charles was really a great addition to the team
I agree!!
Super addition!
Yeha, much better than the previous douche-y guy
I've gotta disagree with that one, he's a little odd ball.
@@lukesnare8063 I guess you could see it that way.... but then again.... we're all watching videos about a bunch of grown men playing with mini bikes and go karts... so is there hope for us? LOL

Love the look of that little bike . Nice that Charles stuff is getting some love , he’s such a cool guy 👍

You know you're going to have a great birthday when one of your favorite powersports channels uploads today. Thank you guys!
Happy birthday dawg!
Hope it's a Great Birthday!
I'd love to see a video of tear down repair and rip of that engine
About time Charles gets in and mixes it up. 👏👏👏
Love the Dirt Hog ! Gotta get a sticker... I live in Arkansas & the logo matches 😂. Charles is the perfect addition. Awesome content as always!

Great episode! Need more Charles projects! He brings a different type of build style in and it fits perfect!
Another fun video from the Cars and Cameras trio. Really look forward to these videos.
That thing is awesome but man that governor is hitting early, it'll be a monster as soon as you stage 2 that puppy! Keep up the great work boys!
Really love the longer build videos
I took a break from working on my bike to come in and watch the guys work on their bike.
It's good guy Charles! The only thing missing was John's lap!
I'm a fan of the mostly Charles cross over episode! Fun episode. Reminded me of earlier episodes before you even mentioned thats what you and Ike used to do!
Nice and usually it's always something small hopefully you make it worth it and have hella fun guys with the project

Just curious, but have y’all ever thought about getting a real timer that has a photo electric beam to use on the Grand Prix laps?
Cars and camera role call lol been waiting all day for a video
awesome i learned so much from these vids and my roommate he now wants to be a mechanic ty guys
Charles makes for some good competition 😎 you guys have to do a three lap triple run off 🥰
I don't think the snowblower story is silly, since watching engine modifications being done on this channel, I've often thought about what it'd be like to have a generator all hopped up with ported & polished stuff with skimmed heads and high-flow carbs & exhausts, would be one heck of a generator, a "Sports Generator" if you will... :P
I can't miss a video. This UA-cam channel has it all, keep it up guys I don't get bored of this! The dirt hog is a hoggggggg!
John, issac and Charles what a trio seshhhhh
Charles squatting on the bike rack has mee rolling xD i had a motorcycle lift for the longest time and did exactly that. i guess there is some comfort in doing things the old way before having better equipment lol love this channel!
Charles is the man. Cool dude and great Mechanic. All the best bro
Another great video guys. 4am and the Old Man from Washington NC enjoying with my coffee ☕. You three work so well together. Love y'all and waiting for the next video. 🛵🧔💝💝💝
This bike is gonna ride very well when you guys get finished gota new upgraded engine and new brakes upgraded chain..the old girl def needed this...
Another great episode. Bikes, engines, laughs, good times.
locked in from the uk ! keep up the great work guys
One of the best channels and three people on UA-cam!
Nice video man! I have the same mini bike but with a built Tillitson 225🤘🏻
Lol that chain is.....woe out lmao🍿🔥🔥18:55
I love the content. I can't wait to see you all get one of the high performance predator engines. and give that a try. You all have the content that I have seen,
Yep...I can see it from here...
It's the rotation of the whatshamuhcallit interconnecting with the side movement of the thingamajig making a knocking sound as the insides are trying to get to the outside as shrapnel...
Awesome device also, love the vids and hope you guys have a good day and buccee's sticker
Take the side cover off, take out the knocking bearing; shim the bearing with a strip of cardboard behind it and replace bearing. my grandfather did this with my mini bike and other small engines; old school trick and it will last years!
Wow that new shop is filling up nicely !
8:51 I wonder if the crank getting overheated caused it to anneal and get soft to the point of allowing excess wear.
18:30 What is that in the background? I don't remember seeing that fun looking toy before.
Trick I use on brake shoes is to use a cut off wheel and due grinder to cut angled grooves in the shoe and it helps clear dirt and mud.
I like what you did with the camo straps and the camo bike
Love the videos and for the dirt hog stickers i think you should do a blue background and and camo letters
Blue on the crank journal is not a worry. Thats just where the journal has been induction hardened. I`ve torn down brand new Honda GX engines and noticed bluing on the journals.
6:51 - You're all good Charles. No need to visit the Doctor. Ike doesn't think it's you're rod. 👍🤣👍🤣
15:35 you know your a gear head when you crack open a fresh bottle of oil and wanna give it a sniff lol.
P.S. your old tired brake cable is probably stretched if it won't grab a full adjustment

Hell yeah, love the Buc-ee’s sticker!
I love watching this channel! I have so many questions about the go kart I got for my kids lol
I can relate, my first go with these engines was a replacement for my 70s arrens snowblower, and i hopped it up and did all kinds of anger mods to throw snow on my neighbor's porch🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice, a classic Coleman mod!
Great group of guys!! Love all the videos from day one!!$$
I don't know how much a side cover costs but I would overboard that camshaft hole and press in a bronze bushing that has a shoulder then redrill the oil hole.

Love the content! Y’all should do a harbor freight jon boat.
Great video once again guys! We are currently working on turning a tracked craftsman snow blower into a fun unit. It would be cool to see you guys find one with tracks and see what you could come up with!
I would like to see that Tillotson 212 with a stage 3 but retain the electric start!
You guys have a 300ft dirt drag strip right there
You can get a go light to put up at the start line like the drag too and use it for the gp aswell
That is one awesome mini bike thank you for the video
I love the Dirt Hog... I also have a 200ex with a Tilly 212 slightly modified lol. Put a VM22, Billet Flywheel, 22lb valve springs, Hot 265 Cam, connecting rod, header and delete that governor she'll be set for a minute.

I wish I had friends like you guys
I've been thinking for a few videos now: That 1 lil tree at the woods exit REALLY needs to go.
The blueing on the crankshaft journal is from where the factory hardened the journal, its completely normal. Every honda gx200 clone engine I've opened has the same blueing
loved the video, have a coleman ct200u ex myself and wanted to put the new Predator 224cc engine with a stage 2 on it. You guys should do a Predator 224cc build soon!

You guys should break out some of your guys mini bikes an go trail riding
Thanks for doing this, I have been thinking about a 212 tilly ungoverned with a juggernaut. What is the stock gearing ratio vs a cvt?
The Buc-Ees sticker makes it faster, for sure!
i have a old herchee 65cc 4 wheeler that ive swapped a 212 into and a go power sports jug torque converter and mancuni carb with a gov delete and aftermarket cam and its just sitting around. i have a kid on the way and have no more time for it at least until 5 years old or so lol i was 7 when i got my first dirtbike . if the cars and cam crew is wanting to buy it for shipping cost only HMU. ive gone 50 on a smaller rear sprocket but right now i have it has a big rear sprocket so my nephew could practice his wheelies. im in tx and if you pay for the shipping i will send it to you for shipping cost only. i also have plenty of gopowersports part to go with it.

As always guys great video have fun
Those bikes have so much torque!! I have to take so many wide turns lol
Damn that knocking engine stil has some balls!!
Way to go looks like a ball bet ya can't get it to go faster but without changing the gear ratio ? All the best to you all
My tech tip for working on any drum brakes. Tie a bright colored string to each spring just in case one would happen to go flying. Has save me many times.
Hey I'm trying to find a reverse kit for my 420 predator engine, do you know any transmisions that would work, or could you maybe make a video about it.
i had same issiue my billet rod bearings were bad just a bit, put new rod bearing in and proper crank play good as gold
hell yes guys kick ass video as always keep it up.
Ike on the ragged edge was epic.
The problem with repurposed snowblower engines is most of them do not have air filters in stock configuration. I don’t know about Honda, but the other brands don’t because they ice up and choke out.
Honda snow blowers don’t have air filters either. They have a thin metal screen but that’s it
And because there's no dust
Y’all are going to have to make some Dirt Hog merch with the plasma table.
Where you removed the bolt to mount the converter. You should go back and take the converter back off drill a hole big enough to place the converter back without warping it.
Charles reminds me of Bo Duke on Dukes of Hazzard!😂😂
Great video thanks
I just bought myself a 1987suzuki fa50 and I love it and I found out that it's one of them that was imported from Japan
