We have 2 tomberlin crossfire 150r's, a first gen crossfire and a punisher. Love them. Gy6's are awesome. Gotta get a new motor for one since the previous owner neglected it. But the other three run great. Lots of fun. The spiderbox has a weak front end. If you guys want some ideas on how to upgrade it. Let me know and I can send you some good information.
@@Ch33z3cak3 Damn that sucks. my dad told me when he was growing up during the Vietnam war and his dad was in the Army so he had to move almost every 2 years. I’m so happy i’ve only moved once because meeting friends than having to leave over and over would suck
Y'all should keep a little handheld radio on you whenever you are out driving solo so that you can maintain communication and make sure everyone is ok.
@@TT4ME Phones require you to either answer a call, or already be in a call. Radio you just leave on and when the other person hits the PTT, it transmits the sound to you. Also radios are cheap and the batteries last longer than a phones, as the ONLY thing the radio does is transmit and receive.
@@CallsignWulf Is it hard to make a quick call to say you're ok? Or a text? Why go buy radios when you already have a phone. I drive alone and if something happened I will use my phone. You guys act like they're riding cross country alone. They're on a small course on his property.
It's still a good idea, hand held radios are inexpensive and all you have to do is push a button to talk, and most of them can just clip onto whatever...
@@TT4ME yeah, I doubt they have their probably expensive phones in their pockets while they ride go karts around. Also, it's because they are on his property they should have radios it's much quicker than using a phone and easier if they actually have an accident.
That was a Dennis Anderson monster truck style save!!!!!!!!🙊🙊 remember if you're going to roll always turn the front tire into the direction you're falling🙏😵
If you wher to add like 3 or fountains to your pond it wood clean right up and fish will servive in it . The flow fro the fountains wood push all that green stuff to the sides and also add oxygen to help fish live.
I love the GY6. I have one in my Ruckus. There is so much aftermarket for them. You guys should do a big bore, cam, and head for it. It'll really wake it up!
Attention John , Look on Facebook marketplace , I saw a yerf dog and a couple of small trail 70 type motorbikes last night , They were in the Raleigh / Wendell area.
Y'all did get lucky, but im still not suprised. GY6's are tanks. I had a base gasket leak and ran mine clean out of oil on a 2 mile top speed run. Didnt even notice until i took a corner at 40 and the oil coated rear tire tried stepping out on me. She still runs like a dream. Though, even as a 4 time GY6 owner, i never expected them to haul a go kart like that. Maybe ill pick one up.....
@@fredlewis7711 Nah better use whole drive train to something, including engine. Little flood damage wont do much to any engine if its drained and dried properly.
I'd love to watch a videos of all your projects being restored (I really mean all of them being fixed, painted and ready to run without missing parts) and getting stored on a massive barn or whatever kind of shelter right on John's big property, that would be nice man. love your videos guys!
I found a mbx10 for $50. Like new. The guy had no clue why it kept fouling plugs. The thing was in perfect shape. No rust on anything. Engine looks new too. It was fouling plugs because our elevation. I offered him more but he said no. I bought a predator 212 for it. Got the mount, stage 1 kit. Replaced everything just because I wanted brand new. I'm almost finished. The rear wheel bearings are being a pain but that's the last thing. Definitely worth the $50
@@4486xxdawson thats outstanding im on my 7th, I bought a 20 in aug . My second efi bike , I freekin love being able to fire it up when there's frost on the tank.
Gy6 good engine. You can do a big bore 180cc kit and cam for not alot of money, you need to split motor and open up the cases to accept the big bore barrel. Our kart flys after that upgrade.
Don't forget to check your CVT!! The GY6 has a drain and fill plug just like a standard transmission. The vent on the top could have had water enter the CVT, you don't want to destroy those bearings. Drain fluid and fill with gear oil :)
I pulled a 50cc gy6 scooter out of a drain ditch that had been submerged for at least a month and somehow that thing still ended up working just fine, plus there was water in the engine, an absolute ton came out when I opened the dipstick. All I can say is I’m impressed with the durability of those small engines.
C10 is looking really nice John👍 Pretty slick property Issac, right on the water👌 If you guys strap in tighter it will help a bit. Super rough ride , I'll give you that. Great driving, nice save Ike😁🍻 Dang it Bobby!!
People hate on the gy6 Kats but these are not bad platforms. I've had several and all were good karts. Motors all ran good with reverse. Would like to this build.👍👍👍
I've been binge watching your videos for about a week now after getting some interest in getting a cheap go kart to fix up and run around with a buddy of mine. I was siked to learn in this video that you guys are from NC too!
I lived in Wilmington for a year and it was wonderful... to bad the 2 company's I worked for went under ..... I really didn't have alot of connections down there and I needed to move my family and myself back to Ny ..... really wish it had worked out .... Wilmington was a beautiful access point to all sorts of amazing places and things to do ..... I really miss it
Those special battery hold-downs also double as linkage hold-downs, axle nuts, heim joints, motor mounts, and electrical terminal clamps. Personally I like to put them over my cam lobes so I get more performance.
Glad to see the dog lives! But on a different note; I have a suggestion for a project! Building an electric go-kart using hub-motors. Perhaps replace the motor with a stack of batteries, or copy Tesla and build a similar design as them for housing batteries in the floorpan. With motors, you could do 2 hubs in the back or go wild and do 4 individual hub motors for 4 wheel drive. Full long travel independent suspension. Lace the hub motors up to fat wheels for better tracking. It could be insane. And I can't say I've seen anyone else doing it.
Love your vids guys. Just bringing to your attention, the grand course times... I may be wrong but one time is out of place since you posted it that day. Keep the vids coming! Big fan!
John you guys are great. Had appt with your Dad this morning. Really enjoyed the video. This Old Man really enjoy the video. My 6 year old Great Grandson going to love it also. 👍💗
Today on Cars and Cameras ,the Yerf dog has a soggy bottom end ,Ike shows off how to not to bin it in style and John shakes his brain to moosh and surprisingly dose not crash ,great episode guys glad so see the old yerf back on the track👍👍
I got the exact same model just in blue same gy6 and I love that thing having some wiring issues right might just order a new harness from go power sports
Ironic, I just saw Godfrey's (Yerf-dog founder Godfrey spelled backwards) nascar today at the Coleman power sports headquarters. I was able to see all the Coleman mini bike prototypes, and other prototype vehicles their working on. Their is some solid products coming out to market.
All that luscious grass and that stagnant pond it would be awesome to see you guys make a homemade hovercraft!!!! you could drive it out to your private island as well👍
This episode felt like it had less edits in the clips, like the camera kept rolling for the side conversations and other side stuff going on other than just the main topic at hand. I like ones like this a lot because it felt more real and seemed less about keeping it well produced and concise all the time. It adds personality to the episodes. 👌🏻
Hey guys im a 13 year old boy from Washington and I really love your channel I just got back from the ER because I accidentally cut my finger off with a grinder and I thought I would tell my favorite people on UA-cam, have a good day and stay safe.😀
JOHN: It’ll be nice to have a gokart that won’t try to kill us... ISAAC: Hey Y’all, watch this! #BurtReynoldsStyle Why didn’t you just get Isaac’s laptime from the Onboard cameras? Ike might’ve won that lap, and finished on two wheels. 🏁
in terms of GY6 karts, I got mine from my neighbor after trading them a little 50cc 2 stroke go kart. Me and the whole neighborhood pretty much got history with this cart so I'm going all out with it, slapping performance parts left and right onto it, thing's gonna be sweet. topped out at about 40mph stock, can't wait to see what it'll do after I get the engine all put back together
I had one of these things when I was younger. I was turning going pretty fast and rolled it. It ran for a little bit longer but a piece of the spark plug got stuck in it. And then we got rid of it. These things are really tippy
I live in Goldsboro North Carolina I love you guys I love your videos I would love to meet you at Busco Beach I just got love for everybody lol oh and great videos y'all do a good job 🙏✌
Crazy how fast that thing is and bone stock! I have the 3203. But I put on a duromax 440 18hp and a stage 1 on it with a 40 series torque converter wearing a 12t drive sprocket all (except the motor) from gopowersports.com!
I had forgotten how legendary these go karts were! For a big 150cc go kart, they're pretty fast!
The flooding isn't great, but mannn that property is such a gem. Thank you for showing us this.

You guys need to build that engine up. They make 190cc stroker big bore kits for those.
GY6 one of the most reliable engines in the world...I have one...been running for 8 years flawlessly
Please do more GY6 stuff!! It's so gnarly how much weight a 150cc engine can push, and I'd love to see you guys trick more stuff out.
You should try riding a GY6 150cc scooter that's not much bigger than a 50cc, mine absolutely rips!
