  • This is it! First shakedown run of the Diesel Weasel Rat Rod Mini Mow Kart! This thing actually works! Took it for a rip up the street, testing the throttle, steering and brakes. I'm very pleased with the results!
    Hey folks- I see a lot of you good people are digging this test drive video, but many haven't noticed that The Weasel is complete! Check out the big reveal video- lots of action, and a FLAMETHROWER exhaust! See it here- • The Great Diesel Wease...

    Love the red rims and painted tires. When I seen the exhaust I thought it might be neat to have a small little "flapper" on the top. Great job. Nice machine!

    Having been a diesel mechanic in my younger years and a newly minted go-kart builder, I'm inspired to go with diesel with my next build. Thanks for the inspiration.

    after hearing my diesel chugging on my low speed mud mower for years, it's odd to hear a diesel engine on something that goes so fast. don't kid yourself! that thing is awesome!

    man i like it the way it is, and with the painted wheels and white letter tires. the mismatched colors on the panels is what makes it charming! if all you did was finish painting the rims and the white letters id say its a winner for sure!

    That thing is pretty cool Doc! It rolls coal like a beast! I wonder if you could get a lower engagement spring for the torque converter. It seems to engage a little high in the RPM range. Awesome build!

    • @DocSprocket
      @DocSprocket  7 років тому

      Thank you, I appreciate the props! I'm looking into tuning the CVT to engage at a lower RPM, just searching the interwebs for different springs and weights. Also looking into tuning the driven unit a bit, too.
