i we be complete when you put a role cage on it and a seat belt.
Sync the carbs
When I find wet electronics. I don't attempt to run it until it is completely dry for fear of the moisture burning it out, so I put it in a dry place for probably 48 hours, depending on humidity, then try it.
Kevin, please tell Phoenix I’ll give him $150 for it next week. Lol
This looks like somebody had an engine, an idea, and one too many beers. And we love it
Totally awsome. Lol
and a boosted girl idea
You nailed it man 100% and that's funny
Just wrap it all up with duct tape and you got yourself a wiring harness.
That’s all you need just have a few too many grab some tools build something then walk into your garage the next day and be like well when how the hell did I do that
Cool. That engine is from an CBR600 F1 Hurricane. I colorized the wiring diagram at 5:58 many years ago. Glad to see it is still making its rounds!
Right on!
@connorneillly6822 Where do you find these types of diagrams? Is there a website or schematics lookup I could go to? Get back to me if you can, thanks.
So many car shows/YTchannels gloss over these details and give DIY people like myself the impression I can LS swap anything in an afternoon. Thank you for keeping it real and showing how it is really done.
I'm a retired Honda motorcycle mechanic. Your ignition hack is bloody brilliant. I've seen those little black boxes go for $300 with no warranty.
So what do mechanics like to do for fun???
"Do alot of dumb shit for cheap and build death traps......."
You had me at death traps...
Lmfao it's just soo true!!!
You had me at dumb shit
I can confirm that this is 107% true
you had me at "do alot" lol
You dont understand what you just did for my brain right here with the spark. I wish I had half your knowledge of understanding ignition. I understand it but the way you interpret it I understand so much clearer. This was an amazing educational video for me. The things we can do with knowledge is endless. I have always been able to make shit work that doesnt belong together. As a young teen I made things out of other things. Took apart toys to create my own. This kinda sums it up just way more in depth. I really appreciate you sharing this knowledge with us. I will always retain it and some day be able to fix my own crotch rocket golf cart lol. Just love your wiring videos. I LOVE WIRING!!
Sounds like how I grew up!
@@JunkyardDigs hope to meet ya sometime! Were in indiana !
It takes all kinds. SOMEONE has to do autopsies. Someone has to do proctology. And someone has to do wiring!
Damn boi you should have learned electronics! I mean i wasnt technical at all only destroyed shit back in the days to see how it was made but never could fix it. I went to study electronics and understand a shitload more now even on engines since they are "mostly" ruled by electronics or pulses.
The rest i learned here. Like i never knew how carburateurs work but damn hes a good teacher
Dude same here junkyard digs just upgraded my brain
Loved watching the whole process of diagnosis. You guys genuinely had fun with garbage, that's the best kind of fun. Phoenix was a good fit too, you guys work well together.
Wow! Kevin, totally impressed by your electronic prowess. The way you deciphered that schematic and substituted auto parts to get it going is why I’m a subscriber. Keep the videos coming!
4:35 the look on Pheonix's face when that water went flying is priceless
Wonder what woulda happened if Mook woulda been in the line of fire?
@@billyhill2488 nothing good for anyone's health.
I would genuinely love to see a part two of this with a working shifter and a slightly less sketchy seat
I thought the seat was awesome.
Seat's fine.
That thing definitely needs a cage and a harness
Cannnn do
New front tyres would help too, it's got alot of understeer
You guys clearly explained how to Jerry rig, eventually fixing things right, that I've ever seen.
Kudos.
If you could only see the creatures I've built with what I have laying around.ive used the Chevy HEI modual trick on many things.
You should see my 23.5 hp Stroked Kohler on my 1980s John Deere utility vehicle.
This build reminds me of it a lot.
Looks like something straight out of Garry's Mod, love it!
"He's gonna die. Lets get out there so we can film it."
Spoken like a true bush mechanic :D
Lol
It's an important sentiment that we often forget in the moment. Lol
*Busch mechanic
Ok l
I’m so happy 😀 done with work, having a beer and ribs, and now a new video from Kevin!
That fire joke really says a lot about your friendship. Not many people I wouldn't have smacked silly for doin that
As well engineered as it is delightful to behold.
So, not very?! Lol🤣🤣
Award winning reply
5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
That WILL not run right without some restriction on the carbs. Put a factory airbox or make one with a filter element. Even pod filters are touchy without a rejet. Airbox and it will be night and day on power.
I hope he gets this thing going at its max, it'd be so fun to see him ride around in
We're intending to, just don't have one yet
Also depending on the yr it should have a pulse pump as well. My bike has one in the tank.
@@JunkyardDigs How a bout you do a build and make a car with a big cc bike engine in it?
@@jackinthegreen1000 Jus t search "hayabusa smart car" on youtube. Plenty of that content already available.
Y’all crack me up I love it. Being from Iowa it’s awesome to see you guys doing your thing and loving it. Keep being awesome
I'm actually in trade school for mechanics right now, and I just learned about schematics a week or so ago. Found your bit about them and the demonstration pretty helpful in more fully understanding the electronics diagnosis. Thank you ^_^
Have been loving all your vids and really appreciate when you give your technical advice on how to diagnose things in the car. They have helped me to get my own 66 Buick Wildcat running.
Oh hell yeah I have one of those! love that 401 nailhead
I almost died 🤣 when that compressor came on and Kevin was fidleling with that solenoid. Hahaha
Golf cart ✔
Sport bike engine ✔
Lunatic ✔
Shifter...on order
Hold my beer watch this...
I normally skip to the built product for these videos, but watching you guys diagnose it and figure through it was so dope, and funny shit too 😂 amazing video, definitely subbed
You guys have a great dynamic. Very entertaining episode! Thanks
Motorcycles have their ignition advance curves controlled by circuitry in the igniter unit. Using car ignition units, which are just basic electronic switches, you will get it to run, but it won't have any ignition advance. Also CV carbs don't work properly without a large reservoir of still air. Get a proper motorcycle ignition unit and an airbox and that thing will really fly. At the moment it's probably only making half the power it should.
The ignition advance was what I was screaming at the phone...I was hoping they would hear me . 😆
the lid for the airbox was what i was yelling at my computer. those carbs can't be run open top, they won't flow properly
Generally we're well aware, just hopelessly unprepared
I SAY A ROLL CAGE WOULD BE AN ADD-ON, TOO! LOVE IT! YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY FUN! KEEP 'EM COMING.
That's weight, weight costs speed, screw it cage costs money, and what isn't a little risk.
maybe even just a tall pole in the middle with some supports not as heavy but its something
Last year my buddies and I swapped a snowmachine motor into a little go kart. We said we were gonna put a roll cage on it after we got it up to 70mph on the icy roads in mid March. Year latter we still have just two pipes sticking up like smoke stacks. But we did get a harness bar between them and a 5 point.
Awesome project and video . Can't wait to see more of it .
Great video! Overall a great teaching experience video for ppl to learn how to properly diagnose their small motor engines (toy or vehicles). two thumbs up!
You are INSANE! But we love you for it! Also... beyond proud to see that little AMC Eagle still toting you around and going strong!
Pick up a Holley adjustable fuel pressure regulator that’s capable 1 - 5 psi. And add some air filters. Maybe some knock-off K&N filters.
Almost anything as long as it reduces the amount of air going in those carbs. Then either add a few teeth bigger rear sprocket or drop a tooth or two in the front. That thing should come alive and be a little more terrifying.
That restrictor alone cost more than the whole machine!
@@JunkyardDigs What if you fabricobbled some PVC together to make an intake runner and throw a cheap filter on it?
4 nerf balls oiled and stuffed into the stacks, filter done
Yeh, they never run right without a proper airbox or individual air cleaner setup, I always bump up the main jet if I run individual air cleaners.
I'm almost wondering if they might have had it in second gear. I dont know much about bikes, but I know some of them you have to go below neutral to get first. Who knows though, they might know that, and indeed had it in first. Just throwin ideas.
That was AMAZING!!! I was trying to learn multi-meter and my voltage regulator was rusted?, my gauge was fluctuating wildly and I wasted my harness, I'm 65 and learning thanks to guys like you, LOVE IT!!!
Thanks to GM simplifying their external engine components back in the 1980's through 90's us DIY's have been able to rig up or repair lots of items like lawn and garden tractors. The GM 'one wire' alternator is a great item for making a full 12 volt electrical system on a Craftsman lawn tractor. Actually any lawn or garden tractor of the type with belt drive transaxel. I mounted one upside-down under the gas tank and seat. The tractor was a hydro-drive so the belt is always turning and on hydro-drives you basically never need the clutch to stop, go forward or reverse. You use the motion control lever for that. I had enough room under the hood to install a full size car battery. Installed 55 watt halogen headlights and a couple orange LED marker lights for parking lights up front. Rear I used some common rectangular red marker lights that have the chrome plastic trim. Ironically the original decals which were reflectors that are factory stock on the Craftsman tractors back in the 80's are the same dimensions as the marker lights I installed. The recessed area in the body sheet metal allowed a perfect fit. My friend seen me coming down a dirt road trail one night and he thought it was a Jeep off roading ! I put a set of red markers on my trailer for also. I used the same mounts that the alternator had to mount it to an engine. I found another hydro-drive pulley and mounted it upside down on top of the original with a separate belt from there to the alternator. That gave me the same speed for the alternator as it would have on a car engine which is generally 2 times the crankshaft speed. Never had dead battery issues starting my tractor and have used it to jump other vehicles including my friends semi-truck! Love these videos! I should post some of my dumbshit stuff that actually works, like filling your back wheels with water and adding barbell weights for wheel weights along with snow tire chains ! Might sound stupid but on hard packed roads here in California that have decomposed granite (DG) the chains and weight bite in and give an incredible amount of traction. So much traction that you can actually move dirt around the yard with the dozer blade attachment. That GM module can be used with many small gas engines to fire a coil, including a high performance automobile coil ! Pretty cool 😎 👌
29:06 damn! still laaaaaaughing! LMAOOOO "Do it in phoenix's shop" 🤣
anywhere but your own home !
@@bazwillrun What the heck is happening with those spam comments. Makes me laugh even more. Ridiculous.. 😂
That muffler. I always have random things that I've found somewhere and can't throw away, and then one day they come in handy.
It's what we always tell ourselves, but that was someone else's. How come we never need the junk we keep around?! :P
Very cool. Brings back memories. Most tricks I learned about getting engines to run were done trying to get crappy old engines running to tear up and down fields. So much fun.
What a blast. Cool build
@22:30 first start. Hey man, the fact that your knowledge got it running, doesn't make it random. GOOD JOB! I wouldn't have thought of just swapping in some HEI's.
Quick tip, if you want to dry an electronic board, soak it in isopropyl alcohol. (or 70% alcohol, it's better than nothing)
No need for that. The board is coated.
Well done on getting this thing running! And I really hope you don’t stop there! I would love to see you get this thing right it has potential. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Thanks for sharing!👍🏼🤩🫡❤️
Very entertaing totally enjoyed the share - thank you.
Definitely got to see more of this crazy go ⛳ cart
I hope the guy that sold it watches every single second of your revival.
So very happy you got an actual schematic.
I've commented on restoring electronics on many platforms. Formerly working for a company that had low volume very proprietary equipment and devices. I was the main restore guy. What it amounts to is using very sterile water, goves and mild brushes to remove as much corrosion as possible before rebuilding any actual bad links that might be present. A gallon of distilled water dish gloves and a soft toothbrush would have been the best choice to restore your circuit. Removing debris because that is the main culprit in short circuiting any electric equipment. compressed air to flush out anything lingering and a thorough drying will most often restore almost anything.
Alright, you've invented a single seat side by side. ha ha
I love to see you coble together junk and make it work. It really expresses the depth of your knowledge and skill. Very impressive. Thank you!
This was hilarious & awesome to see you guys get this rig running
Bloody love it guys, more of this stuff
@4:40 "watch the water fly" we sure did lol
NIGHTMARE wiring, water in the cylinders, sketchy frame stitching.
Brings me back to my childhood with a yamazuki my friend and I build.
Dont know if I'm in heaven or hell.
Yeah brother. We did the same thing. There wasn't a riding mower, tiller or snowblower that was safe when we were around. Everything became something to ride. Maybe not fast. But ride...
Yamazaki?
@@tvacc8702 should have been Yamazuki. Yamaha blaster body, Suzuki rm 250.
I had a hondasaki 3 wheeler
That was fun guys loved it
That was great , thanks for the laughs and the education.
I literally bought a wrecked 1987 cbr600 that was in a haybale, motor full of water, and last ran in 2008 for 200 bucks in the middle of a snow storm. i bought it for the yoshimaru exhaust system for my personally cbr600f1. My friend and i got it running with a home depot pvc intake we made with jb weld in one afternoon. Our plan is legit to make a trike with the motor since it runs so well lmao. These hondas you cannot kill!
They made outta aluminum? The block and pistons that is. Aluminum won't corrode and seize like steel would (unless you put the 2 together). Might be why they can get filled with water and not lock up.
For a minute there, I thought you were Cars and Cameras! 🤣
@@buckberthod5007 I’m 99.9% sure that the cylinder sides are steel, so it could’ve rusted
@@buckberthod5007 its all cast iron i think, the motor was locked up but nothing like a little used atf and working the crack back and forth cant fix.
@@EHoward64 ATF and diesel/kerosene in a 50/50 solution is the best thing I've ever found to unseize an engine.
Gravity fuel systems are deceptively sensitive. That tank needs to be closer to the carbs, and higher would be helpful. Make sure the tank is venting as well.
You guys put the biggest smile on my face, thanks really enjoy it!
The most dangerous fun I’ve ever seen!! Awesome guys 👍
Looks like something CarsandCameras would build.
That might be an insult 🤣🤣
Phenomenal, loved every second of this build, reminds me of stuff that cars and cameras would do, keep killing it digs.
Love that you guys went through the wiring to give some ideas on what to chase when fixing engines. Cheers
Awesome vid, thanks for the video!
Omg!! This is one of the most entertaining videos I’ve seen in a while. Great job!!
DAMN ! It's a "This shit should be illegal" video! I wish you would stretch the wheelbase and put the seat on the floor, in front of the engine. It would be much safer at 140 MPH. A roll cage perhaps, and even a helmet? LOL
Enjoyed watching this video! Loved to see the revival, ive bought a new refurbished golf cart from SWFL Golf Carts and I can't wait to use it.
you guys are my hero i love the idea of stuff like this
"He's gonna die. Let's get out there so we can film it!' -Kevin Brown's Famous Last Words, 2021
This is giving me so much motivation to start on the melding of a four wheeler and a 2001 ez-go golf cart. Big tires, 5 speed, all jank, all awesome.
First time watching these guys. As soon as the water hit the ceiling, instant subscribe!
What you did with that HEI set up was smart as hell man.
This reminds me of the time my neighbor got an old 3 wheel mail cart and a BMW motorcycle engine. We put that thing together and got it to run and it ran like a scalded dog. Now this was over a dirt farm lane and across the fields. We ran that thing for almost 4 seasons before the transmission failed on it.
Those HEI modules are awesome you can use them on the Ford duraspark and the Mopar electronic with 12-volt electronic coils
So need to see more on this beast, cant wait for the next instalment 😎
This is the stuff I struggle with, electric diagrams!! Iv built many engines at a few machine shops over the years but this stuff is the mind-boggler for me. In this LS1 age it's time to learn and channels like this are what a brotha needs👍 But at the moment I'm building a 1986 honda 250R that sat for 15 years. All I had to do was rebuild the carb and it runs so awesome. Time for tires and brakes and worry about looks later. I wish I had the same, on camera experience you all offer or I'd be on UA-cam. Great build guys!! Mopar guy but where we are at Honda guy till I die!!
Just imagine how crazy it will be when you can shift to a higher gear.
That is awesome work - amazing resurrection - would love to see you guys make a real vehicle out of that flying death seat! All around great video and pretty awesome (potential) vehicle! 👍
Great video thanks
That was the best explanation of how to look at wiring diagrams I have ever heard. Thank you .
Those philips screws aren't philips screws they're JIS screws. Slightly different shape and you can round them out with a philips screwdriver. But you can take them out if you're careful with a philips. Also I'd be careful with torch cleaners that you don't open up the jets unintentionally and cause running issues. An airbox is also a thing motorcycles don't like to run without unless you jet them up to run richer even with the likes of cone filters.
Absolutely awesome, love this build. I really hope you guys add a radiator. The cooling system on these bikes is tiny, like 3 quarts. It needs the volume, and the appropriate amount of pressure to keep from overheating. Not that your worried about longevity, lol.
I'm excited to see the next installment!
They got it running someone else did the building for the most part
That was awesome guys goes to show you can build anything out of junk I loved it
awesome work boys!
If the local courses had carts like this, i might actually take up the game.
How many others jumped 35 min into it (not me) I've seen and built some death traps before but that one is tops.
@Jenita Davis Bot are you following me around or is there 86 of you. I want my two dollars!
I did 😂
Wow, Kevin, you're doing awesome. Haven't been on your channel in less than a year. And you've got a million you go. Good for you.
Circle track action right there! Turn left... turn left. That's awesome.
Hi everyone that looks at this. That means your a true fan
Hell yea 😎
You’re*
Thank you Amogus
Amog sus
Dont like the online sponsorship,your not the only ones...but we all know what its like...i just fast fwrd...but it spoils it for me as your now commercial.
Still respect from Dave in the UK 🇬🇧
or just buy a JIS #2 Phillips. Thats the right screw driver for the carbs as well as the master cylinder coffin boxes for the brakes
I came here to say this.
That was fun to watch Thank you
That! Was Awesome. Do more pls.
My shop foreman would light himself on fire with the welder at least twice a week.. didn't believe in washing his shop coveralls but once a month so they were quite volatile (and smelly)
Wife just found out it wasn't driving by midnight, might have to sell it...
Send it Briggs!
Awesome fun great bills guys
I just love it man and I always learn something new ☺️💞🤙 thanks for the awesome videos, watch ever min of them
Finally a golf cart! Let’s go BRANDON!
Love your content. Great work.
Good deal 👍 Thanks for the entertainment!
That was awesome!!
I really enjoyed watching this!
Memorize all the good Rodney Dangerfield lines from Caddyshack, and take it to the golf course. If that doesn't sound like a really good idea, just add beer.
My brother used to do that with the paper towel or rag when I was welding. 😂
“Why do you always weld near rags with flammable liquid on them?!” …he like to say 😅.
My favorite quote in this vid ‘if you put the time & effort into making it perfect you lose ambition”. So very true! Took me forever to figure that out. Get it woikin then chip away at the details later(or aka never, maybe 😅).
That’s awesome!!! HEI modules for the win!
This might be my favorite build ever. So funny!!!
Frankenstein lives again.
Y'all had me glued to the screen the entire time. I loved all the jokes and the build process (if you can call it that)🤣, awesome video. Keep em coming.
Love it! I want a go at it!
