This is the follow up video to our popular "why you need to build a cheap drift trike" video, except with go karts! Everyone should buy a cheap go kart if they have any interest in competitive driving, wrenching, fabrication, or any other motorsports interests or ambitions. The cheap yard kart is the gateway to everything motorsports! Go kart parts are cheap, they're easy to learn on and modify, and you can build a fast go kart for cheap! It doesn't take much to make an old go kart go 50 MPH. In today's video, we put together this vintage Black Hawk go kart with a Tillotson 212cc engine, and it has CRAZY acceleration! The go kart originally came with twin 2 stroke engines, which had much shorter gearing (because two strokes typically rev much higher than the equivalent four stroke). Top speed however is around 25 mph. We'll fix that soon!
