Reviving the Rat Rod Wagon! | Our Rat Rod Go Kart Build

Our Briggs and Stratton Rat Rod Wagon hasn't run since 2016, and it deserves better. We're making a few cosmetic changes to this rat rod build to make it look better, improve safety, and drivability. Should we build another rat rod go kart?

I had a 3 hp Briggs & Stratton that I built for a mini back a couple years back. Port and polished, shaved the head, lightened the flywheel, I even welded and did my own grind on the cam lobes, drilled the jet, and made my own little intake from a tuna can. Never got stiffer springs, but that thing would rev out and pull pretty hard and the lope at idle sounded so nice with a long tube header.

Hay CarsandCameras JNaasty here. I think a easy modification for you guys to do. Would be to put on front Tire fenders on and modifying the location of the brake and gas pedals on to the left and right tire covers. It also gives you a more adequate location for your feet by you being able to dig your heels into a set of pegs mounted on the wheel wells. For the rear back tire covers you can not only protect your pants from getting torn up. While at the same time you are giving your 6 a firm stable location to be planted in. Ps On a side note you know those shocks that come on the Mongoose dual suspension mountain bikes. The shock for the rear. Those would make excellent rear shocks for that Red Rider. I mean you would have to build a custom 4-link suspension to use it maybe A 5 link rear suspension might be better to use. But I know you can see it in your head just by reading this comment and thank we can do it & It Will Be Fine.

That 90 degree gear box would work nicely on the drag rail. 670 turned sideways with the exhaust sticking up on both sides, ram air scoop in the middle, driveshaft back to gear box and a nice short chain. Likely improve driveline efficiency and trap times. Looks like it has a fairly heavy splined input shaft so it should handle the power without any problem.

really hard with a flathead, I made a big muffler for a minibile out of some 3" tubing, a ton of stainless steel wool and some internal baffles. It was very quiet but the Brriggs was still noisey itself.

@keaganknapp2237 6 жыл бұрын

David Starr That would be the challenge, to make not only the muffler quiet but to some how quiet the engine noise too and maybe on a different new go-kart. I have a stock 212 on a homemade 12v generator and it is amazlingly quiet but most of the noise is from the engine, I can almost not hear the exhaust over the engine itself.
