My dad got this thing for $50 bucks and asked me if I wanted to fix it up.The goal was to restore the go kart for as cheap as possible using supplies we had on hand in the shop if possible. I ended up having to buy a couple things that were broken, but overall I think I achieved the goal. Paint job is 100% Rust-Oleum. Even after all this work, the thing is still a deathtrap with scary handling at top speed. Stay tuned for a video on what went into restoring the engine. I found something pretty interesting when I tore it apart... The video on the kart itself was long enough that I didn't want to include everything with the engine and end up with a 1 hour + video.

My neighbors was a 4 hp and I think it did about 35 mph. I wonder if this is geared to go faster or accelerate faster. The brake was metal flaps on a shaft that rubbed against the rear tires no brakes on the front. I remember in the dirt it was almost like no brakes at all. Really brings back cool memories.

I literally just got one of this same style at 35 years old 😂 I always wanted one but was too poor to afford a new one or just to build one. I received mine two days ago for helping someone clean up their basement. He was going to give me 40 dollars for payment until he said he was getting rid of his go kart because he doesn’t have the time to restore it so I said I’d take it instead of the 40 dollars which he still gave me along with the 40 bucks because it was a lot of work I had did. I’m truly grateful because I’m actually living back home with my Mother and am out of work with no money. If you have your own company I’m a hard worker and I believe I’d be a positive asset to you and your company. My apologies for going off topic but I just need a job bud

When I was a kid my next door friends had two of these. So me and my father built one. It was a six hp, two wheel drive, monster built out of bed frame angle iron, parts from a corn hopper and a lawn tractor we had salvaged from a barn fire. The looks on there faces when I roared out of the barnyard to meet them as they drove by I will remember till the day I die.

Interesting resto. Just curious; is the inside of the fuel tank the color of rust on purpose (45:36)? What will prevent dirt and water from getting into to foam cushion at the underside between the cushion and frame? Possibly use zip-ties rather than tape to keep wires in place.The tape will fail quickly in a hot, dusty environment.

I though about adding a bearing for the steering but couldn't think of a good way to do it and this go kart didn't deserve it. Also the engine video is coming soon

When you added a wheel spacer to make more clearance for the clutch, shouldn't you have done it to both sides, for balance?

My grandpa built me my first go kart out of an old lawn tractor frame. He cut and welded and put a Briggs 5HP motor from a tiller. It looked very much like this thing. Bareboned with nothing extra. I must have put 100,000 miles on that thing! (that's what it felt like) He made me fix it when I broke it so I could learn. The brake was from a bicycle and simply put friction on the drive shaft. I had to change the rubber pads once a week. Every bike I could find was stipped of parts. Great memories and it taught me a ton about how things worked.

I'm building one the same way from the frame and rear axle of an ancient riding mower I found at the dump. I can't weld and don't have a welder, so I have to bolt everything together. It's EXTREMELY janky, rusty, and ugly, but I have ZERO dollars in it! All garbage dump parts. It'll just have a friction brake on the rear tires, and I expect it to do maybe 15mph in the yard 😂.
