It's always amazing how fast 30mph feels when your 4 inches from the ground.

I hope his Kid gets a chance to ride it, He was having too much fun!!☺

I had this exact frame, motor, and setup as this go cart when I was young. This brought back a lot of good memories. Glad you were able to get it going.

it's great to get older and wiser but never grow up

One of the best channels out here for amateur mechanics/engineers. Mustie1 puts things in a very easy straightforward and friendly way.

Dingo cart part 2 - Stretching the frame and making a VW engine fit.....

Fixing up an old go cart and driving it with friends = all kinds of awesome. :) Hooning round your neighbors yard in it and chewing up his grass = priceless !! :) :)

The chickens are impressed ! Best entertainment they had in weeks. I don't know what yard / garage sales you go to , but please take me with you next time you go. I would buy fifty karts like that for fifty dollars each. LOL . Checking for sales to hit tomorrow as soon as I finish this post. As always another great video mustie .

I have 3 dingos with the 301 predators. Thet are so much fun. Good to see another one come to life. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the noise alerts! It's nice not waking up the entire house while I watch after hours.

that kart is a legend. Cant seem to stop modifying mine lol.

That was my ultimate dream as a kid. I found out as an adult my father totally could have bought me one but he told us we were poor. In reality he could have bought a few hundred of them for me and all the kids at school. Thats way faster then I thought I thought it was going to like the riding lawn mower they got stuck in mud.

I love finding your old KZfaq videos and watching them super inertaning

Thought Brian was going to take out that little tree, or two, those little carts are just to much fun! Heavier base plate, then a much BIGGER MOTOR! More power=more fun!

Who said "we gotta grow up?".. too much fun. Keep it up. Love the channel!!!

It went to a great home! You had to be smiling from ear to ear! His camera got a little off kilter but was fun to watch. You've got to get him to make you a video of his son's surprise and ride!

I had a 1993 Manco Dingo Off-road Buggy 8hp Brigg's Stratton 305cc With the Emergency Brake she was a blast I rode it Spring Summer Fall and Winter She went anywhere a Quad could go and places they couldn't go lol

Friend had one like it. Replaced the motor with an old snowmobile motor.. It was scary fast. Cool video man!

i just started buying and selling small motor equipment! so glad i found your channel !

Looks you guys having a good time. .. Brian makes that thing fly...

Fun little thing, reminds me of the ones I got to drive in the mid 90s in Cornwall, except theirs were fitted with a rollcage and wide "supervision seats" for the much younger drivers... :P

Like I was told when I did my first wield, grinder and paint makes me the wielded I ain't! 😂😂😂 All the same like what your doing. Helps me remember the stuff I sometimes forget!

mustie, awesome vid. quick weld and repair job! even a great ride on that. love it!!!! :) enjoyed this vid so much. can't wait to see next vid you upload! :)

Bought my Dingo from OTASCO and rode it into the ground! Love that go cart!

Some people have all the fun ! thx for posting

Looks like fun!!! Man you guys have huge lots up there.

i had a small dune buggy with a 13hp powerfist engine and a custom made torque converter, it was fast af!!!

That is my favorite kart right there, the manco 285 dingo, with just a predator 212 engine swap(governor removed) I had mine going over 40mph, a jet, intake and header it went 51mph

Cool Dingo needs bigger motor and somebody could use a truck lol thanks for the ride..

Hello Mustie what temp did you lower that too just curious I have the same welder that was fun ride now who flipped latter on after the video?! , thanks. : P

Here is a tip for you. If you take a cut off wheel of the appropriate diameter and mount it under your 3" roloc just by locking the roloc onto its backing plate normally you can create an edge grinding roloc. works best with the 3" roloc.with the rubber backing plate (the most common. It makes the backing plate a little more rigid but it allows edge grinding like you did in the beginning of this video and makes the backing pad last much longer. Great for grinding welds in hard to reach locations

That just looks like a heap of fun :-D, i can see you both loved that :-D. There is a fault with your weld, gotta plate the unbroken side too LOL :-D.

have a Dingo in storage had it as a kid hasnt been started in 20 years was allot of fun when it ran

i have 2 of those Manco Dingo Go Karts both built beyond belief and they both broke in the same exact spot on the motor mount plate. yours is probably the 10th one i have seen broken in that exact spot the exact same way

I hope I don't see a "I am on the couch for a month" video after this! hahaha... I have been wanting one of them for a long time and this have convinced me... I need one!

the welder in me shuts my eyes when you start your arc lol

hi mustie, love the videos get it running,

You read my mind when you said you were going to utilize those predrilled holes in your brace for plug welds , I was about to leave a comment saying you shoulda done so then I heard you say it no more than 30 seconds later lol.

Damn it one I haven’t seen yet man you know how to have fun!!!!!

Looks like it will be a whole lot of fun!

That chicken was laughing at you both ;-) lol..

One day I'll have me a go kart... the chickens didn't seem fazed by it either lol

Wow that looks like fun keep up the good work!! Kick ass brother at least awesome fun ride

Quality find, those kids will remember it forever.

*Pretty fast as far as yard sale Dingo"s go. 7/10 would ride again.*

sweet bug in the garage, and double cab in the back yard! haha

i know the feeling!!....glad to see it's up & running!....i'm happy w/riding my lil scooters around the neighborhood...lol...everybody thinks i'm crazy...lol....i can just imagine his kids/grandkids in the house asking him, dad you get to have all the fun, when are you going to let us ride it??....lol

Back in the late sixties early seventies my brother and I had a few go-carts the motor to have then were the two stroke McColloughs 101's and 91's man we had so much fun seems like not many people that are younger ever heard of those motors they were designed I think for go-carts.God bless my dad for always taking the time for my brother and myself and making sure we always had fun.Everything about anything on wheels we learned form our dad it was passed down.

Perfect chance to replace the engine with a V-twin and really go places!

I'm suddenly thinking maybe I need to dig my kid's old kart out from under the barn this spring!

It's a lot quicker than I thought it would be. I think you need to get a Odyssey 350.

I would like to give you some help with your welding, since I am a retired boiler/ maker welder, if you are going to weld lets say two flat surfaces together to make the steel longer and depending on the thickness of the steel you can do 1 of 2 things. No1 for thin steel lets say 1/4'', grind a one side of the steel to form a V shape, leaving about an i/8 '' flat face surface, butt both ends use 2 G clamps one piece to clamp to the bench, align the other piece up use 2 G clamps to hold the other piece in place, then tack weld both sides, starting from the 1st tack that you done, weld from the outside in to about 1/2 way, then repeat same from the other side, by doing this method, you will get good welding penetration, no2 using the same two pieces of steel, repeat process as of no, but this time do a butt join, leave up to a 1/16'' gap, increase the amps just a tad to get a good tack then repeat welding process, but if you are doing a running welding repair in place like you done on the home built go cart you repaired for your mate, where the motor mount was, I noticed you removed the paint first to get a good weld, I have done that also on painted steel, I did notice that you just clamped the pieces of the flat bar to get a flat surface, then you tacked the top of it, when you removed the clamp, you tacked the bottom side then you proceeded to weld from the top down, here is a tip, tack the opposite side of the flat bar both top and bottom, using your grinder with the cutting disc, grind a small slot in the opposite side, increase the amps and the wire speed just a tad, starting from the bottom of the flat bar, weld upward using what is called the Christmas tree weld also known a s vertical up welding, to do this type of weld, start the weld off like you are going to do a tack, then do a side to side weld at the same time return to the centre of the weld then move up a tad, continue that process till you get to the opposite end, on the other side of the flat bar, repeat the same process, starting with the grooving out, then weld away, remember to seal off the top and bottom of the flat bar, by doing this sort of welding, there is no need to weld any extra plates for strength, trust me, your welding will improve greatly, Happy welding Sam Knudsen Adelaide, South Australia

9:17 I like your kinetic impulse persuasion, sometimes its the best method

We had one years ago great little cart but has the suspension of a wheelbarrow . Upgraded now to a hammer head twister .

I had one when I was a kid. I think it had a 5 hp Brigs and it was fun.

very similar to the old Honda Odyssey. great video

Lol i thought he was laughing but it was the chickens

This i a really good channel, love your Videos! Greetings from Germany

Too much fun. Guess I now see why you don't electrify the winch. You're helping Brian keep in shape so when he flips that thing he won't get hurt, right? Wishing I was there too!

Too much fun! Put some Armor All on the tires to make then squeal more.

I had one of these as a kid. They don't take jumps well. Put so ,many miles on that beast.

I had one of these when I was young got it brand new.

Those air sanders Are a must for any toolbox

They really do skimp out on the motor mounting systems on most go-karts. Most tweak or break over time. Wouldn't be a bad idea to weld a few strips of metal under the mount plate so it doesn't bend again.

Great job mustie ... Now when can we have a go? Lol

Holy crap that looks like fun.

I want a turn too!

Love your videos, keep them coming. Did you ever have a video of the double cab VW being finished up?

If you're running that thing off-road much at all, you're going to want to add a few more tacks to the belly pan. It took all of one weekend of running around in my buddy's field for both of his Dingo's pans to come loose. Also, as you predicting, he did flip one... 9 stitches in the forehead, no helmet. Dingos were gone 2 weeks later. If you're going to wear a helmet and risk injury may as well ride a quad.

Neighbors: It's that guy Mustie again.... You mean you don't have a complete suspension system somewhere in your shed you can add to this?

what would be the issue with when you hit gas pedal it barely wants to go but it will go when you push it or wait 30 seconds.

When I use to ride mine in the rough stuff i'd litterally hook my foot on the gas under the front bumper and my but could bounce a foot off the seet in the rough rooted trails and I kept it pinned the whole time. For a bit I had a friend that kept saying how the heck are you keeping it floored he keeps bouncing out the seat too but he did hook his foot lol. when he did see what I was doing he laughed and said inovative I guess. My own cruise control baby. edit: watching this video I dont think my 8hp was any faster, but I will say mine took off fast because with my light butt in the seat it spun or shirped a few inches maybe a foot on pavement. in the dirt it spun hard with me in the seat. I weighed 130ish pounds soaking wet. Look at my profile pic. was 18 or 19 then im 46 now. That was the day I picked it up was putting oil in it.

Wow looking @ this dingo brings back a lot of memories of the o e I had. My dad bought me one because he got tired of all the other kids having go karts and they were mean and wouldn't share so my dad did a fatherly gesture and got his son a dingo and I remember on Christmas morning I was tearing the roads up and low and behold they wanted to drive it yeah right my dad told me to tell them to kiss my ass. I'm 38 now and I was 15 when I got it. I'm buying my 6 y old son a coleman 100cc and I hope he remembers these moments in life

That back driven pully is on backwards

OMG that angle grinder sound sounded like dentists drill

What yr did they make these style dingo carts ? I have one what are they worth restored ?

Mustie1 just givin her.. bless ya real bad!

hi love your channel

I want this guy for my neighbour.... wicked channel

Do you think Brian's kids will be able to get him off of it long enough for them to ride it? lol

We just drug home an old Odyesse, needs a motor, the ones we have laying around are to small as in lawn mower and Rototiller motors

Nice...!!!!!. Now I'm dizzy...!!!. Say hello to the chickens.

That UV ray blinded me.

Already paid for itself in fun.

I got this Same cart just chillen with the roll cage still

Lily is awesome! You should show her more

hey i know this question has probably been asked a 1000 times but can anyone tell me who makes and where i can buy the bottles that mustie uses to squirt fuel down into the cylinder when testing small engines? thanks

there's an ad for hauling stuff in a CRV if I ever saw one :)

why is the band saw blade installed backwards?

Had the same exact one but it didnt run. I was young and didnt know anything about fixing engines like i do now if i knew i would of made it run... I wish i still had it

Dude about lost it when he went through his yard. Trying to show off lol

Nice video guys How you call that chassis ? Thanks

Those do about 40 mph out of the box. I got one new for a birthday when I was 10. I still have it but it needs a little bake and clutch work otherwise gtg.

I have same kart that needs a motor,what did you use and where did you get it if I may ask?Great video!

That looks like clucken good times!

Look forward to your vids now ugh lol 😂

U guys act like children......i love it!

Ha too much fun for old guys!

Well that looked like fun.

Much more fun than repairing lawn mowers.
