Riding my go kart for the first time. I still have to hook up the brake and make a new steering arm as the old one is to thin and bent like butter. That will take about an hour to do, im going to make a handbrake instead of a foot brake as the foot brake didnt work out to well. My rear left tire was flat and i didnt notice until about halfway through the video i heard a funny sound and saw the back tire wobbling around on the rim. I stopped after that. I pumped all the tires up hard now so there good. Ill have a better video of it running fast 2morrow. Stay tuned.

This is part 3.5 of my “go-kart build” for the last couple weeks i wanted a little quad, since i already had a go-kart why not make the homemade go-kart into a quad? this will work out fine, i now will have a new trail Quad to rip around on and go mudding with! The Quad has a 6.5hp PowerFist engine.

A vid showing the rough build process of my honda powered go kart. Originally bought off ebay for £26 then added bits as and when bargains popped up on ebay/car boot sales etc. Total cost was about £150. Im not sure what the chassis is so if anyone recognises it please let me know. Enjoy
I also made the backing track to the video using an MC-505 groovebox

I just finished up with this homemade gokart with a harbor freight 2.5hp engine. We have a small backyard and my boys have never driven one before so I was trying to have it go around lawn mower speed. I’d say it probably goes 10mph when topped out. The governer is removed and it will wind out with me on it to over 4500 rpm (I have a tiny tach). I used a 12 tooth clutch and then took a spare jackshaft sprocket and welded it to a 40 tooth axle gear which is on the jackshaft. Then it goes to a 13 tooth sprocket and then to a 60 tooth. Frame is welded out of 1″ tubing from local hardware stores. It was very tricky because of the thin tubing and avoiding blowing through the metal with the welder. This engine is capable of much faster speed with different gearing however my family has a yard with some hills and the boys are cautious about putting the pedal to the metal so the low gearing works fine. It did take me several head scratches to figure out why the engine kept shutting down and then figured out it had a low oil cutoff that was triggered when I was cutting the corners. I actually built two karts in two weeks. First one was a 1.5 feet longer which was great for adults but even with the adjustable seat the boys were having a hard time pushing the gas all the way down.
