This channel is unique compared to the rest, I (Karsten an idiot) work on projects, go to the lake, go to the dunes, and bring you on all of our adventures.
Batteries don't go bad unless you treat them poorly, usually. In your case I might guess it's a battery charge controler issue. Meaning each battery chemistry likes to be charged differently, and perhaps you are not using the appropriate charger for the battery chemistry. The other thing it could be is your controler for the battery on your project itself. If that BMS, battery management system isn't aware of what battery is hooked up to it (chemistry type) it may discharge your battery all the way to zero, which for some batterys is not good, and will make the battery die rather fast. This is why, for example, most people with lithium ion don't discharge down past 20%, it can be done, but at risk to the battery, also charged up to full, vs 80%. There's an awful lot to learn, but your young and doing great, do a little more research on this topic and I'm sure youll find your answer to your dying batteries. 👍
Great video! Quick question: What should I do with the fuel vapor line and the valve hose that connects to the crankcase after removing the airbox? Do you recommend leaving those hoses dangling, or should they be rerouted or fitted with filters?
Great job young man. I wish more kids were as motivated to work on mechanical things like you! Keep it up and one day you'll be racing in a car your built, or a bike you desiged.
sick video bro that go kart is so sick! why do you think the 224 at the beginning was surging? i mean sure it was warming up but they shouldn’t be doing that at idle
Nice video I was laughing the whole time it’s impressive that the motor still runs decently with an epoxy piston which is absurd and I think it’s a 98cc motor but still pretty sick
Hey bro looks like fun have you seen C90 Adventures where he takes his mini jeep across lake Powell it’s honestly hilarious and I think it would be a series youd like
Did you put a exhaust manifold to head pipe gasket?looks like you just put liquid gasket on it. you need to use that gasket or you are gonna fry another motor.
Hook up a flush fitting to the cylinder head and run it on the hose and get your cooling hoses figured out before taking it to the lake and siezing the engine. Remember engine on then tirn on the water. Water off then stop the engine. Haveca shutoff close to the flysh futting so you can stop the water if the engine stalls. Don't crank the hose up either.
That's why you need a cutaway side cover, so you can check clearance and see into the engine. You need to take an old side cover and cut it so you can see into the engine while it holds the crank and camshaft into place.
The exhaust gasket is supposed to cover the water jackets in the manifold/to the B-pipe. You used 5200 and left those water jackets open. They need to be blocked by gasket. Or it wont cool. I read in the comments that you figured out. What was it???!
@@KardogGarage Did you end up using a proper gasket on the head pipe? Where you used 5200... Those jackets need to be blocked off. So the water backfills the head and then out the pipe and pisser. I have 10 of those motors. lol
