You need to do a video or two on the guy you bought it from dude!! He as some stories but I bet he has some skills too! He had a hell of a shop! Basically that’s you in 60 yrs!!!
Dude that is crazy, I have passed that trike every single day on my way to school for the past 4 years. I can't believe you found it lol. I live in that town
That old man won't be happy to see this bro but yes he forgot that he gave it to a young guy who can handle more power and take it to another level...looking cool
That old man, you could sit there and talk with for hours, bet he had some cool stories and really old parts/tools laying around his workshop that you never even seen before.
That old man is pure gold. Id sit there with a beer and listen to him all day and look around at all his collection. That trike gonna be sick when you done with it. Keep the vids coming bud
My thoughts also, I was Moore interested in the ol man and his 102 year old mill and what ever else of old relics he had buried under all that stuff because you gotta know there’s a story behind each and every treasure! Lol 😂
Remember those old guys have a lots of experience and most love to help give a hand on projects. Br respectful and you will be surprised at what you may learn.
You found a Gold Mine when you found that old man ..Stop just to visit with him once in awhile and you may get him to sell more stuff you like and he might help you make a part with that milling machine
@@brandonl7396 I am an Old Guy..It is a shame that I live in a small town and the younger generation has no interest in mechanical stuff any more or want to learn how to build their own go-kart or repair and customize bicycles and stuff ..I have the tools and knowledge to build some cool stuff
Vasily, just meeting that old machinist was probably worth the price; as you proceed into your fabrication skills, machine work will become more and more important. This man knows things that haven't been re imagined in our very IT world. He also knows a bunch about how to work around a problem to solve the bigger issues. You have made a friend, one you would do well to know for as long as he lives. IMHO; you have the future in your hands, but the future often needs the past to become successful. BTW, in it's passing, the trike you started with inspired you to do something better- you are already being inspired by the past, and doing better today!
@@benbaribault424 Vasily makes it easy- he is one very talented nugget in a forest of them in Chattanooga- and many of them are first and second generation Ukrainians. I see nothing but good from this awesome pool of talented and hard working people.
I've passed by that guys shop a thousand times. Always seen that trike sitting on the side of the road in a metal pile. Never thought I'd watch a video of someone getting it and doing something with it haha
You need to do a video or two on the guy you bought it from dude!! E as some stories but I bet he has some skills too! He had a hell of a shop! Basically that’s you in 60 yrs!!!
I feel like one of the great treasures in life is finding people like that older gentleman. It's almost a guarantee that he has hours upon hours of stories and is a wealth of experience and knowledge. I'd say to stop by and talk with him every once in a while, he may be able to teach some things and above all, he might just appreciate it too at his age.
Hey! Using a jet ski engine! I got a 1996 seadoo gti and I have been working on fixing it! I still haven't gotten the engine to work yet. This is super cool!
Vasily, I would find a dual carb setup from a 787 or 720 seadoo engine WITH the intake runner. These Rotax engines have rotary valves in the intake which act like a reed valve and require lubrication from the oil system, if you delete the oil injection you will have to mantain oil within the rotary valve cavity and if it runs dry you will blow the motor up. Dual carbs from another seadoo motor will really open up the 580 and you can maintain the stock oil system by just adding an auxiliary oil tank from a jetski, fairly available and cheap online. Also you will have to modify the exhaust pipe and water routing to run a closed loop cooling system on this motor since they utilize water injection into the exhaust to keep it cold and not melt rubber hoses. You will also need to source a water pump since these motors do not have an integrated water pump like snowmobile motors. They utilize the jet pump to pump water from the body of water into the motor. Lot of work to get this right and not blow the motor in the process. You will also have to source a seadoo ECM which can be pricey since you will also need a matched Dess key
@@johnfasanoii4382 glad I made you laugh brotha, this is a VERY important lesson learned ALWAYS START FRESH, NEVER buy someone else's project=aka headaches!! He did the right thing 😁✊🔥
We finally have some competition in the high horse power 2 stroke drift trike world! Looking forward to seeing this thing rip Vasily! We just finished building triple pipes for our 600cc Polaris XLT trike.
Hey man, that 587cc engine was the hot shit in the 80’s! You gotta remember, the stand up actual “Jet Skis” are very small and weigh a couple hundred pounds. Everything is fast now, right off the showroom floor. There’s dudes with 1000hp skis now, which is fng ridiculous.
Glad you decided to cut it up, I’m sure others out are pissed but who cares. You did the right thing because to be honest that thing looked unsafe to begin with, the last thing you need is to get injured again and we both know you don’t want that. Ride safe and I’ll catch you on the next one.
If I remember the seadoo rotax motors have a rotary setup on the oil injection. You can’t just delete the oil pump like normal 2 strokes. They make a kit that can delete it and still keep the rotary valve lubricated. Otherwise the crank will lock up. Just my 2 cents. Great video.
Couple of small points your better off leaving the carb and oil injection since the rotary valve has oil in it, You will need to maintain that Oil or you will kill the rotary valve and shaft. Second you need to inject water into the exhaust pipe to make it work, so unless your planning on changing the pipe or having water injected to the stinger you might have some issues melting the exhaust pipe
That was a pretty neat looking trike,at it's start,but it needed at least 25Hp and was narrow enough that above 50Mph would've been EEEEKKkkkkk when a dip in the road.LoL.At least your pants stayed dry,and you're going to do another awesome creation.Rock on Vasily.
Damn dude, I knew that thing was on the Butcher Block once you started at it with the plasma. It was a great Pee-wee Herman Style three- wheeler. The whole rear end of that thing came out of a small lawn tractor with the open diff.
Just a heads up dude those old ROTAX engine use a centre drive to spin the rotary valve!! You have to keep an oil tank just for the drive if you go to premix other wise you’ll have big issues my friend! Make sure that rotary valve has no scores or scuffs in it, if it does it would seal properly and you’ll find it lol be dogy
Definitely kinda sad watching you buy the trike basically for the forks but you definitely made good memories along the way and that’s what matters. Don’t loose contact w the old man, if you get close to him he will be a weapon for your channel lol
Just use the stock mikuni carb. It will do the job. Do g worry about running water through the exhaust side. It’s done in skis so the thing doesn’t burn up. There might be a way to recirculate the water for the exhaust if you do want it cool to the touch. Look up the oil pump block off kit from a company like SBT. I don’t think your gonna need an E key to start it. I believe the style of ski with that engine use the push down style lanyard.
Hey man just a heads up, after deleting the oil injection, the rotary valve still needs oil to not burn up. You can run an external oil tank or fill it up with oil and connect the two lines together. But if the engine burns oil from leaky seals, you risk burning up the rotary valve. An external oil tank is the way to go
Definitely keep the engine in front of the axle. For drifting, an engine behind the axle will make for unpredictable handling. When all the weight is between the tires, like on your build, it makes it handle very well. I might even suggest moving the rear axle back a few inches for more stability while being sideways
I would consider doing this but my main concern is burning a piston. The engines are water cooled with constantly cool lake water and even then you will sometimes burn up the piston that receives the water 2nd. If you make it a closed system and you start running 200* water through there, I'm concerned it will get too hot. It'll take major rejetting at least.
Lol! This whip is hilarious. This thing is so far away from your usual builds. Alas, once you are finished with this, you'll make a beast out of this. Glad you are going with a solid axle?
Ok, enough already my jealousy is starting to bother me. Kidding, but not really. Lol Great job you are lucky in that it took me many years to get focused enough to know what I wanted to do with my life. You are going to do great things, keep it up the sky is the limit.
Very COOL to see not just a 2 stroke of course, but one of the most overlooked engines available for usually the cost of removing an old eyesore from a yard! Lol, Well around the coast and lakes area's anyways, for all the desert dweller's watching and thinking WTF is a jet ski? It's like a snowmobile in the south LMAO! A dime a dozen up north and way under utilized in the go kart builds! For the package size, weight to HP ratios, these 2 strokes weather liquid cooled or air are the best bang for the HP buck! Something to be said for a engine that's self contained, small, light weight, able to take a beating and produce dumb numbers of HP for usually under $200 weather its a sled or ski. Can't wait to see your creativity come to life with this unique project man! Good luck and be safe! 3 wheels and almost 60hp could end up with a trip to the ER lol!!!😉
hopefully you have fun with it, though i think the drag trike look would of been awesome if you just swapped the old axel for the live one making it say a few inches wider to make it more stable.. shit youd been flying with that down a drag strip. But thats just me. lol
Hey my friend great video and I am building a cooling system for a 750 c.c 2 stroke jet ski motor.. My question is why don't you see if that man you got the frame from would let you do a video on that 102 year old milling machine ?? Would he sale it is my next question?
I’d keep that oil injection system get yourself a tank from a Seadoo 2stroke Connect that line that had the filter on it to the bottom of the tank . It will be much easier on filling up and it will take the guess work out of the equation
AWESOME.... That rotary valve gear you can fill it with 20 w50 syn.. an plug both holes leave a little room 4 exp.. That's how i DID MY ROTOX 712. 787. G L......
