This week I tried converting a lawnmower for racing. It didn't quite go to plan. Building a racing lawnmower is, in theory, quite straight forward. However, in practice preparing an old rusty lawnmower for a 40 lap race has it's pitfalls.

@jameshague7111 5 лет назад

Hey Mike, I’m not sure if it is the same with your model but, often ride on lawn mowers have a switch under the seat which cuts the engine when you stand up. That may explain why the motor keeps cutting when you go over the bumps😁.

It was removed. Thats what thoes switches were he had to hold down. Parking brake safety and seat switch. But instead of cutting the wires and splicing them together he just duct taped the switches down which meant they kept shuting on and off. Which is why it kept shuting off.

@sammcewan9544 4 года назад

Just discovered your channel and have been inspired after binging countless videos tonight. ALTHOUGH when are you going to finish learning the backflip? I've seen many people train before and in terms of power and rotation ability you're above average. The only issue is technique. Watch any backflip tutorial and they'll all say the biggest factor is making sure you jump up high first with your chest up. If you watch back on your attempt you rotated wayyy to soon and never jumped up vertically. With correct technique you'll get it easy. Keep it up ;)

The sentiment at the end about the breakdowns, that holds true for most forms of amateur motor racing. You can race cheap lawnmowers, classic cars (minis, HQ holdens in Aus, etc.), budget friendly options like Excel cup we have here, formula Vee, karts, superkarts, bikes, production sports they all have reliability problems. If you ever spend time at a racetrack during a meet, just take a look around at how many people are frantically working on their machines. Then there are all the people who have no idea what to fix, those who couldn’t make it because they couldn’t get their car ready on time, those who leave early because they broke down. Yeah seems to me there are more people with mechanical problems that drivers who jump in and are ready to go.

@CazaVideos005 5 лет назад

Some advice: 1) PUT BRAKES! on a race braking is as important as power, you better enter a curve slow and exit it fast than enter it fast and never exit it. 2) It seems that the main problem is with the carburetor. Take it out and replace it with an ebay injection kit. Or with a carburetor designed for performance. If you want to keep your carburetor, yours must even have the governor still connected, if it does, remove it and please give the carburetor a good cleaning. 3) Upgrade the intake air filter and the remove the muffler of the exhaust and just strait pipe it. 4) By the smoke it produced at first i think it might have a broken ring in the piston or a broken seal. This will mean a massive loss of power. Check this with a mechanic. 5) Maybe the gears you chose are too small for the motor and that is why it stalls at low speeds or when you desaccelerate for a bump. I don’t know but maybe the flywheel is too light with the lack of the blades (that act like a flywheel), you might have to consider changing it to a bigger one. I hope it helps you.

Racing mowers here in North America are a little more advanced. Basically, they're mowers crossed with go-karts here. The top level mowers use V twin engines and many of them make more than 100hp. Lower level mowers use pretty much the same chassis usually, just with less power. They do all start as lawnmower chassis, but they get modified heavily.

@TysonCapel23 5 лет назад

To make the electrical symbol for a racing mower all you need to do is take out the key cylinder and replace it with a push button switch next you completely bypass all the safety switches by connecting the ground wire on the engine to a push button kill switch which of course allows you to cut the engine off. Lastly if the engine has a solenoid on the carburetor that requires power to the positive side of the battery in order to keep it open to allow fuel flow, you install a toggle switch which is put to the on position to start the mower and keep it on while the mower is running. There are several mowers which do not have the solenoid on the carburetor so you wouldn't even have to worry about that if yours doesn't. Hope this helps someone.

@marcellocamerani5646 5 лет назад

In order to stop stalling you have to work on the safety device under the seat. When you get a bump it detaches and turns off the engine. Fix this issue and your mower will never turn off again. Good work !

@usssmartdoofus516 4 года назад

You can achieve the same result by taking off the blade bit, and then swapping the front and rear pulley. Did it to my mower, and now it does 40mph with no money invested in a new fancy axel. I use it for going around town, as it gets ~65 mpg. Only problem is braking, as it has none. Relies soley on engine braking, which does work wonders if you shift into lower gears. With the pully swap removing much torque, you actually do have to shift through the gears though, you can't just drop it in 5 and dump the clutch like you could previously.

What ever happened to revisiting learning the backflip? I understand your fear. But you have taught me dedication and not giving up is the key to really learning and mastering a skill.

It’s super easy to make mowers go fast I’ve gotten a 1985 craftsman mower to go 34+ mph with my buddies with no upgrades except changing the pulleys and ripping the governor off. We wanted to make it go faster by making the rear pulley smaller and the front bigger but we’ve got the biggest front pulley we could get at the store and the steering is super sketchy so we didn’t make the rear smaller.

A 2 day build isn't going to be great, but you did a good job. My latest racing build took about 9 months of many evenings and weekends to build. And even then only finished 2 of the 5 races I entered (2hr endurance with Mower Madness in Dorset). But developed again the next winter and this year been going a lot faster and more reliable. Still not trouble free by a long way though.
