Rat rod style go kart build from scrap

So I wanted to take a break from Jumpy 2.0 and decided to take the scrap that was laying around and make a go kart. It turned out to be more challenging than I thought it would be, but it was fun. I love to troubleshoot and figure things out so this was a great opportunity to do that. It took a lot of creativity to make everything work only using the junk that was laying around here. I wasn't sure it would even work, in my head it did but I didn't know if the engine would have enough power or what would happen. I will probably add to it in the future but it will still only be using scrap. This is my 100% free scrap go kart.

I like this because I have most of the stuff laying around and I want to make a cart for the kids

@FireAndGasoline 7 лет назад

Thanks, i just wanted to show people you dont need a bunch of expensive parts to make things. Before all of this was put together it was just junk metal and parts laying around. All it takes is some creativity and effort to make it work. When you make something you can send pics to us on Facebook or Instagram we'd love to see it. Thanks for watching!

Its ok, glad to have you watching. We dont really make much $ from this so everything has to be low budget for now. Every one of my builds are under $250. so if you're handy you can still make cool shit cheap. As our channel grows so will our budget hopefully, and we can make much cooler shit.

@blaminations9805 6 лет назад

FireAndGasoline under 250? Give me your secrets cause me and my dad are going to build a go kart. We have a frame wheels and steering wheel, and we would like to keep it cheap. What engine did you use?

@FireAndGasoline 6 лет назад

killernuke, the engine on this one was off of an old pressure washer. I typically like to find non running engines and repair them. The harbor freight predator engines are also great engines and lost cost. I also like to buy things i know i will use later but are cheap now, a buyer of opportunity.

@wx2833 7 лет назад

Pretty Freaking Cool Bro. Stumbled upon your channel and to my surprise .. I really enjoyed your creativity in design and re-purposing scrap odds and ends. I prefabricate most of my own HD parts and mods. So, it may not be all that fast or Hi-Tech; but it is enough that it would certainly make some youngster feel like a million bucks to own it. Good job man, also liked the commentary; even if I could only make out about two out of every ten words .. the two words were enough to understand what you had going on; easier to hang with a few mumbles than a bunch of extra chatter. Appreciate you taking the time to share the project!

I know just about everywhere around here is hiring, would imagine its the same pretty much all over. Also there are many public assistance programs and shelters that can help you.

I used the brakes that are built into the rear mower axle. If you dont have that you could always add a scrub brake. A scrub brake is something solid that is pulled against the wheel when you hit the brakes. Is just simply uses friction as brakes. Hope that helps you out, thanks for watching!

The pulley does affect speed. The mtd rearends are single speed but have a forward and reverse. Because of that you control the gearing by changing pulley sizes.

@@goodfellasinc.5648 thank you. This was just a fun little project made with scrap. We have way nicer, more extensive builds that we have done. The welder is probably 15+ years old and well used. I typically shut all the lights off and everything so its the only thing running on that circuit. Helps out a little but it can only do so much, still kicking though. Maybe one day the vids will pay off and we can get some better equipment. Anyway thanks for watching and the comments!

Top speed?

@FireAndGasoline 3 года назад

Was probably around 20mph, nothing crazy from this build.

@nobody288 5 лет назад

Is it for sale?

@FireAndGasoline 5 лет назад

No, it has since been dismantled and turned into a reverse trike go kart. And then dismantled again and part used on the 3-way build. Check out some of our other vids.

@Creeperboy099 4 года назад

Ah, this is how we need to source our drivetrain parts I was wondering how we would adapt our engine output shaft for my project to the drivetrain Btw if you are curious our engine is a 190cc 6.5hp Briggs flathead vertical shaft Edit: is there a way you can directly adapt the shaft to the gearbox?

@FireAndGasoline 4 года назад

You could use a coupler to mount from engine to trans but it would take off as soon as it starts. You need to have a clutch of some sort to be able to remove power from the axle when the engine is running and connect power when you want it to go.

@Creeperboy099 4 года назад

Fire And Gasoline I’m thinking attaching the clutch to the output of the transmission and chain driving the rear end This Briggs is only a test engine for the chassis, and it will eventually have a horizontal shaft engine in it with a torque converter (and someday maybe be a hybrid too) Edit: our layout is going to be like a racing kart, where the engine is to the right of the driver

@FireAndGasoline 4 года назад

@@Creeperboy099 you could do that but it would need to be a clutch that engages at a low enough rpm. If the engine is running at 4000 rpm the axle may only be turning 400 rpm. The clutch wouldn't be at a high enough rpm to engage if that was the case.

@Creeperboy099 4 года назад

Fire And Gasoline I see- you can modify clutch springs through, right?

@FireAndGasoline 4 года назад

@@Creeperboy099 you can, would probably have to make a really weak spring to replace the original, or maybe heating it to weaken the temper. You'll just have to test and see what will work. Seems like you know enough to figure it out and get something to work.

The throttle cable? I typically buy a set of bicycle cables and make my own throttle cables. You can get a full set of bike cables for under $10. If you need something longer than that you can get cables up to 120 inches premade online.

@RobertHarrisMIB 5 лет назад

Hey I love the video, so why did you use BBQ grates as a seat? That can't be comfortable for your ass! LOL! But excellent video!

@FireAndGasoline 5 лет назад

I just used what was laying around. The purpose was to show that things can be built with what you have and a little work. It has since been torn apart and made into a reverse trike, then torn apart again and made into the "3-way" stand up atv build. Thanks for watching Robert, maybe check out some of our other vids!

@RobertHarrisMIB 5 лет назад

Actually I'm going to build one for my son. So I've been scouring RU-vid looking for ideas. And yours is a great one!

@FireAndGasoline 5 лет назад

@@RobertHarrisMIB just gotta have an imagination and get creative with what you have available. We are just a small channel, we spend 10X what we get back to continue making vids so we need to keep things cheap. Just like most real people. Sure you can go buy a new go kart for $2000 or buying company made parts you can build your own and probably spend close to $2000 that way. But being able to repurpose things and make something yourself is way more fun in my opinion. Since then we have dismantled this and built a reverse trike, then dismantled that and built the "3-way" stand up atv. Either way building a go kart with your kid will make for some awesome memories. Thanks again for watching, maybe check out some of our other vids.

@RobertHarrisMIB 5 лет назад

I'd say it was about 5 feet long and about 30 inches wide. We since disassembled it and built a reverse trike out of it and then disassembled that and it became the 3-way stand up atv. Thanks for watching Jeremiah, check out our other vids and consider subscribing!

@FireAndGasoline 5 лет назад

@@jeremiahmoser133 you should be able to fit a smaller one in that case. Most of us are around 6 foot so it was built to fit us. You can get an idea of what will be comfortable if you sit againt a wall and measure where your feet will be, usually knees slightly bent. Then you will need to add the amount of room for the engine you are using.

Justin Moore, the rearend is from an mtd lawnmower. They have forward and reverse but no gears. They have several speeds on the mowers because of the pulley setup.

thx

@FireAndGasoline 6 лет назад

Ok, well i think i understand what you are asking. When i originally hooked up the throttle cable it was backwards. When you pushed the pedal it would slow down. I made a bracket to hold the cable from the other side of the carburetor so that it would pull the right direction.
