  • Hey Guys, Migs Here! In today’s video, I am going to pick up a free go kart, and begin the efforts of trying to get it running and driving for the first time in 16 years! We were able to find the engine problems that make this engine not run. It could be the perfect candidate for an engine swap! Thanks for Watching!

    Let me know what you think the fate of this go kart should be! As you can tell from the title, I’m leaning more to the side of a quick one day restoration and engine swap to get it running and driving once again, then sell it to fund a bigger kart with suspension already to become a candidate for the mini side by side build, but I want to hear your input! 👍🏻

    That's an awesome score that free gokart you are so lucky and I just wish I had it as I have a fully reconditioned 1973 250 Yamaha enduro 2stroke that I need a home for, just spray heaps of "Rostoff" or CRC on all the corroded bearing areas even some kerosene turps or even transmission oil will do and leave it to soak for a few days and you'll be surprised as it took time to get like that so you have to be patient and give it time to come right as if you rush it it will damage it 🤗 good work bro keep up the great videos that I highly recommend to my friends cheers

    Hey bud, with the up most respect, I just want to say, anytime you see build up like that in the breather/carb man just pull it apart, dont risk sucking that grap into it, and when it looks that bad, you deff know the intake, carb, and tank is going be trashed! Honestly you have several engines laying around, just put one them on and go bud, suspension swap is gong cost more than buying a used frame that's already set up. Either way, you got a hell of a deal. Also if the cyl and rings look good, that motor can be running in about hour, good luck bud!!! You remind me of my younger self with go karts!
