If u have a small airport nearby, you should be able to get 100% gas @ 100 octane. Should be able to tell a difference. If they have taxi strip they might even let test out your rides on it!
Another good video. I wish I was in your neck of the woods. It would be fun to learn from you. Any suggestions on treating surface rust on an old go kart frame (magic chemicals, etc.)? I've read some people use a vinegar solution or automatic transmission fluid mixture. Thanks!
to get rid of surface rust on a whole chassis best off taking it to be sand blasted and acid dipped or even a sand blaster at home. For small spots a flat disk or a wire wheel on a grinder. Spray bare metal with wd40 for a quick nasty way to stop rust spreading the surface. Still better off taking it right back to bare metal and painting/powder coating though.
+Nathan Bowers although living so close to the ocean in Australia does give us some rust, I do feel sorry for places that are snowed out often. Japan is horrible for rust in cars.
Im buying the 40 series aftermarket torque converter from gopowersports, thanks for the res beards code, do you know what belt will fit it since its got a jackshaft plate, i would like to have an extra one but it doesnt say what specs are.
Hey guys love the videos but I have a question what is the best built full suspension two seater gokart out there minus the engine I'm just looking for a very reliable and comfortable gokart I'll put a predator engine on it so I'm not worried about that part any opinions?
No this is on a Baja 196cc i installed it on the engine then put the cable trough and hook up the throttle. now when i start the baja up it tried to take off without touching the throttle so i have to put it on on something so it don't take off on me. Though it might be the jets but you said GPS drills them out
Yo Red! Need ur assistance or help on restoring a go kart that me n my father bought. I did sum research on it apparently the company manufacturer is no longer existing.
The Mikuni was giving you issues because GPS doesn't sell genuine Mikuni Carbs rather Chinese ones. I found out the hard way when I got one that said Jafan on the side. I called and they confirmed they only sell Chinese ones because a real one would be $300. Love your videos but folks please find a real Mikuni and no they aren't $300bucks
I had one of those as a kid. :-) Those Manco karts were awesome. Thanks for the info, I couldn't remember what it was called. Ours had small knobby tires on it.
There more than double the price with less future upgrades. You can get more than double the power out of a predator than you can a 110cc engine or even the 145cc.
Red Beard's Garage true, but manual trans and gear shifting is tons of fun, and a predator 212 is 6.5hp stock and my stock 110 pit bike is 8hp, predators are a great platform for cheap upgrades though. They both have their advantages and drawbacks, but if you can get your hands on some cheap pit bike mitors off craigslist, they can be tons of fun. Keep up the good work!
good toys for old men
Yes sir good for all ages lol
I have a ~565HP FI 2010 Camaro and I still want to build a go kart, never grow up!
Your repair turned out nice. Always enjoy the additional commentary while working. Sure come up with some pretty good ones!
Lol thanks man

I saw the Instagram story about the garage addition, sounds like you got quite the honey-do list coming your way lol
Yeah I don't think I have ever been this overwhelmed in my life.
Good video man, you definitely build those things to be able to handle some carnage! Kudos 👌
I wish I could have fun like you guys. I sold all my toys and don’t have anywhere to ride anyway. ☹️
Well man save up and buy new ones. lol
Grab an ultra sonic cleaner. They are amazing for cleaning carbs. I use one with the Yamaha carb cleaner and it works wonders.
Yeah its in my wish list lol
The 301 is beautiful
Thank man
Hey I build cars and you know what it's still fun to mess with karts .( Sometimes more fun) ..Don't listen to haters 😁.....
Racing fuel can be purchased online at VP fuels.
Lol. That was me that said that about the mini bikes lol
Lol I will always remember that

This guy gets it... we need more people like you in Canada; every thing dissolves in the snow.

I have a product a company sent me that im going to be trying out soon that is to get rid and prevent rust. Stay tuned!
No offense, but you can tell a beginning welder by his hold on the welding torch, you’ve definitely improved red beard
So if i was to tell you i had a frame a little smaller then little reds and a gx390 and i wanted to weld them together would you say thats crazy?
I would say to you sir........... DO IT lol

The zircon is pretty nice. Me and Lonnie fit in it nice and it can be upgraded to have a lot of power with a 420cc or 670cc
Red Beard's Garage what about the yerf dog would you say it has better suspension? Are parts easy to come by with either one of those?
It has a manufacter place card. Says
China Shanghai Hozou motors company, Ltd

When you push the pedal?
No this is on a Baja 196cc i installed it on the engine then put the cable trough and hook up the throttle. now when i start the baja up it tried to take off without touching the throttle so i have to put it on on something so it don't take off on me. Though it might be the jets but you said GPS drills them out

Stop using predators as much and use pit bike motors more
There more than double the price with less future upgrades. You can get more than double the power out of a predator than you can a 110cc engine or even the 145cc.
