"because it's fun" is a perfectly rational reason to buy something.
Agreed
That's how I've justified two miatas... lol
Absolutely!
Correct.
Why does it need to be justified? Lmao
I just cannot believe I'm setting here watching two grown up kids playing in the driveway!!!! Loved it anyway.
Exactly! 😂👍
That the problems with grown ups... they dont know how to play anymore
@@TheFARM2019 Maybe not play fair anymore!
Win if you can..... Lose if you must.....BUT CHEAT AT ALL TIMES!@@randyfleet9968

Love the go cart content. Learning about all the stuff I wanted as a kid 50 years ago. About time we had someone on here not afraid to enjoy a kids dreams even if they are an adult. You go girl!
The reason everyone wanted to be the older kid.
Need to use chain wax. That will solve your problem. I use it on my sport bike so the oil doesn't sling all over the place. They make it in a spray can.
Big believer in Motul chain lubes. More slippery than Chain Wax, and the Road version does not fling at all.
Mustie1 recommends Bar and Chain oil
i wax my chains for my push bikes. great idea.
Definitely needs to be a dry lube of some kind. Anyone who's ridden dirt bikes or mountain bikes will understand the benefits.
So pleased you bought a helmet.
That will protect your noggin but if it's doing that you'll be out of the kart and bouncing your knees, elbows and hands on the landscape too. At least wear some gloves. You can cover the scars in the other places with clothes! A 20mph spill on that concrete can cause severe skin damage. Dramatic? Yes, but you know I'm right. There will be blood if you don't.
Can the variably pulley be shimmed to kick in earlier? How lose is the belt when the pulley is locked out at speed. High speed GoPro check needed.
@@delukxy having raced go karts at many locations in Europe. it is normal to wear a racing suit, gloves and a helmet. You are not allowed on the track without protection. Having crashed a few times as well it is prudent to not have any sharp protruding parts of the kart which can cut you as you exit the kart at speed. Sarah is conversant with WRC and I would hope that the protective gear worn by those racers would be part of her protection when the Focus becomes a running reality.
@@tomquimby8669 - Sarah would give Danika Patrick competition in a racing suit.
@@Alan62651 It would make a great video getting the real racing deal Danika to give a training session to Sarah at a track. Win win for the viewers and Sarah could up her skills.
The belt looked loose when you first started up the engine. Doesn't it need to be tighter? And can you mount the go-pro on the front of the frame facing forwards?
Check your motor seal the one in between the torque converter and the block and go to gopowersports if you need something they can pretty much tell you anything and everything
just love that you are fixing this for no other reason than to play
Karting makes me Happy! I hope this turns into a mini series.
Your Editing and Camera work is Absolutely Amazing, thank you for your hard work, it brings joy to a lot of us, your people's!!
Clean the chain off really well (kerosene works good) and then use chain wax. Once it dries on there, you’re all set. No more oil flinging all over.
3 things: 1)We gotta get you a decent shop grade 8 hardware starter assortment. 2) aren't the rusty SHCS bolts grade 8 by definition and stronger than the stainless you put in? 3) CRC chain lube spray is my go to. Comes out watery to clean and flush dirt then leaves behind a blue residue that clings. Great on other stuff in shop in place of spray white grease.
The helmet alone earned a like from me!!
The go cart content is awesome! Looking forward to seeing more of it!!
Everybody hates them when they are in cars, but when they are in a go kart, everyone still wishes it was a regular clutch and a shifter. :)
Nah, prefer a sequential gearbox and only use the clutch for 1st and reverse. Car, motorcycle or go cart.
@@JimmyMakingitwork Ya that's what I mean. Shifter carts are way faster than rubber band carts.
"oh no! my cvt is slipping" that is an oxymoron if I ever heard one 😂😂
Also sounds like a problem with a birth control device
4:46 ZIP TIES AND BIAS PLIES!!! MIiiiiinnnttttt
You are just sooooo Punny, and I just love it !!
I love the fact that for Sarah, Ugg boots = work boots
That go-kart is awesome ! Keep the episodes coming !
You go Girl!!! Great to see you having fun 🤩
I'm a old retired (Subaru) mechanic and enjoy your videos from Vancouver Island. CVT belts will shed rubber when new so it can form fit the pulleys of different housings. Unless a belt is specifically made for that CVT which I doubt very much, your going to have some thinning out. I prefer non geared belts for them unless you replace the chain for 1.
Love the helmet! I can see your OCD with the cart. LUV IT.
Sarah,don’t operate that without the belt guard on,a friend of mine was doing the same thing and the belt came off hit him in the eye and he lost his eye. Be safe
you need a smaller sprocket on the rear hub or a bigger front sprocket to go faster . drop at least five teeth on the back or add two or three to the front one , shell go faster then trust me am an x gokart racer .
Yeah, go cart chains were notorious for grabbing girls hair and beating their brains out back in the 70s
I’m worried about her hair being loose most of the time. That a spinning part will catch her hair and pull part of her scalp off.
There was a little girl on the news a while back, I think there's some videos on RUclips about it that got scalped riding a go-kart without her hair pulled up, unfortunately her hair got caught in the chain and then......
And for the chain not being perfectly aligned to slide the drive sprocket on the axle whichever way it needs to go, very easy.
I love the work you've done on the go cart and that anime SHOEI helmet is the bomb! WOOHOO!
You might be able to use a bit of alcohol as a solvent to carry away the oils on the belt. Scrub it down for just a few minutes with a oil-free parts brush and wipe dry with a clean rag. Also, you can use "belt dressing" spray. It can make the rubber on the belt tackier. Or maybe find someone who has a sandblasting cabinet to roughen up the surfaces on the belt pullies where they come in contact with the rubber belt (giving the metal a gritty surface).
Cool helmet! One thing you might consider is getting a bicycle chain guard and altering it to fit your cart. The idea of using an old school chain guard on a bicycle was so that you wouldn't get your pants caught in the chain when you're pedaling, and keep you a bit cleaner. However it will also keep the oil from spraying onto the CVT. Years ago I had a CVT on a minibike that I owned, and the issue with it was that the governor on the engine was set so it wouldn't allow it to develop enough RPM so that the CVT would work properly.
Alignment of belt has a lot to do with longevity. A small increment out of alignment eats up belts. Heats them up and eats them. Learned this the hard way on snowmobile.
I'm part of the 'chains suck' camp. Belts are quieter and cleaner. If you can replace the chain final drive with an all belt system, that's what I would go with. Makes replacing the belt a total pain as you have to remove the axle, but - chains suck.
Hardware store closed before fun could be had = sad day
Sarah smiles = priceless
way back in the 70's a close friend was a snowmobile guy. he told me it made a big difference what brand and type belt you put on the CVT
Gates?
@@mostcom yes back then I don't know if gates is still around.
Fur the record it's really freakin nice to see you just spending some money's and timezez on sweet Sarah and her goofy adventures.
You know we luv you girl and we'd literally watch you fill in crossword puzzles. So no matter the content we are loyal to you. Have fun princess.
Might I recommend some super sweet gloves and riding boots. Safety first.
Remember.. You ain't FIRST , YUR LAST.
You need an exhaust, they make cams for that motor, need to rejet the carb. Get rid of the governor. I believe that you can get over sized cylinders and pistons. Shave the heads for more compression, maybe you can buy new heads. There is a lot of performance mods for that harbor freight motor. I had a very similar Emmick cart, it’s a great cart on asphalt. Have fun be safe!
Yes the helmet blue and incorporate some of the florescent green too. Fun content!👍
I've never seen a go kart with the engine next to the driver. The one I had as a kid had the seat centered with one engine mounting pad on each side - but behind the seat. They sure are a pile of fun, but we were always tinkering on ours back in the day to keep 'em running.
Sarah likes to WIN ...
.. you go girl! 🎯
New exhaust a great Idea, and remove or disable the governor.
Go Kart Shinnagins... Looks like a lotta fun. But, at 70 YO, I would never be able o get out of it. As a kid, way back then, I used to love driving them at amusment parks , round and round we would go and also some Go Kart tracks too. I'm still in AWE of the Knowledge you posses on all this "STUFF". It's actually very inspiring to see someone persue your interets to this graduated level. In the words of the Travelling Wilburys (one of my favorite Bands - especially their 1st LP), " You Don't Need No Wax Job.....You're Smooth Enough For Me". Your videos are so entertaining .... The DOPE .
Lots of fun !! Thank you for showing you used anti seize in the stainless hardware to the aluminium pieces. Your paint scheme sounds very cool.
There’s a governor in the crankcase that you can remove, and a Stage 1 upgrade - exhaust header, carb jet, air filter. Careful though, at a certain rpm those stock flywheels can come apart, explode. GoPowerSports is the company, they have tons of stuff.
Several ways to tune your cvt,, the clutch springs can be replaced and either weakened or stronger, another term for the unit is Torque inverter, they use them in JR dragsters and there is a huge wealth of info they can help with.
Quality of belt helps.
Such a fun project Sarah. I can't wait for you to uncork the motor with a header and flywheel as well as removing the governor. 👍👍👍
Love you having some fun , it’s in short supply sometimes
All videos are ace ❤️
So much fun, I know absolutely nothing about Go-karts but they look like an absolute riot.
Awesome videos ignore the trolls and keep doing what you enjoy that is the content that your viewers like.
Gates makes and XL line of belts that through some miracle of modern science get shorter when warm rather than stretch out. Saved the squealing AC belt on my vintage Mustang.
OMG, bolstering test...in the Go-kart 😍😍😍😍I hope 🙏🏻😄
Use dry grafite spray lubricant spray on the chain after cleaning it. If you really want a good background on technology for CVT transmissions for recreational vehicles check out the snowmobile industry. Stock they can handle 200 plus horsepower. They have also been set up with a different track to run on a dragstrip. Sick ets and top speeds. Entertaining if nothing else. Enjoy. Love your videos.
Love your new helmet, it’s so you and protects your beautiful noggin.
That thing is so f****** cool . Please be extra extra careful. If you roll that thing your head's okay but it'll land on top of you and you'll f*** your shoulders up so bad... take it easy going into turns. Nice job young lady
You can put different pre-loads on those clutches when you assemble them and also change the springs. Either can make it engage quicker. Comet makes the best torque converters. Worth the extra money.
Enjoy the 97° heat in Tucson...
today...and the next 6 months.
I'm here too...in the A/C.
Last video: "All it needs is a break line" Current video: *Replaces every part*. lol
I’m so with you on the stainless bolts. I’ve replace bolts on my sons toys and bicycles with stainless bolts.
Look up the RPM Act and how you can help keep the EPA at bay so we can continue to have fun with our cars the way we want!
I know the snowmobile world which has been using CVTs for decades probably has an answer for you on the belt. I remember having to break in new belts with a number of constant speed pulls and hard acceleration pulls. The belt would leave a greasy residue on the clutch faces until it was broken in.
CARTS! FUN! YES! LOL! You seemed so sad when you were talking about the hardware store being closed. It's O.K.! It'll open the next day! LOL! Love the video! Jefff is so cool!
i love how even after you get a shop and lifts and all this, you find a way to keep working on the floor. :P
Tell me how that lift would help with a gokart..
@@SarahnTuned hey are you aware of the RPM Act and how the EPA is working to end car performance mods? Please help shed light on this subject from one enthusiast to another
If you want to really rip, check out a 22mm mikuni carb conversion, remove the governor, install 18lbs valve springs, and a straight pipe header. It will be a monster
You can change the weights in the CVT to increase top end or low end. So many options!
Voted best lunch plate featured on any knuckle buster video of 2021, so far.
Yes, keep going with the go-kart project for now. Your dry, witty-sarcastic, matter of fact humor reminds me of Savage Geese, but better refined somehow; equally fun & borderline naughty.
More go cart content! Nice helmet too.
Needs a heemi
E-kart....
It's just a thought.
Be well and stay safe.
Love ur new go cart the content is great looking forward to more
Sarah you make it like Christmas every day!! Nothing like watching you open boxes of stuff!!
Love the kart videos, and the new helmet is awesome; it's you!
Your automotive experience is advancing rapidly! Keep up the great work and BE SAFE. 👍
Watching Sarah rip on a sweet go-kart, and learning that Jefff is a leash-pee'er are two things I didnt think I needed to know but now that I do I love both of those things.
Oh does this bring back a lot of fantastic memories. You can do all the go cart content you want. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
That looked great fun, paint it the same colour as your helmet will look ace... great vid as always.....
I need a shifter cart now.
I go to wilco for nuts, bolts, n stuff.
Bike shop for ball bearings.
Wrecking yard for motorcycle engines.
I would try spraying the belt with belt conditioner such as CRC 05350 Belt Conditioner. It makes belts grip better. You will have to figure out where the oil is coming from and fabricate a shield or chain guard to keep it from happening.
This is so fun. Love it!!! LOVE THE HELMET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice choice.
The helmet matches perfectly!!
Take the CVT pully apart clean it well .extend the springs and clean them and the weights plus the inside of the pulley. Take the belt off clean it and clean the teeth for the belt. Then reassemble. Should work if not repeat once more. If that doesnt work I'm at a loss
Also with better air intake you need better exhaust flow. Swap that restricted factory exhaust for a header pipe and RLV muffler. You'll free up the power you lack.
3:55 This is why need SAFETY GLASSES and/or FACE SHIELD
I laughed so hard though when the dremel wheel shattered and then video edits frame into talking about sprockets 😂😂😂 But safety first for sure.
I have the conviction that steel bolts are stronger than stainless, but maybe I'm wrong :o)
just depends on their hardness rating and what they need to support. I think they engineer +25% above for certain consumer goods.
I always used grade 8 nikel plated hardware on my race carts
I had one with a Yamaha 125 with a centrifugal clutch, I could gear it to 120mph but only got it to 90 mph. Sick little carts.
Love your content, even for gocarts.
The teal of your helmet already looks like a match to the kart chassis on my iPad. But yes, pick up the colors of the helmet on the kart... teal, white, and red. Also, I learned a lot more about how a CVT works. Thanks!
You can try cleaning the cvt belt with warm water and dawn dish soap and lightly scuffing the outside edge with scotch brite rather than replacing it. This is common method I used quite frequently on my rzr's belt to keep it maintained.
I'm so happy you have a project you can enjoy this decade!
been awhile since I've been back to the channel... nice to see you're all setup now in the shop!
Smaller say 5 less teeth axel sprocket equals more top end speed. You are right about his taller rear tires.
Make sure your CVT pulleys and chain are allined. Misaligned belts and chain will not only wear out parts prematurely but also rob power.
Rents a huge shop; works on something that can fit on a kitchen table XD
There are aftermarket spring and weight kits for those 30 series cvt that can help em grip the belt a little better and restore the top end.
Nice project! Does not look like a shifter kart frame. It could be a TAG frame. Shifters normally have disc brakes front and rear. Still plenty fast and fun!
Paint the frame the blue color and paint the rims white! That's fire 🔥
before you put the belt guard on, the CVT pulley attached to the motor looks like it's installed backwards. The sloped side should be facing the belt, not the flat side...
It’s not.
I like that color choose!its modern and not to girly!Putt a NOS on it for more Power!
Nice helmet!!! Use a bicycle dry lube on the chain. Mtn bikers use it in your part of the world. It doesn't fling oil all over the place.
Enjoyable video... make that cart jive! 🎶
9:50 Charlie looking like a boss emoji 😂😂
That light blue will be killer look!
My kids and I love watching your new Go Kart! We're looking forward to more Kart content!
The powder blue and white combo is nice. Maybe a thin red stripe on the white parts you paint would help tie in your helmet colors to the go cart.
Check to see if Charlie has a hidden nos bottle on his cart,lol.
Use a straight edge to align the cvt. Base of the non moving side should be in the same line. If not belt will go bad fast and slip.
Observing the young Girl emerging from the grown Woman....
Thanks, Sarah.
In the current World, we rarely get to see this....
It Just needs a break line, and it's ready to rip! Well, you don't leave nothing that simple! 😅😂
