I was out getting lunch after a job and saw these kids in the parking lot with their custom go carts and mini bikes ,maybe early junior high . They look like they spent some time on their rides ,some stuff looked like what you guys do . I asked them ,do you ever watch Cars and Cameras on RUclips ? one replied we watch them all the time . You have fans in Gilbert Arizona . It is awesome that you reach these young kids in a very positive way . Kind of reminds me of myself in the 70s building mini bikes from 20 inch bike frames and lawn mower engines with no brakes going down steep hills .
Glad to hear Ike is 44, I'm 48, glad I ain't the only old fart playing with go karts mini bikes and all the rest of the stuff we accumulate. Its way too much fun! It'll be fine Ike! Love seeing Charles in your vids as well, he's a really cool guy as well as John. The 3 of you are a good combination for fun, mechanical ability and all around good times! 🙂🙂♥️♥️👍👍
That's a neat old simple go-Kart kinda bike that looks really fun. I'd never seen a little bike like that before honestly. And been around. Rode a lot of bikes! But the bouncy tires and and short suspension make it look like a fun afternoon! And I mean I'm 51 and own a much more complicated bike. STILL! I'd love to play on that Knoby tire bike for an afternoon HAHA!!! It looks honestly FUN!
Be careful and wear safety glasses when brushing stuff, even with a fine hand brush. I’ve had dirt and even solvent flicked in my face more than I care to admit.
I had to have a tinny metal splinter removed from my eyeball once ! Yes wear protection every time ! In about 1 or 2 sec. my eye just started flooding and wouldn't stop . took over a couple hours before they could set up to remove it and get me in. Believe me I NEVER want to do that again ! Rusty old muffler ruined my whole day LOL .
@@kaptainkmann7808 Wait til that happens, and you finish a 12 hour shift with that metal splinter in your eye the entire time. After that long, it will begin to rust in your eye, and then that rust infused eye flesh WILL have to be GROUND out. The doc will use a mini grinder and bit similar to a dremel tool, and you'll get to directly watch as the spinning bit comes closer to your eye, makes contact, and then see the eyeball flesh go flying around as it's ground out. And it's fairly painful after the numbing drops wear off an hour later. Yea, so don't WAIT if you get metal in your eye that you can't remove yourself. Go in a.s.a.p.
I haven't been on a go-kart or a minibike since I was a kid, and I live all the way out in Kansas, but if y'all do a public 1 million subscribers celebration, I'll drive the 1200 miles to buy you a beer. I've been following for years. You guys deserve some gratitude.
Ike, you have it backwards. You want to use the longer stones for honing the cylinders. That will help make sure you don’t cut a ring in the cylinder. The best would be stones that extend past the cylinder on the top and bottom. Just make sure you have the right grit stones for the rings you are using.
Always have a good time here. We have our first of two TM MB200's delivered and running. Second test ride ended in a bent headlight, with mud and grass garnish. Didn't matter. We laugh it off and realize we more mature folks don't bounce so well. I'm 66 and Momma is 56. It's just another adventure. I don't know squat about engines but like the learning experience.
Keep rockin', dude! I just turned 49 about 30 minutes ago, and I just bought my first mini bike(s) this last year. Took 'em from a stock 19mph to ~43mph with some mods that one of the kids and I worked on!
My 196cc is a trooper!!!! Right after I bought my ct200u-ex I installed flat top piston, billet rod and flywheel , 280 cam, 24mm flat slide and juggernaut... I’ve been beating the hell out of it over 2 years and it’s held up great
I can’t believe you guys are nearing a million... I remember watching way back when John got taken for a ride on the black widow kart when the throttle stuck, and when you still did speed runs up and down the block outside of johns parents house. I think the first video I ever saw of yours was “9 reasons to buy an old go kart” and I’ve been watching since then.
Every bit of y’all boys content is gold! I just started tearing a locked up predator 212 today for a mini low rider build and listening to videos like this with a pair of AirPods while working will most definitely help me in the future!!!
Charles needed to weld that back together and make a trophy, but welded together crookedly. It can be like a trophy for the gnarliest breakdown during one of your events.
Hes just said he’s done 100 ‚s of miles and got knows what stress maybe it was normal for any crankshaft to be affected.What you trying to say Chinese products are bad for the price ?.Grow up !
By the way I bought a box of 3XL nitrile gloves on Amazon for $9. Oh and when cleaning big parts, just buy some kerosene. Works great, it's what used to be in all solvent washers.
I think you guys should do a budget build off with mini bikes. I really would like to see what ikes engine design and ideas. And see whos is better looking and faster.
Hi guys!!! Great Job educationally!!! I'm a ole timer almost done but want to drop you a tip... When cleaning parts for a rebuild you have to use Solvent type cleaners for the first pass, I agree... But there are many types of cleaners to achieve different cleaning methods... An example: A surfactant type cleaner is sticky (Great for letting dry and cleaning Carpets with a vacuum) The Solvent you used is great for dissolving resins including Carbons & Burnt Oils, but not great on Particulates like metal shavings or those nasty little chunks of materials stuck in between hard spots to reach with a brush... You still have to use everyday "Detergents", that are designed to lift and float particles away during the rinse process (After solvent use)... So, from now on it might help you make a better build if that step after using solvent, you wash it with a regular detergent directly afterwards, then when you rinse your removing both the residual solvent & Particles... But, you got every other detail absolutely correct and explained perfectly!!! I learned about different cleaning aspects in College earning 2 Degrees in Automotive Engineering and have found it to be of great value during my 45/50 years of Engineering Practice... GREAT VIDEO FOR NONDESTRUCTIVE FAILURE & ANALISIS , I'll show it in a future class someday!!! ;-) Keep up the good work guys!!!
enjoy having Charles/Jesse overnight parts from Japan on the show. the three of you together is really entertaining edit: 1M subs idea: party in the tree house i just saw in that scene where ike was spraying off the block and head.......... edit 2: two points for the "princess bride" quote edit 3: this is probably one of the funniest videos you've had in a while edit 4: i told everyone in my 24 Hours of Lemons iRacing league to come check you out and give a sub, because you guys are right up our alley, and ive been a follower for a long time
I’m so surprised you guys don’t have a million yet, you should. Should be very soon wish I could join the party! Hope all goes well, I’m rooting for you.
Thanks guys, That was fun, my biggest take away was that Ike is 44 years old we thought all you guys were under 30. That proves I am getting old at 57 Central California Watching
Being able to sit and watch cars and cameras for an hour was the best thing you have done .. I literally watched all of your videos and it's never long enough (that's a compliment) .. keep up the good work and make more longer videos
Little bike sounds BAAAD, makes me wanna build one. loving the longer videos guys great work. Would also love a riding video but I understand your land is all swampy right now.
I know that you guys mentioned about the zinc additive with relation to the cam wear but also , if your valve lash was too tight it would starve the cam and tappet of oil , after all theyre only splash lubricated, just one little bit of wear and it will only get worse, .
Had a small black 400 engine and drove to Minnesota coming home. I heard a real loud knock and I made it 220 miles with that crank shaft broke right by number one.
I like the way you snapped the crank run sand and water through the motor .And look at the camera and tell people they should take better care of there stuff .😂😂🤣🦦
The oil that you need is valvoline vr1 20w50 race oil at any chain auto parts store it is what we use in all race and flat tappet engines at work beyond break in. Also break in for those cams is critical use plenty of thick (like wheel bearing grease) lube on cam and tappets and run the 2000 rpm break in period WITH break in oil we use Brad Penn racing sae 30 break in oil for everything
Same except: "Your 2002 Skidoo is a POS. Get a 2015 or something." That person who told me to get a new sled blew theirs up twice in 3 years. My 2002 600 blew up once since it was new. Parts are cheap for those old carbed Rotax 600 engines. I will keep my old Iron. Not "upgrade" to new aluminum meaning my bores are cast iron and can be bored out up to 3 times in order to repair it. You can't do that with plated aluminum bores like newer sleds have.
flatheads 4 life. i just cant do the clones. so ugly to me. dont care if they make more hp. i remember taking the side cover off my 212 predator and seeing the crankshaft. it was full of casting craters. i put the cover back on and gave it to a small engine repair friend.
For the one mil special, make a proper storage garage/barn/shed where u can store all ur builds, safe from the weather. Maybe see if cant get one of the youtube construction channel to help u out getting it set up. There is people like the guy that helped demo mat with hes building
The new suspension setup makes this more suitable for Ike, too firm to work for John. Please fit a v twin to one of these types of bikes, they sound so good :)
Great video to open and close the engine and get re done. I have an Suzuki RV90 with a homelite 196cc pressure washer conversion and a tillotson mechanical injection carb with torque converter. Made it the old fashioned way like you all. I think it's time for a performance kit and mikuni carb. Thanks again for the insipration.
If you put your body wait down on the pegs buy standing you will lower your Centre of gravity then start buy shifting your wait from peg to peg and see what the results. Great video guys
Hi guys! I love your videos! I just wanted to give you a little tip. Even though assembly lube on the piston rings will work, engine oil is much better for seating the rings during break-in. Keep up the good work!
I think a 1mil giveaway would be a cool idea, like order a mini bike from GPS along with a Tillotson 212 and do a stage 3+ build on it and put the motor on the frame after its been custom painted by you guys
I use a cold or hot water pressure washer to clean engines and engine parts where I work, we modified an old shopping cart, we put the parts in, and blast away, it works really well.
🤣 i lost it when Charles was just standing there and all of a sudden he says we might need a coupon🤣🤣🤣 and I think giving your parts two random people that order off your website is fantastic, one of your fans might get a signed iconic piece from one of your episodes, could inspire a future father son or daughter to hold one of the pieces in their hand while watching the episode you guys are Epic
18:00 that chem dip us primarily made to clean carburetors. You let the parts soak overnight then neutralise it with water. Its pricy, but it does a great job
Great content guys, keep it up. I've heard some people commenting about the broken crankshaft as being made cheap Chinese material etc. But tbh I broke a few cranks on old Briggs and Tecumseh engines as well, it's a stock crank and they're very well made very stout engines, the stock crank was never meant to hold up to the added hp and torque of a modified engine.
I think for the million subs, it would be cool to go old school /throwback with a twist - make a go-kart using a 20 something hp v twin lawn mower engine, and do a horizontal - vertical shaft conversion. Kind of a use what you have project, but with the addition of being more hp than a small one cylinder, but something that needs some kind of interesting work to make it usable, rather than sticking with pulleys etc
Remember that motovox minibike you guys had like 7 years ago? Well I got an engine from one and it wouldn’t run for the life of me. So I decided to completely tear it down and I found a break in crankshaft right where you found this one. Turns out it is a common problem on those 80cc engines.
About freezing the bearings. Get some air duster. And a heat gun. Heat the case with the gun. Then hold the air duster upside down and spray the bearing. It will sharing it enough that it slips right in and you don’t have to wait.
i have used that chem dip for 50 yrs its great . my bucket is a 5 gallon size with a basket it holds about 3 gallon at most . ive used it now and just add to it ive had to replace the bucket twice
Those light visible wear marks on the piston are completely normal for any motor being used. As long as the lines don’t catch your finger nail or you are able to feel them you’re fine. Send it.
18:30 the easy way is to cut the gov arm about 1.5 centimeters long and keep the tabbed part on it. Put the tabbed part on the outside (so its impossible for it to drop in) then use jb weld as the “glue” to hold it in place.
My first small engine was a 196cc hisun! Did mild build and don't think I'll get rid of it! Awesome work. Test it for me so I know how much I can add to it lol
Friendly advice . Please put a chain or strap around that gas bottle . I have seen one fall and break the valve off . It went through 2 cinder block walls and ended up 200 ft into a field .
Congratulations Ike your the only other person besides me I have known to do that to one of these style of engines, i ended up rebuilding it and named it Frankenstein Because I put it back together with All of the best parts I had.

Always order parts AFTER you finish disassembly, it'll save you a lot of headache! Otherwise, I'm glad our MB200 is back on the road!
With the oil, people run diesel oil in flat tapet cams because it still has zinc additives
Now a stage 4 build for the motor
I just knew it, I told wife who's not paying any attention, what about the piston and cylinder. But you know that!
You should make that (snapped crankshaft) the trophy of the person who breaks the most stuff at the next minibike Mayham.
Made that mistake a few times

I use a cold or hot water pressure washer to clean engines and engine parts where I work, we modified an old shopping cart, we put the parts in, and blast away, it works really well.
🤣 i lost it when Charles was just standing there and all of a sudden he says we might need a coupon🤣🤣🤣 and I think giving your parts two random people that order off your website is fantastic, one of your fans might get a signed iconic piece from one of your episodes, could inspire a future father son or daughter to hold one of the pieces in their hand while watching the episode you guys are Epic
18:00 that chem dip us primarily made to clean carburetors. You let the parts soak overnight then neutralise it with water. Its pricy, but it does a great job
Great content guys, keep it up. I've heard some people commenting about the broken crankshaft as being made cheap Chinese material etc. But tbh I broke a few cranks on old Briggs and Tecumseh engines as well, it's a stock crank and they're very well made very stout engines, the stock crank was never meant to hold up to the added hp and torque of a modified engine.
Who knew there were high performance brigs and Stratton look alikes,I love it.
I think for the million subs, it would be cool to go old school /throwback with a twist - make a go-kart using a 20 something hp v twin lawn mower engine, and do a horizontal - vertical shaft conversion. Kind of a use what you have project, but with the addition of being more hp than a small one cylinder, but something that needs some kind of interesting work to make it usable, rather than sticking with pulleys etc
Don't know why but I really enjoy watching yall do what you do.
Remember that motovox minibike you guys had like 7 years ago? Well I got an engine from one and it wouldn’t run for the life of me. So I decided to completely tear it down and I found a break in crankshaft right where you found this one. Turns out it is a common problem on those 80cc engines.
Charles is a good addition to your team he explains thing well ,
Thanks Charles well done
How have you guys not hit 1 million subs yet
I've been a subscriber for a few years now
I always can't wait to see what happens next
Love the videos got up the money and built the 196 off my Coleman because of y’all
About freezing the bearings. Get some air duster. And a heat gun. Heat the case with the gun. Then hold the air duster upside down and spray the bearing. It will sharing it enough that it slips right in and you don’t have to wait.
I find it refreshing when your buddy Charles is around. Great video :-)
I took a screenshot of 8:57 for personal wallpaper.
Thank you.
It looked like it got hit with a metric $4lt ton of NOS.
I miss NC this time of year.
That exhaust sounds great, throaty and not too loud.
i have used that chem dip for 50 yrs its great
. my bucket is a 5 gallon size with a basket it holds about 3 gallon at most . ive used it now and just add to it
ive had to replace the bucket twice
"Its making a Full Half turn". Priceless.
I always add zddp in all my small engines. Cheap insurance, I got a feeling you guys are going to start using it too....
Those light visible wear marks on the piston are completely normal for any motor being used. As long as the lines don’t catch your finger nail or you are able to feel them you’re fine. Send it.
18:30 the easy way is to cut the gov arm about 1.5 centimeters long and keep the tabbed part on it. Put the tabbed part on the outside (so its impossible for it to drop in) then use jb weld as the “glue” to hold it in place.
My first small engine was a 196cc hisun! Did mild build and don't think I'll get rid of it! Awesome work. Test it for me so I know how much I can add to it lol
I love the videos with the camera person in it. Having Charles in there too is great as well.
Awesome video guys! Love the longer videos. Would love to see a bloopers video!
Thanks for sharing.
Didn’t realize go power sports came out with a new quick release crank journal. Can’t wait to test one out when it hits the market.
Friendly advice . Please put a chain or strap around that gas bottle .
I have seen one fall and break the valve off . It went through 2 cinder block walls and ended up 200 ft into a field .
Congratulations Ike your the only other person besides me I have known to do that to one of these style of engines, i ended up rebuilding it and named it Frankenstein Because I put it back together with All of the best parts I had.
The princess bride quote Mawidge. Good one John.😉
76 was a good year..i was born then too...gen x
Thank you both for the inspiration IT'LL BE FINE!
