Yeah if you ever finish a project without jumping around every single video and skipping literally got the ultimate fuel injection and ECU combo for the drag Rail and then that just disappears off the channel for months, you need to like push more videos out and maybe even in order
Love to watch you guys hooning around ! We have a summer party with my bike club once a year and people turn up with all kind of crazy motors ..... usually ends with someone going to hospital !
Absolutely loving the kart... best part for me is I have a "barn find" CB550 in the garage. Originally I wanted to build a cafe racer but lately I've been looking at cross carts and now this the little tikes kart may have inspired me to build a cross cart around the 550. Time to come get some tubing and come up with a frame design.
Lemons at Barber is always a riot! I can't wait for the Lemons Recap for the race, im sure they'll have a shout-out to you guys for the most epic pit vehicle in the paddock!
Great video ya'll!! I like all ya'lls builds but believe the cozy coupe is my favorite. Looks like that was fun. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy
It's a common issue. I have a 79' Honda CBX1000 I'm working on. Same problem with the vice griped oil filter. Regular People didn't have metric tools back then. 😂
I used iridium plugs on my Yamaha Super Tenere because I thought they would last longer and give me a bit more boost. But what actually happened is the bike ran like crap after a few months because it had fried the plug electrode. Nothing was left to cause a spark. I had never seen a plug do that. Your explanation sounds good. It was fun watching the Cozy Coup pull the car up the hill.
That makes sense, the center electrode is usually very thin. If you are running it hard it might just melt down. Especially if the plug heat range is too hot. The thin electrode makes it easier for the spark to jump
That thing is soo awsome!! I have a Yamaha 750 triple that's just sitting around ..... you guys have inspired me!!! I just may make a cart out of it!!! You guys arecawsome!!
Edit: Had to add a space after, 'can handle.IT'. RUclips treated it like a link and I disagreed. 😉 V=I/R. Ohm's law will tell you all that you need to know. Your iridium plugs draw more current than the coppers points can handle. It would be like plugging in a 220v welder into a 200' extension cord. The cord will fry as the current overcomes the resistance of the copper cord. Current vs. resistance=heat. That said I have watched you guys for years. Keep up the good work and bring more of the old school style back. Don't change totally, just give us a taste of the early stuff here and there. God bless you guys and your families!
14:58 - I thought it was the Lemons Race not the Exploding Car Race.... My advice is do Not follow too closely behind him at any point in the race, just in case he stops suddenly. 🔥😨😖 😂
That thing is badass looking , I just came across this video and I watched a few other ones like your Back Yard 500 they looked really cool with the power wheel bodies on them , that's something I always wanted to try building a go-kart with a motorcycle engine on it but never could figure it out . I really enjoyed your videos and looking forward to seeing your future builds , Power on guys and keep up the awesome builds and videos 👍✌️
More juice for more power, I'm surprised that copper spark plugs don't erode/melt faster. I'm an electrician but I know a lot about engines and it's just always surprised me, if you try to play with electricity and get arcs you get melted metal. Got a couple screwdrivers that tell the tale, crazier to think that iridium can over 90k miles. Just got thinking though if it's possible to turn a spark plug Into a Tesla coil with minimal loss of metal but enough spark to make the boom
What I have found, with that kind of filter, especially since some times they can be hard to get hold of, if you are in a hurry, and can't get another one, its good to wash them with a little gasoline, and maybe just a tablespoon full of B-12 Chemtool type cleaner, OR the high concentration type Turbocharger/valve spray [just spray some into a water or soda bottle to keep it from splashing all over the place and then pour that into your gasoline dip], let it soak for a couple of minutes, swirl it around, and then rinse it with a little more gasoline, and then blow it off with an air nozzle and it will be good for a few thousand more miles, not problem. I actually have had to do this before on my track loader, where both the air filter [which is ENTIRELY IMPOSSIBLE to get a proper replacement element for] AND the first stage fuel filter [I have found some now, so I have new ones in stock, so you know I do not do this willingly, but as an emergency measure only] and it works, at least for a while, [how long exactly I can not tell you, because I have neither the time, facilities, money or desire to put it to a full on test, and I am sure, somebody, some place, has already done so] but is definitely not a real solution for the problem, if a new, clean filter is an option.
Be interesting to see which one dose better on the drag strip, the lemons was great, more of a average person price range, although the Race suits would be a months pension payment, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
The sound of a one cylinder Briggs & Stratton motor is reminisctely familiar and still not really a good sound, but so down to earth it's unavoidably cool!
might be fun to hotrod it a bit more vissually , add a monster tach and a blue nos bottle on the back , maibe add a hoop with a leather headpad comming up to about between the shoulderblades should help some being able to drop the clutch without breaking youre back above the hips make it look like one of those ed roth drawings from hot rod magazine
A fun watch as always. I don't know if anyone else has said anything about it, but there is an actual car based off the Little Tykes Cozy Coupe made by John Bitmead. Type his name into your RUclips search engine and you will find it rather quickly. It is street legal and can go up to 70MPH. Be hard pressed to say which would be funner to drive. I think both would be a blast!
I owned a 1976 Honda 550 and I own a 2006 Suzuki Hayabusa. Both had similar power bands. The 550 didn't have the power to much exceed 120 mph. The Suzuki was hard to keep under 120 mph. Both come on hard at 6k rpm.
That build is so cool looking one of your guys best builds . SOO I think you guys should build a oval track race car you have built a drag rail what about a legitimate race car . It would be great to see you build and setup a race car like you did the rail test’s and trials we would all learn as we go . I am not talking 200 grand race vehicles but local track racing find a totaled car at auction with good engine and put it into a decent frame .
Another great video guys 👍. Looks like a fun time for all 🤣. This Old Man from Washington NC enjoying all your videos. Keep them coming. Love you Guys 🛵🧔💝💝💝
Funny stuff ...Back in the 60's 70's and early 80's .There was a Phonebook at every payphone that had everyone's Name and full street address ...Today everybody is in Panic mode ha ha
Man that thing needs some dual glass packs or cherry bombs. Think of the sound.... not just noise like it is now. Put a hoop (roll bar) in the back and paint it yellow. Put some older looking round lights up front and then make the eyes and mouth glow (paint the red plastic on the inside so no light bleeds through around those big eyes and mouth through the red plastic. Give it break lights too.
WRT using Iridium plugs with points ignition... Ike is spot on!. I used Iridium plugs for many years on all my newer fuel injected cars. Worked great. BUT tried them on my old 69 Chev 350 with points. Didn't work worth a damn.
Go to my sponsor aura.com/carsandcameras to try 14 days free and let Aura go to work protecting your private information online
First
Hey congrats on 1 million subs!!
Only 1 suggestion. take the seat back 6 inches. It doesen't look all that comfortable. 🛵
The "tot-Rod" is back
My tow strap made it on RUclips!!
This thing was a LIFESAVER that weekend!
No doubt brother 😂 I saw your video before this one, so I already knew, and watching it tow that pinto was utterly badass 🤷🏽🤣
That 24hr lemons video was great entertainment, may just watch it again.
I started dying when I saw it pulling the pinto
I bet y’all were using it as a get around
We’ve got some killer plans for this build!
Please race the 550cc tikes cozy coupe vs the rail
cozy coupe needs a roll cage i think
Burnout kart
That a Opel GT on the lift, right? Tell us whats going on with that thing.
Yeah if you ever finish a project without jumping around every single video and skipping literally got the ultimate fuel injection and ECU combo for the drag Rail and then that just disappears off the channel for months, you need to like push more videos out and maybe even in order
It's always fun to watch you guys especially when Kevin is involved.
The Sunoco fuel sponsor is a huge deal. So appropriate for Cars and Cameras.
Love to watch you guys hooning around ! We have a summer party with my bike club once a year and people turn up with all kind of crazy motors ..... usually ends with someone going to hospital !
Was fun to finally meet you guys and see you are real people!!….. I was the guy in the slow ass white Corolla
Glad you recovered from getting hacked
I absolutely love this build. One of my favorites from you all.
So stoked to see you getting back to the cozy coupe
That Cozy Cart is Radical 💯☮️ a chain front bumper and a seat back for the wagon trailer 👍
Absolutely loving the kart... best part for me is I have a "barn find" CB550 in the garage. Originally I wanted to build a cafe racer but lately I've been looking at cross carts and now this the little tikes kart may have inspired me to build a cross cart around the 550.

I love Eberth 200cc motor, it's just the best motor ever, so powerfully 🤩
12:24 I love when engines go from rav to idle instantly
I love it when they go from idle to rev instantly, then slowly wind down with some crackles and pops.
@@FuzzysGarage Yes of course with a heavy enough flywheel... I just really appreciate the compression and timing you've achieved
My guys growing big time...hanging with Nolan from Donut Media...super cool guys
These 3 channels coming together is awesome
Lemons at Barber is always a riot! I can't wait for the Lemons Recap for the race, im sure they'll have a shout-out to you guys for the most epic pit vehicle in the paddock!
The cozy coupe is insanely cool!
cozy coupe is best coupe! That thing is rad man!
This channel is going places, bravo guys! I'm glad to see this channel grow. Thanks for the laughs, the cringe and just for having fun...
Charles-honda
Issac- Sunoco
Me-gotta love it
ok that's the first sponsor segment i actually sat and watched, Not a bad program tbh. Also i am on the hunt for a honda bike engine for myself....
I think this is my favorite of your builds. I have an old golf wing 1100 I’m kicking around the idea of doing a wheelbarrow roadster out of
Best ever build.....awesome proportions
I'd love to see the cozy coupe one a drag strip. I know it would be super sketch-tastic without a cage but you gotta be honest it would be so sick
That has always been one of my favorite karts you guys did.
Great video ya'll!! I like all ya'lls builds but believe the cozy coupe is my favorite. Looks like that was fun. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy
Of all the builds this is seriously one of the best IMO. Looks and sounds great!
Best part was Mr C. Hangin from the car lift.. Yeah I caught it Charles.
love junkyard digs video of the event. hope you do it next time
That thing is sick!
Its so cool to see people from youtube collaborating together
Saw this track on your channel, downloaded it to my sim rig, using GTR2 on PC, fun track. Nice vid.
Yes a race against the t4 would be awesome
I cranked up the volume on my 2800w parasound system when Ike was doing Donuts in the shop and the sound of it was priceless!😂
My mark 2 golf works just fine with iridium plugs, no problems so far.
It's a common issue. I have a 79' Honda CBX1000 I'm working on. Same problem with the vice griped oil filter. Regular People didn't have metric tools back then. 😂
kev,you sir are the reason I got back in to rc cars, I now have 5 kids from next door that love my crawlers and building a course in my backyard
Race that thing against the rail job. That would be awesome!
Throw one of those little superchargers on it!!

Excellent video guys.....well done
Looked like a nice track.
Looked like a great time
Well yeah, I like to see the coupe at my place! 😁. That one guy must've been impressed by it - and you probably still get a lot of looks I bet.
That things badass, I’d love to chill with you guys one day. That’d be so much fun haha. Keep up the hard work and the good times 🏁
Loved this build when it first came to the channel
omg you finally got out the Little Tikes Kart!!!
The Little Tikes cart is cool as heck!
Cozy coupe mini tractor pulls? That'd be interesting.
Great stuff!
very nice! it needs a fan so it dont overheat..also you could do the lawn tractor pull with it
i wanted to see a 550 and bygod you delivered it sounds good and is badass cool !!!😊😊😊
Always liked the Cozy Coupe project! 👌👌
Love that sound Ike looks like a big kid on Christmas with his smile
I loved this build when it came out. Need to do another tire burner like that one.
Those are such great little engines, so smooth, and capable for being 40-50 year old bike engines! You should try using a CVT on one :D
That was cool working with junkyard Digs.
Edit: Had to add a space after, 'can handle.IT'. RUclips treated it like a link and I disagreed. 😉
V=I/R. Ohm's law will tell you all that you need to know. Your iridium plugs draw more current than the coppers points can handle. It would be like plugging in a 220v welder into a 200' extension cord. The cord will fry as the current overcomes the resistance of the copper cord. Current vs. resistance=heat.
That said I have watched you guys for years. Keep up the good work and bring more of the old school style back. Don't change totally, just give us a taste of the early stuff here and there. God bless you guys and your families!
We love the channel!

The cozy coop is awesome
That Javelin was friggin bad ass!
I have no idea what HP that 550cc is laying down, but the look and sound is at least 500+! Awesome!
That Pinto is sick!!!
You all should make flags or banners I would definitely buy one
Love this little tikes cart.
More juice for more power, I'm surprised that copper spark plugs don't erode/melt faster.

My two year old loved this.
I know the fram filter number by heart CH6009.
So many people ditch on Fram filters I’ve never had any problems with them on bikes or cars
To be honest, I have a SOHC 750. Even with the correct size wrench for the oil filter they strip super fast. Same as the tappet adjustment covers.
9:00 You ever wake up in the mornin and... never mind🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is awesome!!👍🏽
9:01 Charles (background voice): "You ever wake up in the morning and ... " Context jokes are brilliant.
That was awesome when Ike was doing them Donuts in the shop🤘😂
Ike's penalty was freaking hilarious
14:23 Ya'll oughtta get the CrossKart mod for Assetto Corsa and have a go at pushing that thing to its limit.
What I have found, with that kind of filter, especially since some times they can be hard to get hold of, if you are in a hurry, and can't get another one, its good to wash them with a little gasoline, and maybe just a tablespoon full of B-12 Chemtool type cleaner, OR the high concentration type Turbocharger/valve spray [just spray some into a water or soda bottle to keep it from splashing all over the place and then pour that into your gasoline dip], let it soak for a couple of minutes, swirl it around, and then rinse it with a little more gasoline, and then blow it off with an air nozzle and it will be good for a few thousand more miles, not problem.

Righteous burn outs!!!

The sound of a one cylinder Briggs & Stratton motor is reminisctely familiar and still not really a good sound, but so down to earth it's unavoidably cool!
This is easily the coolest thing you've ever built.👍
i had a bad week so this made my day thx
This man just made the cure to boredom
Her in the UK we have 95 octane as our regular gas and 98 octane as our premium and that's in all filling stations
Would be fun to see the numbers it makes at the drag course 😊
Wondered when we'd see this... nice
might be fun to hotrod it a bit more vissually , add a monster tach and a blue nos bottle on the back , maibe add a hoop with a leather headpad comming up to about between the shoulderblades should help some being able to drop the clutch without breaking youre back above the hips

I’m still in love with thing from pates 2021…
I owned a 1976 Honda 550 and I own a 2006 Suzuki Hayabusa. Both had similar power bands. The 550 didn't have the power to much exceed 120 mph. The Suzuki was hard to keep under 120 mph. Both come on hard at 6k rpm.
John ! can you bring back that o.g. CarsandCameras hoodie you had on even if it's a limited sale ?
That build is so cool looking one of your guys best builds . SOO I think you guys should build a oval track race car you have built a drag rail what about a legitimate race car .
