"12 year olds with gray hair" LOVE it! I just turned 60. Grew up with Rupp minibikes and carts. We had a dealer in our town.
58 here,hot wheels to slot cars too bmx too mini bikes n go karts too race cars. we used to get flats on our go kart,no money for tubes so we stuffed red shop rags in the tire. the rags would all clump to one side and cause one heck of a bumpy ride! but whe you have a running go kart looking at you,you'll stop at nothing!!!
I am 47 and never grow up. hehe
..Peace & Love from Sweden by the way.
I resemble that.
Now there is a Dealer in every town!
@@Robert-mt9jw Not Rupp. Long gone!
REMEMBER what it was like, being a young kid? The joy is palpable.
Nothing better than seeing a bunch of grown men having a blast on a go cart... The smile on each of your faces makes this video totally worth watching... Love it...
Good grief!
3 grown men..er i mean big kids on a wicked mini corvette with dual exhausts , fabulous sunday entertainment, thankyou so much!
Who needs the Northern Lights when Mustie provides us Open Exhaust lights! Happy Sunday all! And Happy Moms day to any watching
Darren’s little laugh always makes me smile . We get the feeling we’re doing the work .
Coolest thing ever, the inner child is so impressed with that cart.
It's KART actually. 😎
70 year old couple ere sat sipping dram and laughing our bits off watching this absolute classic here in NW France. May the gods continue to shine down on you Mustie for bringing us so much happiness and laughter.
Nice to see other good people who havnt grown up .....never change !!
The joy that Mustie finds in life is all of his own making. Thanks, as always!
I'm guessing she's gonna need tires pretty soon too! Another great adventure Mustie, Happy Mother's Day to all our moms
You don’t stop playing because you get old , you get old because you stop playing, fantastic toy well done from a 59 year old boy 😀👏👏😀
When your friend entered the fray, it was like a sausage trying to get back into the casing. Loved it. Narragansett Bay
To the little Kid in all of us. Great video !
What a turn around, saved it for more years of fun
Bunch of old men playing like kids!! I love it and I’m totally jealous.
As a 12 year old with graying hair I totally agree it should be Mach 5'd. That looks like crazy amounts of fun, it's way faster than any go kart I've seen. And Mustie being a bad influence on his friends will never stop being hilarious.
Your idea for the exhaust is fabulous. Thanks.
I think that is the best looking machine so far.
It' got styles..
There’s nothing better than seeing several “men” of a certain age giggling away and playing with toys 😁👍😊
Sounds great
My wife just said boys with their toys lol,it looks like a blast to drive ,quick too
,looks fantastic and the exhaust just finishes it off ,great work Mustie once again 👍👍
Im 71, and I love this project.super cool. Thanks. Happy Mother's Day.
Hard to imagine today's kids having as much fun as yesterday's kids as we see here.
its only hard to imagine because you can't imagine it. They have just as much fun as you did.
Good afternoon fellow Mustie1 fans everywhere, from sunny 😎 Lincolnshire, UK 🇬🇧
Good afternoon from Kent, UK 😀
Good afternoon from a sunny West Yorkshire
Good afternoon from Oxford England
Good afternoon from Newcastle
Good afternoon from Bristol uk
I would love to see that thing on a go kart track!
Hey Mustie, just a thought but there is a 3rd party company that makes an electric start kit for these little 212 cc predator engines, got one for my tiller, works pretty good. Its around $130 if i remember correctly, would eliminate the need for the pull start!
The beavis and butthead laugh's are when you know it's a really fun toy! Awesome!!!.
Mhehemmmhehe! Mheheheme!
Was definitely not expecting the pickup on that thing!
Drifts, power skids and everything!
Great job!
As a fellow gray headed 12 year old, I know that if I were a kid and was given this as a 12 year old, within @ 30 minutes I would have wanted a more powerful engine and more speed. I also would have wanted a custom exhaust with twin tailpipes and knew I'd have the coolest go cart around. And yes, every time Mustie chuckles, I smile. Great restore and upgrade.
66 year old me is jealous! That looks like fun. I actually have the "full size" version of this, a 69 red Corvette convertible. 👍👍
Every time I see one of these projects I fully expect his next to be filmed in a full body cast.
Saw my first little car in 1960, that has always been a dream of mine. Thanks for sharing.
I don't know what it is, but I see all sorts of people on RUclips with souped up sports cars, supercars and various exotics...but the people driving what is essentially a glorified go-cart are the ones having the most fun driving it!
I envy you Mustie. You can still do what I am unable to do because of my old age and bad health. I enjoy living vicariously through you.
"What is that, 10 mm? 12? How about a needle nosed wisegrip?" Love it ! :)
Your laugh at 1:15:00 was completely worth the price of admission.Thank you for sharing the madness, Mustie.
Hi
I'm 77 this month I'd happily spend on a flight from Scotland just to have a rip on this cool machine.
If you fit a hinge at the nose and catches on the rear you will be able to have a quick way into the workings of this awsome machine for all round maintenence.
Kids don't grow up,,,,,They just get older. I was laughing right there with you. Many Thanks!
Turning off all the lights to see flames shoot out of the open exhaust is so juvenile. I LOVE IT!
Just spit my beer out when you pulled the burnout. It was worth the effort. Thank you for sharing your wonderful video.
Just what I needed to put a smile on my face on this Mother's Day. A sure mood elevator with no unpleasant after effects.👍
great job and now this is why i watch your video's makes me want to get one just for the fun of it. Nothing wrong with being a kid again after 50's lol keep it up bud.
Probably one of the coolest you’ve done. That thing is a 6HP grin maker!
What a hoot! I'll bet you couldn't wipe the smile off of anyone who gets to drive it!
12 yr olds with grey hair, gotta love it, stay young at heart and youll live forever, keep the great content coming mustie, im 43 bald with grey beard lol, im a single father of 3 boys, 24, 19, and 17 matter of fact today is my middle sons 19th bday my oldest turned 24 on the 7th, i grew up on dirtbikes and karts my boys grew on dirtbikes and karts, no matter how old u get the smiles nvr stop coming when you and your kids and friends and family spend the day ripping on whatever ya got!!
beautiful go cart, but that black rag top Ghia is the most beautiful car I have ever seen. love it.
I want that orange 914!
Yea. That Ghia looks nice.
Nothing vicariously better than seeing Mustie try out his toys...
That handle bar exhaust would look so dope!!! I love it!
Loved every minute of this project. You make all us aging middle aged folk feel young again
Good morning, Mustie! Wow! What a fun video😃! Someone is going to have LOTS of fun with that🏎. It just goes to show, you're always a kid at heart and will always enjoy the simpler things that we all loved when we were younger🧒. Thanks so much for the ride along! Enjoy the rest of the weekend! God bless.
The kid is still inside you all, brilliant.
I said it before and I'll say it again: " you come up with the best toys!" Tks for sharing!
The Pink Panther car keeps coming to my head when i see this.
I agree, but from what I've seen, this handles better than the Pink Panther car!
@@IanM18 hahahaha so true.
I love Sunday mornings, I get to watch mustie do the things I want to do but cannot anymore, thank you and keep em comin
Large children with little toys...too much fun! Congratulations...Mustie , you started a project and almost completed one. To fix the sharp turn cut off problem, it will be completed.
What a great finish!!! You always amaze us with what you can do with a few good parts and pieces. The exhaust was perfect.
You should be the Pace Car for some upcoming race or event.
Nothing better than a Mustie giggle!
if the problem turns out to be fuel slosh in the bowl, one of our karting tricks is to use some fuel tolerant foam cut to fit in the bowl and not mess with the float. The foam slows down the slosh. In my 6 speed shifter kart I use what we call a "pump-around" system which uses a second impulse fuel pump and a epoxied tube to extract excess fuel and put it back in the tank along with the foam to control sloshing. The float, needle and needle seat are removed completely and the fuel level is set by the tube epoxied from the top of the bowl. Perfect fuel level at all times and eliminates tip in bog when you apex and sends you on the way.
And disconnect the oil sensor.
this isn't it. there is a tilt over switch on the predator motors. he just need to bypass it. he is triggering it in the turns.
Nothing better than grown men driving a lil go cart. That thing is quick
years ago, I built a dune buggy with that heat tape on the exhaust. Turns out a heat shield was the way to drop that temp by a bunch. The exhaust was heating my butt right through the floorboards.... and it made a BIG difference. BTW, thanks for the laughs here!
So, the whole neighbourhood turned up to try it... Good job, Mustie.
WTH man, I would too!
Having played with building karts back in my navy apprenticeship days in the late 1970's, and sticking a 200cc motorbike engine on the arse end- I know exactly how you guys felt driving that- The grin on ones face lasts for days. It is an experience everyone shoud try. You did good Mustie1 - Top Marks Darren! one of your best in recent times!
I cant stop seeing Stewart little the mouse when you guys are driveing this thing😂
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. A channel for grown-ups who are still kids at heart, what's not to like.
Mustie 1, "Lets Wrench". God Bless
What a great sound to go with the performance. Great job Mustie
I'm 64 going in 14! Maybe some day you will get a 3D printer for those custom intakes, but for now, you did a fabulous job retrofitting that intake! Nice Job!
So many big kids. Its amazing what can bring a bunch of grown men so much pleasure.
Love these go kart videos- smiling through the entire view! You’re the best - thanks for sharing these!
Time to chill with Mustie,thx as always
Watching you guys drive the go-cart reminds me of seeing the Shinners in the Christmas parade! What fun!
What a way to step back in time and take the rest of us with you. Thanks Mustie
Well done, I honestly think you are going to need a flex joint in that exhaust it will fatigue over time and probably pull the exhaust studs out of the engine as you can see the engine moving around and the exhaust id solid mounted.
@@stew6338 I wonder if Mustie could make the lower exhaust mounts flexible? Cos that engine is gonna be moving all the time!
Glad to see I’m not the only one who thought of that….
@@nevillegoddard4966 yeah that would be a good idea. Small exhaust hangers at the bottom. I also think it still needs a flex joint up the top as the length of the exhaust will have a lot of leverage on the top mounting. I have seen ride on mowers with these same issues I am refering too.
Good morning,eh, from Montreal,Canada….a dark morning here but no rain…..yet. 👍🇨🇦
Good morning from Calgary. Smoke season here already.
@@johnturner8829smokey afternoon yesterday in Regina, SK.
Ottawa's much the same here.
Oh the younger days coming back to memory now. Remembering taking my friends freshly rebuilt YZ80 into his neighbors fence, ahhhhh the memories
Out of the Park, Mr. Darren!! Beautiful and everything fits just right. You made a good call on the bicycle-handlebar exhaust, motor looks nice in there, not whittled in. Personally I'd leave the paint refurbished Red that you got it with. Maybe a bat-switch bypass on the low-oil setup, to keep the functionality but also allow the fun.
To all the naysayers screaming "sacrilege" and keep it as "original" (or close enough with one of the other "shed" engines) as possible. That's right. He does have all those spares. But you don't. You have a credit card and a Harbor Freight discount app on your phone. This will get him views. And as someone who's been here since a little before the trike, please let the man cook? I'll just step off my soap box and go away now.
Getting app now.... 😅
If this was an old mower, by all means, put a Chinese replacement motor on it. The issue is, this has historical significance to it. But, he bought it, so he can do what he wants with it. Just seems like he took the easy way out.
The easy way out?? He's got hours upon hours inti this plus, he has the original engine that he can throw in with a few bolts. He's out having a blast with his buddies, making memories AND making money! Stop hating and let this expert mechanic do what he pleases with HIS possessions while teaching and entertaining us that cannot do half of what he can.
You're alright standurround 👍🏼😊
When an original engine is worn out and not really repairable you do what you need to do
I came home from school when I was about 6 and the first place I went to was behind a shed to do my business. I saw my first buggy made by one of my Dad's employees. It was made from a radio flyer red wagon, same wheels , the steering wheel was made from another axle and red wagon wheel. It steered well enough for me. Looked like a small version of a model A. I was a proud driver even though it was pedal driven. That was in early 1950s. A great video. I loved it
I think everyone needs one... old guys dreams come true....
Musty this was one of the best videos I ever watched I'm 68 and it brings back memories Houston building mini bikes and had two go-karts at my uncle's
I've watched you many years and learned how to repair my lawnmowers carburetor and to replace my spark plug coil!
A great learning channel!
Always a treat to see pure joy on the faces of hard working fellas. That thing looks like a blast. Especially the drift-180s.
Handlebars are defunked because little Joey kept falling off his bicycle. Brother in law of mine had a go cart we used to race around the neighborhood in. Man that was fun even when it breaks or runs out of fuel and had to push it back to his house. You make Sunday videos always interesting and educational.
That little thing is awesome with that engine in it. Great innovations to get it there, the exhaust, the pull start mods. Glad you were firm on not cutting the body and making it work. Great work!
Where just as old as we feel and watching this takes me back to when I was 12!! Fun time's!!
Thankfully, you can never take the boy out of the man. That baby is awesome!!!
That thing has some serious "get up and go" looks like. Loads of fun!
Day late but im here boys!! We used to run go karts where we grew up in a suburb of Minneapolis MN. Cops would always just wave at us and never messed wit us kids.
Daren, you’re going to be a hit at the next car show 👍🇺🇸
Well, I am eighty years old and I still keep coming back and playing this again and again!!! If it is this much fun to watch, it must be a blast to drive!! A pair of handle bars never sounded so good!!! Please take this to a go-cart track or a road with a lot of curves in it and record your fun there!! If watching this is this much fun, it will be amazing on a track specifically made to provide fun!! GREAT ENTERTAINMENT!!! T H A N K Y O U ! ! !
Great job! Looks fast sitting still.
The paint came back pretty nice, awesome!
You’d be the coolest kid in town with this bad boy
Hey mustie. I just wanted to say thankyou so much. I've been so interested in the world of mechanics for a very long time. Yourself and a couple other youtubers have given me the confidence to chase what i love so. I've been tinkering wherever i go. And always seem to have the right tool at the right time. Well thanks to you i have an interview this week in a mechanics apprenticeship and i really do hope I'm accepted. So a huge thanks again mustie for giving me the confidence to tinker on thing's and chase what i love so. Have a nice day!
Speed Racer Mark 5! I love the cackle it makes off-throttle, that's a real sports car exhaust sound.
Mustie I think we all live vicariously through you. This go kart brought back memories. I had a feeling when you popped the Harbor Fright motor on that chassis it would scoot a bit faster. Turned out perfect! Now as far as longevity of that engine? I..........DON"T........KNOW. Probably better than a breaks and scrapem as Taryldactyl would say.
Rupp products have been responsible for more "kid" fun than maybe any other brand. Love it.
Thanks for another good one Mr. Mustie! That go-cart looks like a lot of fun! Glad to see it out running around again!
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome.
The colour scheme you have in mind would be perfect for this. You may as well complete your dream.
So thanks for taking me along on this build. ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.
smiles all around, awesome, that would be sooo much fun... build 2 more for your buddies and set up a track.
So awesome seeing a bunch of middle aged kids having fun with a go-cart in a parking lot. I tell you what, this done my 60 yr old heart the world of Good. Happy Mothers Day yo Mrs. Mustie1
