Guys that engine being made of aluminum and you mounting it solid like that you might want to make some type of rubber or urathane washers or mounts on the mounting points so as not to crack the engine case. If it's solid and torques in any direction it can crack the aluminum case which would really suck.
It was solid mounted in the first place. It's chain not shaft draft, so the torque reaction isn't the same. It travels through the axle/chain and therefore the only issue with it being solid mounted is vibration, but being a rotary that's not as much of a concern.
Garage floors are NOT level - the builder slopes them towards the big door so if the water heater or softener leaks it rolls down the drive way!!!! So placing the frame flat on the floor and then putting a level on it isn't getting it level..........
I can guarantee that dropping to the ground,without torque compensation.You guy's should hit 80+ with solidified frame.(You just stretched it's limits.PUN intended).Totally awesome job btw.I wish I could weld as well.Brace and Shield.Please.
You know some Mazda pickups came from the Factory with a Rotary. I built a Mazda 1000 pickup with a 12a rotary in the early 90's. The the 1000 ute was alot lighter than the factory RPU. Basically a pickup version of the R100
Mark Thomas mine was a Toyota 2wd I bought a motor and trans from a wrecked 86’ 13b I brought parts from Racing Beat like a side draft Weber but it was mostly Mazda it would smoke the Vetts and 5.0s at the time about 1988
You would want to try find a 'downdraft' carburetor for that engine--similar used on sportbikes in the 1980's to 1990's. You extract more power in the process; a straighter intake shot for the fuel flow is great.
Please reinforce those motor mounting points with gussets or tubing. The torque from the engine is going to either bend the tubes or break the welds. Can't wait to see the finished product.
I want to know more about your ignition system? I got an engine with broken ignition and need to build something like yours. What parts did you used and how is it all conected?
good job ! But, everything on that engine tells you it needs to be on the other side of the frame, so why ? xD The kickstart, the sprocket, the carburator ... it all works much better when the engine is on the left.
Asfodhell We thought about it, but putting it on the right of us makes the sprocket right by the bearing as well as makes the shifter linkage super easy. You could put it the other way though yeah.
You guys should turbo the rotary. I’m sure you guys know already but in a rotary every stroke is a power stroke so it’s basically a 3 piston engine. Not like a regular engine.
To keep the symmetry you need to consider the ratio of length to width. If the cart was 1 foot wide by 2 feet long adding 6" of width you would need to add 12" of length. That way the cart is 1.5' by 3' or 1.5/3 or reduced 1/2.
My only worry is that you have the drive chain on the outside and it's past the mount for the axle. There is no axle support and that engine will produce too much torque and bend your axle.
You said,'overhead center bar'?With that torque,you also need to cross from front left suspension,to that center,and down behind the motor,Also,just in front of the motor,on it's outer bar,to the left rear.Please,for YOUR Lives continuing."Scatter Shield" between you and the engine.Period ! 1/3" thick it's entire length.(Please everyone,watch a video of a clutch blowing at a drag strip).
That outside engine mount makes me nervous for the integrity of your motor. If you bounce that part of the frame off of a rock or the ground and bend it, could you break the engine case? That would be tragic.
Oh no when's the next upload gonna be because your updates are sporadic but you made me an addict like smoking crack rocks in a alley but I don't wanna be that guy who tells you when to upload could cause it to make and break your time reading this hindering your schedule. I ran out of steam sorry...
Who else waited for this video so long?
Amazing!

You guys know what rotaries love?
TURBOS!!!!
Ecotrons.com has an efi kit for a small engine like this, with a turbo this lil guy would be rowdy
Ya damn right they do!
Turbo in *Apex seals out*
Rusty Odyssey FL250 just like that kit that the boosted boys got for their cart
Yep.....LS swaps😂🤣😂

Christopher Haynie I was just about to comment the same thing but then I seen yours😂
Very common for motorcycle engines, such as this, to be solid mounted. I wouldn't be concerned
m00n piggy would be beyond extremely difficult to find parts for this engine. Better safe than very very sorry

everyone knows rotaries dont make torque lol , will be fine.
I'm a machanic and a construkcion worker and a machanic engener and I love to do awesom prodgets whit my friends 😎. Greetings from Slovenia 🇸🇮
Gašper Ajdnik that is cool
Tanks mate 😎 it IS cool
Consider adding a heat shield to that rotary arm rest... Maybe a cool looking carbon fiber/kao wool sandwich.
they are gonna find out how hot rotaries get!
I just noticed that you guys use face shields and gloves. I am seriously proud of you guys for that.
Can't wait to see the go kart finished
Ooooo cant wait to see the renown livery!
Putting a modern carburetor on it will make it alot better.
Mmmm mmm mmmmm. That intro song. And you know you are getting a treat :b
It's looking good, gonna be badass.
Looks terrifying!
Dang i cant wait to see the result
i hope this goes viral
Super stoked for this build!! Cant wait to hear this baby scream!
Definitely gonna need some triangles on that engine mount lol. Might also be worth adding some rubber bushings to dampen some of the vibration
Well done video guys.
Cant wait to see it finished 👍
Garage floors are NOT level - the builder slopes them towards the big door so if the water heater or softener leaks it rolls down the drive way!!!! So placing the frame flat on the floor and then putting a level on it isn't getting it level..........
but then how level has a engine have to be
Its a kart. Im sure it doesn't matter. Relax.
They are supposed to be tilted back at 4-8° anyway
Doing a great job. I would've extended the length of the frame to at least 12 inches.
Good stuff guys 🤘
Do a race between a 2 stroke and your rotary kart, 2 rev happy engines racing against eachother would be bad ass
Put a yd28 clone carb on it. It's a 45°angle flat slide carb. Works very well with horizontal engines.
You seriously need to show this to Rob Dahm.
He would probably 13B swap this kart :D
Amazing design and troubleshooting..always thinking ahead💪🏻
oh boy i've been waiting for this
Gonna be getting back to work on my race kart soon might think about making an introduction to my channel and showing everyone my projects
You guys do know the spark from that MIG welder will stick to the glass of that Mustang right
Had it happen to a friend's car and it was bad. It even screwed up the paint!
But I love you guys's videos good content getting much better
I only watch this project its y I subscribed cant wait for next one on this.
I can guarantee that dropping to the ground,without torque compensation.You guy's should hit 80+ with solidified frame.(You just stretched it's limits.PUN intended).Totally awesome job btw.I wish I could weld as well.Brace and Shield.Please.
Have tou guys thought about trying to upgrade engine cooling? Even trying to run it on e85 with premix castor oil would help with temps.
about time you come out with a new video
Good job
Make some rubber mounts for it since its aluminium hard mounts might crack the engine case
You guys are awesome I bought a shirt I built a Rotory pickup way back before the internet
You know some Mazda pickups came from the Factory with a Rotary. I built a Mazda 1000 pickup with a 12a rotary in the early 90's. The the 1000 ute was alot lighter than the factory RPU. Basically a pickup version of the R100

So is this thing going to be called the little Dorito
So Awesome Guys, This thing is gunna Rip.
You would want to try find a 'downdraft' carburetor for that engine--similar used on sportbikes in the 1980's to 1990's. You extract more power in the process; a straighter intake shot for the fuel flow is great.
Nice engine dude..to make sure faster gear shift paddle shifter is the best..just my 2 n 1/2 cents opinion..btw good luck dude
Such a cool build!
Is this part 4 or part 1 ?? Love the vid
Please reinforce those motor mounting points with gussets or tubing. The torque from the engine is going to either bend the tubes or break the welds. Can't wait to see the finished product.
With that frame you could make the worlds first collapseable go-kart
Sick!
Cool
Cool build, probably could use some triangulation on the motor mounts though
How are u going to do the axle. Ur gunna need to find a axle long enough to accommodate the widening that u did.
Overkill
Soon it will be time to grip it and rip it. Use some grip tape on the pan. It is like icing a cake. Getting it as usual guys.
I want to know more about your ignition system? I got an engine with broken ignition and need to build something like yours. What parts did you used and how is it all conected?
can wait to see this build completed
Holy crap, the moment I’ve been waiting for
i think you are missing 3 rotors
😂😂😂😂 Hell yeah
Make it five!
@@ruikazane5123 oh lord a 6 rotor?
where did you get the engine?
Piece of advice idk how much power that engine makes but you might want to add some more suport to the frame of the kart
You guys should have put the engine on the other side, it would've been easier to kickstart it and run the chain
Same thought I had
Have you considered paddle shifters
good job !
But, everything on that engine tells you it needs to be on the other side of the frame, so why ? xD
The kickstart, the sprocket, the carburator ... it all works much better when the engine is on the left.
Asfodhell We thought about it, but putting it on the right of us makes the sprocket right by the bearing as well as makes the shifter linkage super easy. You could put it the other way though yeah.
Love this build so much ! Can’t wait to hear it go 😂
LIT VID ITS DOPE 🔥
The cnc I run at work is made by a Italian company named biesse I wonder if it's the same biesse that makes that kart. Let me know if u have any info.
You guys should turbo the rotary. I’m sure you guys know already but in a rotary every stroke is a power stroke so it’s basically a 3 piston engine. Not like a regular engine.
I think the side bar is going to be in the way of the tire when turned left. Hard to tell from the video but it looks too close.
Looks like the old STP turbine Indy car.
Should've lengthened the cart more. Its a ratio so adding 6 inches to both dimensions throws it off, but its not that big of a deal
Buy a tig boys, really. . . You'll love it
Just a thanks for being different.
To keep the symmetry you need to consider the ratio of length to width. If the cart was 1 foot wide by 2 feet long adding 6" of width you would need to add 12" of length. That way the cart is 1.5' by 3' or 1.5/3 or reduced 1/2.
at least im not the only person that works in sperrys
That's the power should be! 😉
Hey genius. Whats going to happen when you try and turn right?
Wats is music for 00:05
Whats happend to turbo engine????
Would recommend those nice go power sports gussets for the engine mounts plus I really liked the Chevy Truck that picked up the cart
It will go really fast like a 120 kph
It’s happening.
Love your videos...what editing software do you use??
You really should use solid plugs
Yeaaaaaaaaaas
My only worry is that you have the drive chain on the outside and it's past the mount for the axle. There is no axle support and that engine will produce too much torque and bend your axle.
Why is the engine so high
Where in the hell do u find racing frames for under 600 bucks
*Rob Dahm has entered the chat.*
Title says part 4? Is this part 1?
add a turbo, rotary's love boost.
Any one known the intro song??

Please send your old pender to me
Check out Team Boosted
1-Rotor Porsche Speedster
YESSSSSSSSSS 👌👌👌😱😱😱
I've been waiting
Def getting the rotary shirt
Mail that bender to me...small time tuber
Theres a person making a 1 rotor 13b and putting it in a car, yall should make a 1 rotor 13b and put it in a mini bike
People have been making single Rotary engines fit in light Aircraft (ie - ultralights) for years.
Can u custom make a body to go over your go kart? Like a mini lambo or something ?
It would be tough, maybe a fiberglass specialist could do it

this vs ddm
this wins

Nice frame but my ass would not fit in that seat, LOL.
Yessssss
