We're back with another go karting 101 video! So you bought your first go kart, installed a 212cc engine (ours is a Tillotson 212), and you want to increase your go kart's performance. These are our five essential go kart mods if you want more power and a higher top speed! First, we remove the 212's governor. It's recommended that you install a high-RPM rated flywheel and a billet rod when removing the governor, because you're going from the factory engine speed of 3600 RPM to around 5500 RPM. Second, we replace the restrictive factory exhaust with a high flow header, install a larger carburetor jet, and add a K&N style intake. Finally, we put a smaller rear sprocket on this old go kart to decrease acceleration and increase top speed. With all of these mods, we went from a 40 second dry lap to a 35 second wet lap around the OG CarsandCameras Grand Prix. Talk about a HUGE improvement!
Thanks for Watching!

John's hair has reached Bob Ross status.
Dude's gonna be installing some happy little cams any day now
Best comment of the day , no the week, fosho
Remember Bob Ross Used to be a Drill Sergeant so at you time he yelled. I doubt John was ever close to being in the military. Unless you count Junior ROTC!
Lol
In the words of James Pumphrey "mo poweh baby"
Yes lmao
If only he could do a vid on predator motors
Yes😂
I keep asking them to do more off-road vehicles smaller stuff
Hey anybody here into mechanical stuff 😝
Gotta have mo' cowbell baby!
Even after doing this for almost five years, I still have a BLAST ripping this budget friendly old go kart around the yard!
Can you respond i will literally cry if you do or sub to my channel you guys inspireme
Sams Moto Vlogs go away baby.
Carsandcameras I have a 5hp Briggs flat head mini bike it runs great but smokes a lot I figured the valve seals r bad n it’s burning oil but I’m wondering what else can I do too get more power ive removed the governor n put a 22mm mikuni carb on it what else can I do?
Yeah me too
Ok
I only discovered you guys about 6 months ago. I'd never been to RUclips before (I'm 55 and square. Round, but square). I've now watched all your old episodes, and I'm hooked. I look forward to every Monday and Wednesday, I just wish you did them Fridays too!
Nice!!
We would if we had a few more hours in the day!
Keep riding 🤟
I have been watching for all of those 5 years!
i've been watching for about 3
Not being mean but John reminds me of the burglar from home alone
Mini, younger Daniel Stern
There is a security guard at my grandparents place his name is John and he look like John If he gained 70 lbs
Jewish, that's the word you are looking for. I personally think he looks French.
He reminds me of Bob Ross. John. got scissors? You are supposed to wear a helmet, not grow one.
That’s all I can think of now when I watch this 😂😂
Gosh I wish I had parts like that laying around like you guys have.
It doesn't happen overnight. All it takes is a little space and a hoarding mentality. LOL!
CHEERS!
IF YOU HOARDED AS MANY YEARS AS ISSAC, YOU COULD. IL BET WE HAVENT SEEN A TENTH OF THE GOODIES ISSAC HAS STACHED AWAY. SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE.
Start a business like this, and the parts just start piling up. :)
You Can achieve this. Its easy man. Save your pennies and do the simple mods first and get to learn it all. Keep at it and before you know it you will be building performance mini's or go carts for your friends.
Just stay with it my man
As COVID continues, John is slowly turning into Bob Ross. :)
You mean PBS Bob Ross, "The Pussy Machine" ??
Next video John-Bob Ross will be painting a Predator-engine with trees and a mountain in the background...
DarkLinkAD The one and only!
THATS WHERE HE WENT
When will the trophy truck bulid be back? I also love the remote control cart.
Monday!
You guys should definitely make a go cart with a horizontal engine from a riding lawn mower!
Yes
Been there done that; check their 670cc go kart
No use a vertical 708 cc preadotor
Cutting edge idea from the Chevy Corvair using twisted belt technology.
Did it! All but the gear change. And was able to get this kart you to 33mph, man what a rush! It zips. Next necessity is suspension, especially though the open fields.
Thanks guys for doing this. 👍
I love your guys’ builds! You have inspired me to start my own RUclips channel. I just built a rally car!
It looks bad ass.
Bet it's fun as hell
Where's your channel I'll subscribe 😁
Hear me out, good video and presentation and all... I was born Sept 5th 1990 and the background is giving me serious nostalgic vibes, days of sitting in the shop with my dad and grandpa working ALL day and never getting bored EVER
What a cool project boys
This is the stuff that got me watching and learning from. Great job. I’m headed out to upgrade my troybuilt mower. Did a gear swap now the motor mods. Thanks guys for all the fun and interesting content. BTW get a table please. You guys are killing me !!!
Love the step by step, almost instructional style of this vid. MORE PLEASE!!
Truly my favorite episode ever this is where you guys need to continue in my opinion it thank you
When I started watching y’all’s channel I knew nothing about these engines or mini bikes/gokarts so thank y’all for all you have taught me!
Just received my fathers day gift of a Cars and Camera tshirt and a bunch of stickers. So happy. One of the Coolest part to me was the personal note telling me my shirt was in another bag, and the signed sticker. Love the personal touch guys. Keep up the great videos me and my boys love watching you guys. And as always Itll Be Fine!
This must have been filmed before the R/C Kart Fiasco lol. Or they undid it all already... Cant wait to see more! Keep up the great work guys.
That thing is a rocket, I love it. I'd love to see that frame and steering wheel all cleaned up and just have this whole thing looking cherry af.
I always enjoy the competition you guys have so I actually look at The Times. the best I could see was it was 35.35 seconds just before the line and 35.38 just after the line. Can't wait to get my 5 boys carting.
Watching your videos got me and my brother to Build 2 minibikes and buy a gokart (with a smaller engine) just in need for the 212s for the bikes and larger for the kart and we’ll start trying to do what you guys are doing, thanks for the inspiration!
I have watched every video you guys have made! Keep up the good work! You inspired me to create my own channel and do a lawn mower build.
Getting ready to rebuild the go cart I had as a kid great video
Great video love these ones
great video. I always learn a lot from you guys
When you mentioned twin 2 strike it reminded me of a weird idea I had of using two yd100 (I think) 80cc bicycle engines but each powering one wheel so you almost have a differential effect, probablely expensive for the speed but I think it'd be pretty sick
Very fun video. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Awesome video guys
This is great! You guys need a smooth dirt and grass track at the new HQ.
This was a great video guys you are the best in the game
Great C&C info film!
This is really helpful especially since I am thinking of getting one I don’t know how i just stumbled upon this vid since I’ve been subbed for a decent amount of time but it’s whatever. Great vid
You’re videos are awesome keep it up
You guys have inspired me to build/fabricate my own go kart out of an old snapper rear rider mower
Love the vintage wheels on that kart, they are getting scarce.
Consider a 'wheel restoration' video where you pull, disassemble, recondition, polish, and pimp with bling...
Also have been watching since you guys started the channel always have had a love for mini bikes and go-karts since I was a little kid always look forward to your guys's new videos
In this video, John looks like a young version of Bob Ross the happy painter... Listen as John paints us a pretty metal picture of the items that will be used in today's build. Then I notice this Zak Kat below me has a Bob Ross profile photo. IRONIC. Legend, Iconic... lol
Whats going on with the trophy cart build!!!! Your killing me with the suspense hahah!!!
Tune in Monday!
Great vid guys! Lov to watch every one that u both throw on here! I have the same frame as ike's brother! An old streaker i call CookieMonster. Tillitson 212r with MG Slicks and 71t sprocket
That’s a mint ride!👌💯
Thanks I so wanted this video
It's be awesome to see y'all do a predator 420 build on a cart like that. I have one that's about twice as heavy and a 420 would be perfect. Still as always great video
Should have turned the filter around the other way (ram air) . 🤘😁👍
Great video
Wouldnt make any change at all
I’m gonna get BACK in the habit of watching your Channel. 💛You guys
That thing is awesome!!
I love this channel i always watch it because i race go karts in PA
You two have the most fun.
Great video keep it up guys😃
Cars and cameras is the best go kart RUclips channel, they teach how to build and improve your go kart its an helpful channel as well
That looks fun, we're fixing up ours now
Didn't have any luck with the. 037 jet with the stage 1 build. Idled great once you have it gas it cut out. I switched it with a VM22. It probably needed a .050 main jet with the stock carburetor. Running a 150 main jet, and a 30 pilot jet in the VM22. Runs perfect.
Hey guys I love when you get the old karts and mini bikes I worked on my aunt's neighbors lawnmower and in return they gave me a late 60's early 70's dune cycle once I figure out how to put a picture on your comments I will from what research I've done it seems to be all stock except for the engine
Got to love it
looking good seems little tight on the valve after those modification but awsome !
I really like the videos and the builds! Have you ever thought of trying an ELECTRIC build?
A bit confused on the throttle set up, I have a 212 I want to remove the governor on. Would like to know how you hooked up the linkage and return spring still using the governor arm.
Hank Hill’s Go Kart Mods ! Good video tho very informative the 212cc predator is the most popular that I’ve seen amongst beginners karts
There is something about that little cart. It is REALLY COOL!
It was a blast doing it ha ha puns 😂🤘🏻
Used to watch theses guys 3 years ago and boy do I miss them
Can u do a video explaining perfect gearing on what I am looking for whether I want max top speed or max acceleration or a perfect in between?
You guys are always taking shortcuts 😂😂
Good video guys
On racing lawnmowers we leave the governor in it and just over ride the linkage going off governor linkage. This way it will idle real smooth or you can set it to a high idle so power doesn't completely drop out going into a corner or go to low in RPMs when coming out of the corner.
It was y’all that got me into small engines and go karts. i’m really glad you did, too: it’s boosted my youtube channel from 250!!!
@@motorisedmayhem7079 basically just keep on truckin’. don’t stop making videos just be persistent and you’ll grow.
John's parents were probably missing all the yard damage... 😁
Side cover is 22 inch pounds. I use my milwaukee cordless to snug up then throw the familiar 10mm socket on my cheap harbor freight in/lb torque wrench with 1/4 drive. Then figure out an even pattern and tighten side cover without using the grunt method.
I dont mind that method im just saying if i save the original gasket i coat it ever so lightly with grease on the side it didnt stick to. Torque even with torque wrench to 22in/lbs and you can pull that side cover 15 times with same gasket.
Edit: 5 seconds improvement is Huge. Y'all who have not done these simple mods yet Will be pleasantly suprised
Is that Bob Ross on a go kart?
Pretty little kart...
Jons time was 35 38. If you freeze frame the video at 13 minutes 37ish I think. That cart would go and look a lot cooler with some off road tires maybe slightly bigger rims. Nice vid. Thanks for the share.
Great video, l like the gokart, did the same upgrades to my predator 212, (non-hemi) and the choke lever is only like a quarter open, any more and the mini bike takes off by itself. Not sure if it’s normal after doing the upgrades.
I have that exact Nova! Do a video on it!
Awesome 👍 guys
3:53 wow that cut was seamless it almost looked like it only took him a few seconds to find a 10mm
Would you need a big or small sprocket in hill areas?
Saludos desde Barranquilla Colombia,!!!!
Love that cart! I just wish it was a foot longer. Same with nearly every cart I've looked at. I'm both too tall, and wide lol
Any plans on bringing back the lifan shifter kart for some engine mods? I've got the same engine in my shed and I would love to learn some stuff about it 👀
Have you guys found the stock JF200 motor to make a lot of valve noise? Also the connecting rod has a lot of side to side action leading to some weird noises when accelerating or decelerating. Is this by design or did I get a bum engine? Is it the governor gear making all the whining? I've gone through my entire motor, I have the governor still in on setting 4 and stage 1 set up. I added 18# springs and removed them again to see if it made a difference, the motor seems to like the stock springs better but even after lashing over and over I'm getting lots of valve/engine noise. Would a 6 degree key cause premature detonation? I'm referring to the HiangDong on the Trailmaster.
hey guys, love the vids! I just recently picked up a 1977 Honda Odyssey for $100 and I've been wanting some tips and parts for my build and I was just thinking that you guys should maybe do a build or restoration on one. just an idea.
it would definitly be a cool build
You guys really really need to do a proper full size/close to full size dirt bike build. Besides just the fact that we'd enjoy it, I think it would grab a whole different viewer base, that being the people interested exclusively in dirt bikes.
Just a suggestion!
I got a homelight 196 on my older medal body Baja worrier, I didn't fully remove the governor just unhooked it from the carb and I've been trying to blow the motor ever since😂 it just holds on I haven't noticed I power decrease yet but I got a old mini bike I scored for 50$ that just so happens to have a 212 predator on it, I'll send Issac some pictures of it on Instagram I think y'all would like to have it. Love the channel man been here for a minute and dont plan on leaving till the end💯🤞🏼
Hi I was wondering if it's possible to get a 420 motor to do a consistent 55mph for about a 10 miles drive. If so what stage kit , sprockets, and drive would I need to do so. I'm trying to stay with a single piston motor. Im thinking it would be better to use a pit bike motor with a big bore kit. What is you opinions thanks for your time and reply.👍👌✌️😎. PS Im about 155 pounds and it would be a mini bike build.
What do you recommend for my kids go kart, (200 cc Coleman CK196). We live in the El Paso desert. The kart gets stuck in the thick sand. Was thinking of an 8” wheel and atv tire. What else would it need to not burn up the clutch, have strong torque for the sand and hills and decent top end speed?
Dang! It been five years?!
Every time they start this cart it sounds exactly like their intro.
You Can Go Even Faster If You Reduce Viscosity In The Oil, Just Put Half A Glass Of Gas In The Oil.
Hello i have in my go kart a clone 6,5 without gobernor with race exhaust and fake mikuni ,which size of jet i have to put in ,thanks
I have two questions. Can you please tell me why the governor is being removed? What does it do to remove it? I also bought an engine of this brand 212 cc and for some reason it seems to be getting stuck inside the engine.
All that talking you could have had the tank off 😂😂
Planning a kart build, cant decide between centrifugal clutch and torque converter. Going to be some kind of trike/atv
I really wish you showed how to do that throttle return spring lol
The bright orange Sears go cart I bought in the mid 70s (for $525 brand new) had a 5hp Tecumseh. Even to my ten yr old butt, it was slow as mud. Dad was able to adjust the throttle linkage to give it a little more poop.
Yay!
Let’s go more powah baby !!!!!
Man she was cooking with oil fo sho !!!!!
I still prefer the "It'll Be Fine Raceway" over OG CarsandCameras Grand Prix!
Thanks
Thanks guys!! I’m just starting to build my own kart from scratch and it’s got a 6.5 hp and it’s gonna be a little slow
i subed
A tip on that damned little clip in the governor gear is to take a flat head screwdriver and slide it between the stud in the center and the inside edge of the clip. Pop the screwdriver with your hand or a rubber mallet and sorta pry at the clip at the same time to pop it out. It should come out in pieces and then pull the gear out.
