Do you think someone who is 6’5” 280 could drive this? I am looking at getting one with a 9hp engine (John Deere model) for my wife to truck my 2 year old around the yard. But I might want to drive it a little too of course.
It finally feels like you two are 'home'! It hit me finally at 02:10 when you two on each side of the Dingo, Ike looking so proud, John so happy.. sitting in front of the green cabinets.. you guys are home. Congratulations! Take care :)
Dingos are awesome! I had one when I was a kid. It came with a 8hp briggs (flat head) and was later upgraded to a 10hp tecumseh. I rode the literal wheels off that rig for ten years of my young life. This video makes me remember smelling like gas and mud😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁Awesome memories. Thanks for posting.
When I was a kid in the 80’s there was a neighborhood kid that had one of these awesome little machines. His was black with gold wheels but it didn’t have the full roll cage. The kid would never let anyone ride it but seeing him ride it up and down the road made me always want one.
Just picked up a two seater dingo with the 13 horse Honda GX390, got it running but just waiting on a few parts to arrive to ride it. Can’t wait after watching these dingo videos. 👍
been watching you guys since i was 10 before you guys got kicked out the headquarters and proud to say that last week i ordered a ct100x with plans to 212cc swap it but woke up a few days ago and found a frame with wheels for $65 and now it’s my project!!!
Solid! It makes me want to get a cheap cart, but California won't allow that. Just glad i get away with a motorized ratcycle and my electric moped. I get away with a lot just by them being cool. Idea: Keep a running list (at time of air/post) in the descriptions below with links to vehicles. Good for new viewers and viewings of older vehicles. Keep em coming fellas!
So very stoked, I fixed and sold my manko dominator and ordered a coleman 196 adding a stage 1 perf. kit for my 12 yo and 2 younger boys to play with. Comes in todayyyyyy.
I love the chemistry between you two. This Chanel is AWESOME and I’ve been watching for a long time. You guys deserve your own tv show. Keep up the excellent content!
This is first time i remember John showing a little of the house and the street out front....very interesring! Looks like a neat ranch house kinda in suburbia/country but with a HUGE BY LARGE Back yard! Great choice. So much potential in that there yard. I see a 60×40 steel truss building in the near future. Maybe then you boys can add some automotive to the channel name! Keep up the good work
You guys make it look so easy, love the videos. I'm currently converting a old 13hp harbor freight motor to electric start and its giving me fits. I'm building it for my daughter, I want her to be able to start and kill the motor from the driver's seat, hopefully we'll get her done soon 👍🇺🇸
Id get one of these solely because its made by Manco. Decal the hell out of it with the Manco logo from Team Fortress 2. Great video, thanks for sharing.
when I was a kid I had a mini bike with a McCullough shoe box kart engine and when you punched it it would put you on your back but we clocked it at 70 mph, one bad dude.
You should take an aerial photo of the property either using a drone or Google maps satellite view and trace out your track layouts. I'm always curious about what the route looks like when you do your time attack runs. Because we can't really see much once you leave the start line. I think that would be really neat. Keep up the amazing work.
Find the electric eyes from a overhead garage door. Make an electronic Start/Finish line. Run the wire over a big overhead drivethrough sign. I have lots of plans for your personal money! HAHA
Manco is known for hexagonal axles, I had a go kart with the hexagonal axle, I prefer them more actually, because with a lot of power and torque, it greatly reduces the risk of breaking a key (because there isn't one) and it has pozi. But you're limited to rim's and tire size, because of the shape of the rim.
I had a dingo but it didn’t have a roll cage. We took the 6hp Briggs off and installed a 12.5hp. Upgraded the torque converter and boom, the baddest kart in the neighborhood
that's a nice hot wheels go kart I am actually getting one like that soon Edit: I just GOT mine a week ago SHE IS FAST, HOT WHEELS, AND LOTS OF FUN 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Hi guys. I put the same Mikuni carb kit from Amazon on the same 6 hp Tecumseh. I had the same results as you guys except for when the engine gets a few hundred RPM above the rated factory speed the engine bogs and cuts off unless you throttle back. If you throttle back the engine smooths out and will run all day. You can take off at full throttle and the engine accelerates like a beast but when it reaches that certain rpm you have to let off for it to smooth out. It seems like it’s not getting enough gas to support the high engine speed. Would re jetting the carb fix this? If so do you know the procedure for re jetting it and where can I get the jets?
Most definitely, your engine spinning at a higher rpm means more air intake, which means you need more gas flow to compensate for the higher air intake
Tecumseh engines; Stock they do ok but they do a whole lot better once the governor is bypassed or removed. Port out the intake manifold a little bit and tighten the valve lashings and replace the stock muffler with a straight pipe header. The mikuni Carb is a must with a straight pipe exhaust. If yall swap that stock muffler with a straight pipe, tighten the valve lashing and bypass that governor, yall will notice a huge difference in power. Speaking from personal experience here... I promise you guys, you will not be disappointed.
I just did a series on my channel of fixing up my Manco Dingo IX! It was my very first motorized machine when I was a kid and is still in great shape. It’s got the 9hp Briggs and Stratton and Rips pretty good. The only downside is the lack of suspension so I’m taking the motor from it and transplanting it on a Baja 65 cart frame that has full suspension, rack and piñon steering, and hydraulic brakes. Should be a much nicer riding cart than the Dingo!
So I’m looking to buy a used go-kart frame,something I can start from scratch to build for my son ? Was wondering if you guys could help me out and steer me in the right direction to purchase one ?
Thought the hex axles were pretty standard on most or all Dingo's, or at least the older ones. I jumped my 13hp "high performance" one and it hasn't bent yet, and I'm 200lbs.
Only reason mine bent was a friend clipped a tree at 35mph only caught like 3 inches or so. All the leverage bent it easily. My dad brought it to his work and put in press he straitened it. The guy i sold mine too put a 3 inch wider axle on it and stretched it added rear swingarm was much better for big guys and smoother with just rear suspension
Awesome video we have a few manco dingo buggys got my first manco dingo 8hp Briggs Stratton off the showroom floor 1994 and have had it every since growing up as a kid i always wanted to race my buggy at motocross tracks and they didn't have a mini buggy class every since side by sides got popular in the ATV world a lot of motocross tracks have a adult and kids Mini Buggy Class we race 2 manco dingo buggys a manco silver fox a hammer head 150 a Yamaha raptor 350 and Yamaha raptor 50cc
Every karting enthusiast needs a Dingo at some point, they're so much FUN!!

@THISMAYBEOFFENSIVE You should be able to fit 😃 I have one and it's very roomy I'm 5,11 and I've got like a foot between me and the roll bar
It finally feels like you two are 'home'! It hit me finally at 02:10 when you two on each side of the Dingo, Ike looking so proud, John so happy.. sitting in front of the green cabinets.. you guys are home. Congratulations! Take care :)
I just bought this exact same model Manco Dingo for $100 the other day! I’m still excited about it! I’m 43 and this is my first go kart! Love it!
Me and my brother had dingo karts in the 80s over the pond here in UK... they had briggs n stratton engines on :D
Mine was 1989 with briggs 8hp & 40 series torque converter.
Mine is as well
still got mine! had it for 25yrs!
The look on Ike's face when he won rock, paper, scissors was priceless. 😃
Love the show fun to whatch
Buy
Dingos are awesome!
I had one when I was a kid. It came with a 8hp briggs (flat head) and was later upgraded to a 10hp tecumseh. I rode the literal wheels off that rig for ten years of my young life. This video makes me remember smelling like gas and mud😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁Awesome memories. Thanks for posting.
Are 212cc pull engines better than the start keys? Im having shit load of problems with the TREX 125cc go cart from china. I dont know what to do.
Finally some dingo content.
I should really fix mine up
Lol
Just did a series on my channel of fixing up my Dingo IX! It was the very first motorized buggy I got when I was 12!
It's the Circle of Offroading: get everything clean so you can get everything dirty.
We cleaned it after!
When I was a kid in the 80’s there was a neighborhood kid that had one of these awesome little machines. His was black with gold wheels but it didn’t have the full roll cage. The kid would never let anyone ride it but seeing him ride it up and down the road made me always want one.
Dingo is the most relatable build to what you're viewers can do. Bring it back again.
Had a dingo just like this about 20 years ago. Those are surprisingly capable. Looks great with those rims and tires!!
I have a Dingo myself, and I can vouch for it! Lots of fun but very rough. I want to see that 23HP 228cc on this Dingo. That would be crazy.
I have the same exact kart with a power wheels body on it. 25yrs with no governor in it and it just won’t die!! Love the dingo
john lookin like he got that million dollar mullet when those glasses were on his head. I dig it, I vote he gets a mullet.
Hell yeah, brother!
Hes got a fro. Jerry curls would be funny
I can’t lie I’ve been thinking about it
@@CarsandCameras lol u should do it. I think they look cooler when u have curly hair too.
Add a pressure washer to your shopping list.. you’ll thank me later 👍🏻
Thank] you and proper air compressor, welding table and some wireless mics so the audio does suck on the videos.
@@Hoggdoc1946 you should buy all these things and make a better video then them then you can talk sheeeet
Just picked up a two seater dingo with the 13 horse Honda GX390, got it running but just waiting on a few parts to arrive to ride it. Can’t wait after watching these dingo videos. 👍

the dingo is one of my favorite karts. ive wanted one ever since i was a kid in the early 90s getting those newspaper style gokart magazines.
This takes me back. The Dingo was my very first Gocart as a kid.
Anyone else like these videos before they even watch them? 😂 I check RUclips everyday for new vids by you guys. Great work
Solid! It makes me want to get a cheap cart, but California won't allow that. Just glad i get away with a motorized ratcycle and my electric moped. I get away with a lot just by them being cool.

Finally! Someone doing a Manco Dingo build!
So very stoked, I fixed and sold my manko dominator and ordered a coleman 196 adding a stage 1 perf. kit for my 12 yo and 2 younger boys to play with. Comes in todayyyyyy.
Those jumps and bouncing along every other turn reminds me of myself when I built go carts back in the day! Makin ruts and jumps where the best!
Darn cool, how your channel is more like a tv show, I really like how Ike is being the fellow commentator, with expression.
That Manco looks like a ton of fun!
I have 2 of these same GoKarts. We did a full Suspension upgrade and made it a single seat sand rail.
Wow all the memories i have on one of these. And the lump on the inside of my leg to this day from the steering loop.
Had a dingo years ago. It was great. But very rough ride. Good times good times. Keep up these videos!
Came back to this channel after a couple years, I forgot how great it is!
I havent touched my dingo since I got a fl350 odyssey😁 Night & day! doesnt beat up your body like a dingo does!! Way fster and pure joy!!!
This is what were talking about boys. Great video!!!! Literally the reason me and my friend's watch. Keep up the awesome work.
I love the chemistry between you two. This Chanel is AWESOME and I’ve been watching for a long time. You guys deserve your own tv show. Keep up the excellent content!
I loved my dingo. Bought brandnew 1989. Had an 8hp briggs on it with 40 series torque converter. Mine only had cage over motor as u see in my pic
FUN VID! You guys need earpices. Com system or phone for live callin' hot laps! Maybe even a monitored GoPro at base for live viewin' hot lap action.
Thanks Gopowersports. Com for giving these brothers something to work with.
Hey guys, I love your videos. I’ve been watching for a real long time: I’m looking forward to future projects🙂
This was a excellent old school cars and cameras episode. keep it up
That is definitely be a fun cart.
Good one guys thanks for sharing.
Central California watching
I love that kart too, I would love to see it with a high-revving small displacement engine to keep it light and nimble. Looks like fun!
Holy smokes! Freeze-frame at 11:17, Ike you look like you just got your first big-wheel on Christmas morning!!!!
I just went and swapped to a 212 and did a stage 1 upgrade and the thing is such a great little kart it's a nice hill climber!
HAAAAAAAHAHAAAA That Looked SO FUN! Great Episode fellas! You guys are having So Much Fun!
Love it when Ike goes into BEAST MODE!
I always get excited when you guys are working on the manco dingo because it is the only go-kart I have and it needs a lot of work keep it up
This is first time i remember John showing a little of the house and the street out front....very interesring! Looks like a neat ranch house kinda in suburbia/country but with a HUGE BY LARGE Back yard!
Great choice. So much potential in that there yard. I see a 60×40 steel truss building in the near future. Maybe then you boys can add some automotive to the channel name! Keep up the good work
create a grand prix alt track with smooth dirt for karts not meant for extreme offroad
Would be cool if they could eventually make a paved track, maybe even a 1/8 drag strip.
Love those Manco go-carts...Sturdy and good, straight from the factory
You guys make it look so easy, love the videos. I'm currently converting a old 13hp harbor freight motor to electric start and its giving me fits. I'm building it for my daughter, I want her to be able to start and kill the motor from the driver's seat, hopefully we'll get her done soon 👍🇺🇸

"It even smells neglected"
"Oh sorry, I couldn't help myself...oh...ohh"
I have the exact same cart with the stock 5 hp engine and I love it
I’m glad you got that Tecumseh on there. 👍
You should take an aerial photo of the property either using a drone or Google maps satellite view and trace out your track layouts. I'm always curious about what the route looks like when you do your time attack runs. Because we can't really see much once you leave the start line. I think that would be really neat.

Lol "your gonna love it here" always a good time with you guys
Thank you for not sticking a predator on it. Always cool to see something different

Those jumps were epic
Lol I was just looking at the channel and wondering if y'all were gonna post
Bro I literally thought that John was timing John on that first lap lol
What multi tool do you use just before 13:00? Thanks
It looks like a Leatherman, but it's hard to tell for sure.
that's a nice hot wheels go kart I am actually getting one like that soon
Edit: I just GOT mine a week ago SHE IS FAST, HOT WHEELS, AND LOTS OF FUN 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I love watching these guys they got me into fixing my coleman ct200u mini up.

Really great vid! My Murray has a 6.5 Tecumseh and I put a 22mm mikuni carburetor on it like you guys! Thanks for the idea!!
I got to say all your builds are awesome but I like these videos the best 👌 back to the basics
Gotta love restoring a classic.
Love the little "stories from Isaac" segments
I took a go kart just like that and put a yzf600 engine on it lol those axles are tough @9:30
Cant wait to see what you guys do with the tractor at that place. maybe put a culvert in at the crossing?
Well thank you I did not know that about the belt learn something every day great videos.

I love how like was so kind to that little guy in the end ,great video it made me want to fix my manco

I like these basic old school builds. It would be bad ass to throw sum a little more powerful on there
That last run was awesome. Ike got some air.
This is probably my favorite youtube channel
Thanks
A day at yalls workshop would be like goin to damn disneyland!!! Old school bowties for days....gokarts...FOR DAYS... Just pure fun to get into!!!
So I’m looking to buy a used go-kart frame,something I can start from scratch to build for my son ? Was wondering if you guys could help me out and steer me in the right direction to purchase one ?
Most of the Yerf Dog frames are built pretty nicely. Good project platforms.
Thought the hex axles were pretty standard on most or all Dingo's, or at least the older ones. I jumped my 13hp "high performance" one and it hasn't bent yet, and I'm 200lbs.
Only reason mine bent was a friend clipped a tree at 35mph only caught like 3 inches or so. All the leverage bent it easily. My dad brought it to his work and put in press he straitened it. The guy i sold mine too put a 3 inch wider axle on it and stretched it added rear swingarm was much better for big guys and smoother with just rear suspension
My 88 dingo has a round live axle on it. I dont know how old they get but 88 pretty old
I don’t know how old mine is but it has hex axle and wasn’t easy to find hub
No spinning a key on a hex axel👍
Go powersports has hex hubs ,bearings and axles . I actually like them better
I think the color is cool too.
As always great video and nice upgrades. Now I have to rethink my Dingo
You guy’s should have a sand bag John has to attach to the go karts so that it’s strictly skill based.
Just bolt some big magnets 🧲 to the sand bag so you can stick it to the floor panel and easily switch karts with it.
We want to see the stage 3 motor on there,replace the axel first ... Love your channel !
You guys can put hinges on your attic steps. And a rope and pulley. Old aluminum ladder, works best. You can free up a little space there.
Awesome video we have a few manco dingo buggys got my first manco dingo 8hp Briggs Stratton off the showroom floor 1994 and have had it every since growing up as a kid i always wanted to race my buggy at motocross tracks and they didn't have a mini buggy class every since side by sides got popular in the ATV world a lot of motocross tracks have a adult and kids Mini Buggy Class we race 2 manco dingo buggys a manco silver fox a hammer head 150 a Yamaha raptor 350 and Yamaha raptor 50cc
Nice job on the Manco guys! I would definitely swap rear axles and eventually the motor for a predator.
This vid got that good ol CarsandCameras feel to it
Loved it! A wee bit damp, but it looked like fun.
i have a manco dingo with a 8hp briggs with a torque converter it is awesome
This is cool, I had one of these when I was a kid and it also had a stupid amount of blow by lol
congrats ike on finally 🎉winning🎉 rock paper scissors
I had one of these growing up. Kept breaking the roll cage on both sides by the headrest lol.
Ike's face was priceless when he won paper rock scissors! 😂 Awesome video 👍
Man those tires fit right with that kind kart.
Love them Tecumseh engines! ❤️
Dingo rear wheels are the same as the Cross Kart’s rear wheels😂
The tires on the cross kart are wayy too small. Barely look big enough on the Dingo.
