    This here reminds me of my childhood, right down to the fat tire ATCs. Your son will forever appreciate the time and effort you spent to show him how to build/repair/innovate things and will likely never have to pay a mechanic.

    • @balabay77
      @balabay77  8 лет назад +2

      I certainly hope so. Many teens are high tech savvy but when it comes to working with their hands, not all are mechanically inclined. These days everything is made somewhere else therefore skilled jobs are becoming absolute.

  • @locomojo0485
    @locomojo0485 8 лет назад +1

    Awesome!!! I did this same project at nearly the same time. Crazy... Mine was to a 1988 Yamaha Blaster stripped frame with good plastics and tires for $50. I ended up with a little over $300 in it. Original front brakes work great. So sold the rear caliper for $50-60. (I forget) Had to cut the frame and reweld it some. Mounted up the Predator 212, and bought an ebay torque converter. The blaster has the sprocket on the left so I didn't need the jackshaft. I used the original 520 chain, just bought a different front sprocket to fit converter. Fun little ATV for a kid.

    • @balabay77
      @balabay77  8 лет назад

      +locomojo0485
      The good thing about this conversion is that we can always swap another motor if this one kicks the bucket. Glad you had the same idea and tackled the same project as we did. Cheers.

      @IFIXUR360 8 лет назад

      +ShadowGuidR airbrushing and spray cans are just about the same thing. They require the same technique. Same goes for using a spray gun for a car or an airless in a house. The technique is the same. Just a different spray depth.

    I just finished a very similar build on a smaller 110 atv with a honda gx160 swap. Im curious why you went with a jack shaft. I used the same clutch assembly you did and was able to connect my stock chain and sprocket. My 6yr old helped me on the project and the thing runs like a dream. Im glad to see some one had the same ideas as i did and you did a really great job I'd like to show you some pics of my build some time and swap ideas

    • @balabay77
      @balabay77  8 лет назад

      I've used jackshaft because the rear sprocket was on the right side of the quad. Maybe I could of flipped the rear axle but there is no guarantees that everything would of lined up correctly. Original sprocket had different pitch therefore had to get another sprocket for it. Now that I have a jackshaft on this thing, changing out sprockets will give me low end torque. Would love to check out your ATV. What's your preferred method of sharing pics?

    Happy New Year. Great father and son project. I have a few questions. I want to do this project for my son and this is what I’m starting with. I have a complete 2005 ETON Viper 90cc setup. I want to replace the stock engine with my Honda GX 270 engine. Is there a link I can buy the parts so I can put the whole setup together like yours? I like yours because it’s real simple and it just works. I have seen people cut half of the Eton engine to retain the transmission but I rather just sell the engine as a whole to someone who wants to work on it. I have everything needed minus the hardware to make it work.

    Great build. Glad to see a father son project. We are looking to do something similar. I have a question for you. The jack shaft coming off the torque converter seems a lot longer than factory. We may have to create something similar to get ours to work. How did you get a longer jack shaft? Also, the other jack shaft ; where dd you find that? I really enjoyed watching. Thanks for any help you can offer.

      Hello John
      We replaced original bolt that holds driven pulley on the torque converter with 10 inch hardened steel 5/8 jackshaft with keyway (eBay sells they for around 18-20 bucks). You can find them with threaded ends but I chose to jerry rig my jackshaft with C clips. Made the grooves with cutoff wheel and slipped the C clips in place. They hold everything just as good as any nut would. The other jackshaft that was welded on can also be found on eBay for around 42 bucks.
      If I knew that our video get so many views maybe I would of made it much better lol. Glad you liked our sloppy project and thanks for commenting. Cheers.

    I got a question. I want to build custom atvs and go karts. But what's with all the sprockets and pulleys ? Why are they necessary and what do you gain ? I always thought you could just hookup straight from clutch to sprocket

    • @balabay77
      @balabay77  6 лет назад

      You can set up your rig however you like. There’s no set rules on how to build your toys. If you are referring to torque converter when you say pulleys then it works like a small transmission giving you smooth acceleration unlike centrifugal clutch. It also doubles your speed to approximately 50mph compared to clutch (only 25mph). Jackshaft with gears was installed in this video because engine shaft was on the left side of the ATV and the rear sprocket was on the right side of ATV. Jackshaft made it possible to offset the chain from one side to the other. Good luck with your projects.

    before anyone says something bad about those 6.5 hp engines , first, i am 54 now and at 45 years old i was racing cclonne cclasses, , avg about 74-78 mph, 20 laps at 6400 rpm wwith a cost of about 350 - 400 dollars for a engine, i or anybody else cannot complain, if you go to arc or similar you can get parts to make that clone engine put out 17 - 19 hp easy enough, and that young man will have a ride, the break in is the most important,, have fun

    Hey, I've been enjoying your various projects and like some others have said here it's also cool to see fathers and sons doing these kinds of things together. Keep it up.
    On this project I do wonder if you're going to have problems with the transmission output shaft. It was a neat idea to use it the way you did, but I'm betting it should have a support bearing and bracket on the free end to bear the side loads. I think eventually you're going to have trouble with the transmission output shaft and bearings. Easy enough to add though.
    Heh, also with the mud bogging, you might want to throw a transmission cover on there.
    Oh, and where you took out the headlight, you should paint it black and install a "Larson Scanner" in there. ;')
    Keep sharing these projects and inspiring other dads out there.

    • @balabay77
      @balabay77  7 лет назад +1

      Hello Chris
      I like your idea with the Larson scanner and maybe I'll install it on my future project. As far as torque converter bearings go, they are cheap and easily replaceable. I bet that these bearings will outlast the internal components of driver pulley or driven pulley. I agree that cover is a must on this tranny. This ATV is our "village bicycle" and it gets abused on regular basis. So far engine and tranny works flawlessly. Glad you checked out some of our videos and appreciate your input. Cheers mate.

      No worries I welcome constructive criticism and try to improve upon it. Obviously, many of our projects are made out of junk and are not meant to last forever therefore even if they break or die it gives us another reason to post new and improved videos. Thanks for the link to Larson scanner I'll have to check it out. Have a blessed day.

  • @AReaux2000
    @AReaux2000 8 лет назад

    Hey I have a few questions.... What is the too speed on the ATV? What is your throttle wiring set up? And also I have a suggestion; you could ago a little more power by removing that exhaust on the tip of your exhaust extension. Those stock exhausts are extremely restrictive and cut down on power a lot. If you removed it and kept you home made exhaust (without the original exhaust on the tip) the ATV would run a lot better and be able to breath a lot easier. If you think about it it's like putting a folded up hanker chief over your nose to prevent dust from getting in your nose. It makes it incredibly hard to breath. You can do all sorts of other mods to these small 212 cc engines to make great power

    • @balabay77
      @balabay77  8 лет назад

      Thanks for advice Austin, i will try to ride it without exhaust tip next time we go. Top speed is about 40 MPH. My throttle set up is basically a cheap chinese thumb control lever from eBay and standard cable that came with it.
      In the near future during our next oil change i might remove the governor to get more power out of it.

    • @AReaux2000
      @AReaux2000 8 лет назад

      +balabay77 removing the governor is a great way to gain power. Just make sure you don't run it at full throttle for extended amounts if time

    I've been thinking about building a little quad similar to this. My dad's friend has a frame just like this, for sale, but it'd be a high budget to fix up:( But I hope you guys have fun with this little monster!

    • @balabay77
      @balabay77  7 лет назад

      Hi Eddie how are you? if you convert any ATV into something similar then you'll have a fun quad for many years to come. These predators are easily replaceable/swappable and within one hour you're back on the road. You should go for it and make one. good luck bud.
