Hitchhikers are bad this time of year!
You’re telling me, he didn’t even wash his hands before shaking mine 😳
Love both Shows.... Huge fan of Ike!!!
Hey guys, name is John, Rachael gets my parts for me here in Plymouth. I need a good vintage kart to restore and she keeps forgetting to ask you guys for me. I am not a groupie i am 59 retired mechanic and need a project worthy of restoration, can you guys help?
Sorry for you loss, guys. Adventure buddies are always special. As a matter of fact, all of you lot were headed off to college a bit back; an update, if you would. Always awesome!
That last scene with the train is really great! I bet y'all were happy to capture that.
Great video! Was any clearancing required to install the rod? I've seen some people need to do it before on the 224. (Nvm I see now that it's a 212 with a red flywheel cover)
Cool little cart, nice build.
It looks so good,and moves pretty well.Would you show building an exhaust support so bumpy areas don't snap the header off?Thnx. So sorry for the loss of Buddy. You guys gave him some great memories too.
Great crosspromotion with some stellar acting. Well done! Light a match!
So sorry for the loss of Buddy!! Well done on the build!
Another great build, another great video!! Fun to see Ike, he's a total hoot! When you can, give us an update on Daniel. Soooo sorry about Buddy. Oh my God, I understand the pain. RIP Buddy. Hey, been watching you guys since 'day one'. I'm soooooo proud of you guys and your accomplishments. With all the foolishness going on in America these days, you all give me HOPE for the future!!! Keep on truckin' !!!!
Thank you so much, we can’t say how much we appreciate you sticking with us from the beginning! We have plenty in store and Daniel will be making a couple cameos in the not so distant future
@@BuildBreakRepeat That's super !!!
So sorry for your loss. They become so much a prat of the family. I know how hard it is. Been through it my self. God Bless!
Couldn’t have said it any better, we appreciate that!
A tip for holding valves closed. Place about two feet of 1/4" braided nylon rope inside the cylinder, then roll the piston up towards TDC till it stops. The rope inside the cylinder will hold the valves closed and not scratch up the inside of your cylinder. Leave a few inches outside the cylinder so you can remove it easily after you finish replacing valve springs. So Sorry for your loss, RIP Buddy.
You are a very good KZheadr.
Was the stock rod Cast aluminum because it looked stock billet to me?
Watched both of your videos on this kart and really enjoyed them both. What would be really cool would be to do a video on stretching the frame. Just sayin......Keep um coming.....
Yes you can hear it just wanting to keep pulling. Will definitely go crazy in the dirt.
How satisfied are you with the band brake?
very underrated
please do a front brake kit next
Nice upgrades for any go karts! How's Danny doing?
He’s doing great, we might have him back on the channel soon….
Sorry for your loss guys,he was a good boy!
It is a bit of a vintage go kart but I highly doubt it's a streaker,,someone probably put the streaker steering wheel on it at some point,looks to be a "Clark" brand go kart to me,,if it still had the aluminum square shaped pedals on it that would be a dead give away its a Clark brand,,and I've seen a ton a streaker as I live only 2 hours away from were the Ken bar"manufaturing plant used to build them in north georgia,,I know it can be hard identifying older go karts for sure it's a hobby of mine,,nice rebuild job 👍
How does my stock predator 212 with gov delete reach 47? I’m very light so I guess that’s why
You went 47 with no governor and the stock flywheel? Your lucky that thing didn't explode
Lol, what the heck Ike from cars & camera’s doing here.?!
Same thing I was thinking about that cameo. Thought I was having a stroke
😂
Wasn’t expecting that 😩😂😂😂
Used the stock camshaft? So most of the gain was due to the flywheel?
what motor does it have and how much mph and ps
RIP Buddy
If you want to race it on an oval track you want a one wheel peel for cornering.
i wonder how much it cost them in total to do all, got to be quite a lot right?
RIP buddy. Us, as humans, don’t deserve dogs. But I’m glad we have them.
You sure are right about that!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Me and my cousin are working on a gokart for him, it has the one wheel drive with a ungovern 5hp Flathead and runs almost 40
Sorry about your puppy brother. They really are man’s best friend and can be so pure. Wish they could stay forever
How much cc is she
Brasil tá ligado
Rest peacefully Buddy.
3:09 he didn’t wash his hands
gday guys
Howdy!
rip buddy
Now you should 5.9 swap it
Sorry about Buddy. Put a real break on that cart at that speed.
I guess my question is, you put all that extra money into the stock 212. Why didn't you just buy a ghost an call it a day? Already comes with all that stuff you added
Bye everyone Back to North Carolina!!!! LOL
👍👍👍👍👶
Как тебе такое Илон Маск?
Next time upgrading, torque converter and disc brakes...
Needs a disk brake.
Ah your doggy, I’m sorry😢
Can you sell it to me
lifan gs212e
Had to add a massive weight to my old carts front end when it had the 433cc Yamaha sled engine on it as it didn't turn worth a darn without it. And ya it was insanely fast for mph 70+.
Sorry about buddy I just lost my best friend of 12 years
