Sounds like someone is jealous dont be a hater lol

Love this project! As someone who used to love to throw Rods in $10 yardsale 5HP Flat Head B+S engines.. they didn't last long, but had another block in the wings to swap parts onto. As they loosened up, they make even more power. IMO, your 20HP isn't winding high enough. Have you checked Engine RPM? In my experience: If it sounds like it's going to explode, you're close to max power. Just my two cents from hacking flat head 5HP's w/o ANY aftermarket parts. My Recipe: Big Lawn Tractor Carb + homemade conduit intake manifold, HOG ports way OUT, Footlong homemade exhaust pipe, Give flat head a fire channel from cylinder to intake port, Thin homemade copper head gasket, belt sand the head, two Exhaust Valve Springs (much stiffer than intake), Springs shimmed close to solid at full lift, Grind off back side of cam maybe 0.1", make backside round till the ramps, Weld a "Bump" on the lifters and Grind off for proper valve clearance. Homemade Offset Keyway to advance ignition timing.. Total HACK JOB (Loved it!), but results were astounding.. If the block didn't have a puddle underneath, there was more RPMs/power left. Rod always failed, usually sticking out the side of the block, with piston pin pulled out the bottom of the piston, and a pile of metal pieces in the crankcase..

Extend the front axle OD to the OD of rear axle (make it square) with no more than .75 degrees of neg camber. That should resolve your handling issues at high speeds and over uneven terrain (bumps). It will no longer turn as tight but will be much more stable. You need a tach! Aerodynamics .. That was awesome Man!!! LMAO

Did you say 75° of negative camber??? You do realize that those stancebois who have massive amount of negative camber in the rear only run about 10°. 90° of negative camber would mean the wheel is layed down on it's side... So that mean 75° would be pretty much on it's side.

You guys are doing great! A lot of improvement. The sound and video quality is getting fantastic. Drone time?

you guys are having the kind of fun i had in the very early 70,s. built a shifter kart outta a rupp kart with a 125cc yamaha 6sp bike engine. almost died on that one. dad should not have bought me a new stick welder lol guys. kevin in pa.

Was thinking of the enduro (lay-down) kart chassis you guys picked up in Virginia a while back when I was watching you test the Lifan powered shifter kart. I'd like to suggest you extend the rear of that chassis and mount the engine as low as possible in the center of the frame. This would reduce your frontal area as much as possible. This was the idea behind the Enduro kart set up and it was effective. Lengthening the wheelbase would also make the kart More stable at high speed. When I was racing I had the thrill of racing at the Watkins Glen road course in New York. I was running a Maculloch MC 93 in a sit-up kart. My best speed was 92MPH. The 2 stroke engine topped out at 12,500rpm and my gearing was 12/64 with 35 roller chain. You do the math. The top class at the event was B & C open and the winner was an Enduro Kart with dual 125cc engines on alcohol. He was clocked at 135MPH and was lapping the 3.2 Mile course 30 seconds slower than the track record for all classes including Formula One. Too bad he didn't have a flux capacitor! Great Scott!

A few things. Do you think putting gussets to the tubing going to the spindles would strengthen that part of the cart and remove some bump steer? Is there a way you could run smaller tires because if so you cut down on wind resistance rolling resistance and inertia the smaller the better. You could also air up the front tires more and last thing you could get a cheap teach and not guess on engine rpm. By smaller I was referring to width not really height but you could change height and then change gear sizes to compensate with the tire height being smaller which would also help with wind resistance

@jasonleedham5678

Surely air DOWN the tyres? hard tyres bounce more, air down and they will add a little suspension to the ride. I would drop 10psi, then try it, and add 2 psi at a time, if it needs more at least they will know

Jason Leedham with the tires aired down it would grip the road more which would cause more drag with the roads if they air up it would cause the contact patch with the road to decrease the amount of energy to push the go kart especially at higher speeds especially with the front tires because they aren't meant to put power to the road

You guys didn't seem to thrilled about the top speed. Yeah it's not 88mph but 70+mph is still a great achievement. All from a little 212 predator. Hats off to you guys. The things you accomplish with go carts is amazing.

Adjusting the toe would have been faster, easier, and more effective at eliminating the frontend from darting. A car with excessive toe-out will have skittish steering, often darting to either side of the road very easily. The usual spec is slight toe-in to compensate for angular pressure that forces each tire outward as the car rolls down the road. 2mm over, what, 3 1/2 FEET (length of your measuring pipe).... is too little! You need more toe!

Yea but if you hit something, you are goin in face first rather than feet first.

I watched an older video from a couple years ago and am very happy y’all both cut yalls hair 😂

One small, albeit important step, make sure the driver is sitting in the kart while you align it! At least with racing karts, they'll flex and alignment specs become dependent on weight distribution. With a European kart, it is not uncommon for karts to gain a few degrees of negative camber just from the driver getting the in the seat. Cheers, Boys!

20 degrees caster...!! i think you have introduced "chopper flop" into the front end on that go cart... keep it up!

Oh boy you guys are so cool I wish I had neighbors like you😁👍🏻

You did add positive caster angle, which will result in the wheels straightening out after a turn. The main adjustment that would stablize the kart in the turn itself is being sure the Akerman angle is correct. Correct Tow in or out is desireable, along with scrub radius. This will prevent the steering tires from fighting one another in the turn and causing one or both tires sliding sideways and wearing them out prematurely. Each tire will turn in it's own correct radius...much like the shopping cart front wheels do. However the individual radius angle of the shopping cart wheels is determined by the friction of the surface you are rolling the cart on. This will not be the case on your cart because their angle will be determined by the "set adjustment" of the steering linkage.

That intro deserves a like by it's self.

88 MPH! Great Scotts!!!

NICE! Very nice. The 70+ mph club.

Ike is utter madness. I don't know how he fits those cajones in that leather!?

Some hubcaps modeled after DeLorean wheels would look cool. Something that comes to mind is old stock EZGO golf cart hubcaps, you'll probably have to cut it down to make it fit (and paint it). Maybe add a DMC sticker to the center?

GREAT SCOTT! you can't forget the frizzy white wig.

Fellas, I think it needs bump steer spacers, get the tie rod ends on the wheel side close to level with the steering shaft end. The frame flex can change the geometry. If it steers away from the bump hit, then this may be something to investigate.

15:40 "ayy dude you gotta come back.." I thought he was talking to the chicken chillin in the driveway..

Cool video. I still think you need a wider tire up front or at least take a little bit of air out of them. Thanks for the video guys.

Would it be better to put the tie rods on each side of steering wheel block? It seams to me both on one side would cause come play. ty for considering that change.

70 MPH is pretty damn fast on a go-kart. You guys have a winner far as im concerned.
