First Test Drive of the Go Kart

This go kart is called the A-kart , named after my little girl (Allie) . In this video I let my little boy Cody drive it for the first time.
My other builds and Playlists... kzread.infovideos?flow=grid&view=1
This kart has a 6.5 from Harbor Freight. They do not carry these any more but they do have the 212cc and they would be the same type of thing.

    Cody, you did a great job driving a very cool vehicle. My dad built me a go-kart in 1968 from angle iron and old lawn mover parts. It had no brakes and no throttle control. You would start the engine and then engage drive by moving a handle that snugged up a belt. It was difficult for this 7 year old to operate. :-) I managed to drive it around the house 3 times and then stop it by hitting the inside garage wall. :-) That was the end of go-karts for a long time.

First day after training wheels was behind a condemed school yard, cover in broken glass, Pops said, " You see all that glass? You dont want to fall!!" First motorcycle lesson was 1 down 5 up on a old Elsinore two stroke. First driving lesson was on pops lap, in a 69 Charger with straight pipes and cherry bomb glass packs.

    Cody, I'm glad you got to share with your dad and us the fun in the go-kart that he built. You have a dad to be admired and respected. Dad, it's kinda cool to see a kid just playing and having a blast without a care in the world. That's how we played when I was a kid. I have the scars to prove it. Would you consider having Cody wear some head gear? Maybe add a seatbelt and a roll bar, like on a Shelby Cobra, to add some protection for him and the engine area? Darn! I sound like my dad now, telling everyone to be safe (I don't think it bothered him if we got hurt, that's what kids do. I think he just hated the inconvenience of taking us to the hospital, lol!) Now go play! "Stay thirsty, my friend." - The world's most interesting man
