This is the follow up video to our popular "why you need to build a cheap drift trike" video, except with go karts! Everyone should buy a cheap go kart if they have any interest in competitive driving, wrenching, fabrication, or any other motorsports interests or ambitions. The cheap yard kart is the gateway to everything motorsports! Go kart parts are cheap, they're easy to learn on and modify, and you can build a fast go kart for cheap! It doesn't take much to make an old go kart go 50 MPH. In today's video, we put together this vintage Black Hawk go kart with a Tillotson 212cc engine, and it has CRAZY acceleration! The go kart originally came with twin 2 stroke engines, which had much shorter gearing (because two strokes typically rev much higher than the equivalent four stroke). Top speed however is around 25 mph. We'll fix that soon!
Thanks for Watching!

Heck ya guys love the old cart builds They are by far my favorite videos to watch thanks guys for sharing this amazing video
It all started with your first cheap go kart video... Now here I am with a go kart, lawnmower, and 2 classic cars... YIKES! I'm totally hooked now.
Watching your vids is what inspired me to by my own one didn’t have a motor and now has a predator 212 and the other has a Briggs 5hp both are one wheel peelers there’s still fun tho

Luv it!! Classic Cars and Cameras!!! Stay safe guys.✌
So glad you guys are still at it with the killer builds and videos. I remember meeting yall in 2016 for the motor plex meet, I was the kid with his dad who brought my red kart. Sat around since then and finally got around to swapping the engine (tbh I was much younger and had no clue what I was doing and kinda fried it). Again, love the content it inspires me.. ✌
I’ve learned a lot from y’all. I didn’t get a cheap one but I got a Colman go kart. And it has a torque converter on it. Learned that is a good thing from you guys. Keep up the good work!
Best Childhood memories with go karts and mini bikes. Great way to grow up. Cant wait for my kid to get old enough
I love y’all vids can’t wait till the new build gets done
that look and him saying!!! im sorry buddy!!! that was wholesome!!!! love it!!!
Love seeing these types of builds. Just waiting for a good one to pop up around the north Raleigh area so I can start my own build. I'm sure yall will put some larger tires on the rear to help with the gearing and sprocket clearance. That scrach aught to buff out. It'll be fine.
From what little bit I saw of the truck it's looking awesome.
Thank you for the videos! they are always so awesome!
I just bought a 2 seat manco with a *running* Briggs 5hp flathead the other day for $30. It’s my current project cart. I love your vids!
Chains don't "stretch", they wear and lengthen. So a pre-stretched chain is just a pre-worn chain... It's like buying new Jeans that already have holes in them.
That's a Blackhawk Chief, built by Don Fairman, in the early 60's, in Brodhead WI. Don also built the Sugar River Raceway. Which is still in operation, run by Don's son Marshall, today.

Great kart to start off with! I've seen some insane upgrades to some old Black Hawk's. solid frame and the basic goodies to learn on. lol, upgrades that'll drop your jaw
I got a go kart for 35 bucks and I fixed it with my grandpa and he taught me a lot like how engines work and how go karts work I learned a tun of stuff from him sadly he passed away and I miss him
Your first video on getting a cheap kart is what I showed my wife to persuade her we were getting our first! We're about to build our 2nd on our channel!! Thanks for all the inspiration!! 👍
My grandfather used to tell me about the dual 2 strokes he said the would fly but for as cheap as you can get new engines its great and cheap way to have fun yall keep up the great work
We want to see yall ride them more. Awesome video
So, new subscriber, caught your mom on her bike trip in pilot, va, and she told me to come check you out. She gave me a sticker as well, keep up the good content
Yayy!! A recap of the old days
I can remember the days of those retro carts. Don’t feel bad John, I took one of those and ran it under my neighbors restored 70’s Ford 4x4. Left a huge paint streak under his truck when I hit the gas tank, and fortunately for me I didn’t get hurt. I’ve still got that old cart. I need to either get the engine going again, or put a 212 on it
You guys helped me fill my first mini Mike and you guys also help me with stress through school you guys are the best
man, i didn´t know that Will ferrel was such a good mechanic
I love your channel. I picked myself up a Manco Intruder II for $120 that took a hefty jump than bent the axle and broke the swing arm in a couple of places. It's otherwise in excellent condition. I'm slowly getting it back together, when I'm not working.
copped an og intruder with a brand new predator 212 on it, been working on it over quarantine and it’s coming out great
I am still looking on market place for a good deal and thank for all the tips on finding them

I have a ridge wallet! Burned titanium look with the cash strap! Had for a year and its still like new! Loving it! Only down side is that its a bit over 100$..
Blackhawk Karts were the bomb back in their day. one of the best choices for racing
Man I just bought an old go cart a couple of weeks ago, put a new 212 on it and not to mention I’ve also got a 4th gen nova I was building it right next too as well! Got a lot in common with you guys!
Was hella exciting to see the old track again
Keep up the great work!!!!Also where’s the rail??
Another great video trucks looking good update on the spline
I like the back from where you guys started from with the channel
we just did a kart for my friends 5 yr old granddaughter who loves you guys, 4hp with jack shaft = top speed 4 mph and a VERY often used wheelie bar. Named tork monster. Helmet, and seat belt because it is the right way.
Scored a manco criter ii from the trash a while back. Glad to say also that I’m seeing more people on go karts and mini bikes now
Duuuude I was waiting real bad a vid of the throphy kart!
I love y’all videos keep up the great work
Way to go Ike! 👏🏼 He’s more convincing than Billy Mays selling Oxi clean! But seriously he did a great job 👍
For the totrod wider read end. Like nice old school rat rod. Maybe some cool looking trike fenders
You guys got lucky finding that, I can never find vintage karts like those, all I ever seem to find are Mancos, Yerf Dogs, and home made karts made from plumbing pipe
just for your information it is a 1961 blackhawk chief, originally had dual 2 stroke engines that ran in sync off the other☺
Just got a $250 212 cc predator mini bike, worked when I was testing it out but I think I kept on it’s side for a while when I was in the car so I think it’s flooded now but who cares cuz I know when it starts it’s gonna be hella fun!
I would love to see a go kart tank build. Something that can literally go anywhere. Anyway love you're video's and i look forward to watching them.
Cars and cameras I am a big fan and you guys got me in to gocarts and atvs
Another great video. Resurrecting an old go cart and saving it from oblivion is a noble cause. Hope you guys are still making videos in 50 years time.
Nice, I just finished looking for "9 reasons to buy an old go kart" and watching it because it was mentioned by Michael in the last video and here's a new one..
Next project, we rebuild the "Helmet-O-Shame" adding a point to the top and custom paint. You guys are so much fun! Thanks for your great videos.
Interesting tidbit: When installing the master link clip, whenever possible/practical, install the clip with the opened end trailing in the direction of the chain travel.
Love the helmet of shame idea..! Great job fellas..
Looks pretty nice. Don't know if that's what my neighbor has, was left in the garage. It's got a chain wheel like y'all put on the Cozy Coupe.
I found mine for free on the side of the road. It’s a 5 horse Briggs and Stratton and it runs amazing. SO MUCH FUN!
im glad to see the og carsandcameras hq!
Broadhead Wisconsin kart built in the basement of sugar river race way. 580/700 west bend or early mcculloch.
that would make an epic Drift Kart, slightly taller tires on the rear to get some clearance for that big sprocket, or a jack shaft to keep that same ratio with that size tire, make an old school drifter out of it, or get ahold of ratherbwelding and see if he cant build y'all a 2 speed jackshaft like he put on a few of his karts, so you have the tall gear for pickup and torque then a smaller gear for top end anyways, pretty great vid guys
love this kart. many times ive been watching this repeatedly...
Y'all need to do a video on a side-by-side 4×4
I'm amazed at those 40 year old Firestone tires! I bought a couple of chinesium tires and wheels at TSC that lasted barely a year before they started to disintegrate, split open and completely fail. Next try was HF with exact same results! But what you expect for $5.00 tire and wheel?
Love that 4lb sprocket tuner
Got my son an old kart with throttle rod. Has a predator 212 with 22mm carb.
On a go kart like that 15 feels pretty fast lol. Bigger tires or smaller sprocket lol. Throw a torque converter on it.
Can't wait until the next video on this kart
I love old carts i got a yerfdog and DINGO but yall should do a segment about a taotao atv or cart and see how fast u can make them. And then maybe a engine swap?
John man, you've become an awesome racer through out y'all's videos! Lol what a good video. Ha! Just saw the helmet part! Lmao
Your neck is gunna hurt with the Helmet Of Shame for the rest of the day lol. Always fun watching you two rip on a cheap go kart. I remember I bought mine for about $500 at a yard sale. Got a few good years out of it. I hope to someday get an older go kart and restore it for my son and I someday when he's big enough to ride.
We need an update video on the truck, it's looking great! Bigger rear tires on the cart, more ground clearance for the sprocket and it'll change the gear ratio so it should make it faster.
Just got me a 212cc predator seeing them go fast on videos is so different then experiencing it yourself I went fast.. ruined one of my old tires but it was worth it Burn out on pavement an dirt an grassland
Just bought a $50 go cart came with a locked up 212. All she needed was a bit of good ole American persuasion and she was up and running in no time
Me: I'd love a cheap go-kart for fun to rip about on... UK Gov: NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY FUN!!! YOU ARE BANNED FROM HAVING SUCH THINGS!!!

Was watching your video of the old 2 speed mini bike with the jackshaft and a 2nd clutch, interesting concept, i know bully clutches can be rpm adjusted and a (max torque) video showing if you shorten spring it engages later, could this concept be applied to a go kart, for example once your first clutch tops out rpm the second one on the jackshaft engages with a taller gear??? Try it out guys i watch c&c all the time wondering what you guys are going to try next, you guys remind me of Monster Garage with go-karts the cross cart and Ducati is insane still want to see the snowmobile engine go-kart or big four-wheeler engine shifter go-kart, it would be awesome if you start letting fans help you with builds I would be honored just to be your cameraman keep it up guys great videos I want to see that Trophy Truck do some jumps lol
15:20 chicken fleeing the scene
I found a baja warrior that didn't run and was in peices and I finished the demolition and painted it and it looks great
Just for asthetics...the cozy cart needs an antenna...with a raccoon tail on the tip and fuzzy dice hangin on the inside where a rear view mirror would be 👌🏾🤘🏾
Slightly taller back tire and skip plate and keep it as a burn out fun.
I got a go karts that I could use help on I was inspired by you guys to build it
Very wholesome video. I don’t know why but it is
Your builds are too cool guys.
Hey guys so I’m doing a kart build now using the 670 predator engine was wondering what size torque converter you guys used I can’t seem to figure out what fits the shaft. Thanks in advance
The 550cc SnotRod is awesome. that thing is built for speed. Do some 1/8 mile runs with it.
