[@singlebone]

ike was better

[@tasJis]

Also Ike was more consistent

[@Singh_1989]

agreed

[@glennbrewer5913]

Is ike won with style and driving skills lol but true.

[@keithfreeman5204]

Sorry to say guys but I'm a Briggs & Stratton engine fan, 31/2hp. 5hp, and , of course, the 71/2 hp rotortiller engine. All with the horizontal crankshafts. Neibghor kid brought over a Honda 90, Dad said it was to fast. So my buddy gave me a mini bike with the 3 hp engine. Of Course, I took off the governor. It held together for 5 weeks, broke the connecting rod. Then I put on the 5hp and changed the final gearing, a few teeth smaller. This worked pretty well till a valve cracked. On the the 71/2 tiller engine. I think it come from the factory with a bit bigger camshaft, much more raw power. B&S engines are just so much better and longer life to boot. Shave the head, High Performance Carb, then we are looking at almost 50mph. At 13 years old I learned to weld, on to gokarts. At first I was using the same B&S engines that I was using. To date, my biggest kart had on it a 2 cylinder snow-machine engine rated at 50 hp. Hot rear shaft, the clutch top end from the snow-machine and a driven pulley and belt. On blacktop, the machine would close to 80mph, would climb almost anything. Power donuts fast enough to make you very dizzy. Using ATV tires and rims, it was the run around the farm machine. The was controlled only by how much air was in the tires. This was an adult sized go kart on steroids. So guys come on. Back on the farm we pressed in to service the engines that were on hand, lawn mower, rotor tiller, and I think, one even came from a wood splitter. Most Tinkers and Home hobbiests had to make do with what was on hand. Not a lot of money but a problem solving brain that just wouldn't quit. When people ask, where did I get my kart.... I just love to say, with a big grin, "I built it myself". From one gearhead to another. Guys, Please keep coming out with more videos.

[@Jason-fb5gs]

Ike won, he actually drifted more objects than John. However I gotta give John props on his control through the trees by the garage on his first lap, handled it perfectly.

[@realrocktimusprime]

Just some ideas for future projects. A sidecar on the Coleman. And a mini, polaris slingshot clone. Keep up the good work gents!

[@Oldsoldiersays]

with those tillotson's you can get mechanical fuel injection from GPS which is perfect for....TURBO!

[@doodlebug6833]

best comment on this channel ever

[@VasilyBuilds]

Single cylinder carburetor is the worst type of engine to turbo. Efi still might not help that much

[@burninrubba65]

Maybe with a boost referenced rrfpr but the ecotrons they used on the drift trike is a much better system. You just have to know how to tune

[@Mish93Will]

This comment needs more likes so they see this. Would be awesome to see some boost on this show!

[@Oldsoldiersays]

its so tough to add boost to a non fuel injected small engine. you basically have to build a box around the carb or a complicated boost reference setup, changing the jets won't do it. The mechanical fuel injection is so friggen easy, carb hat and fuel pressure gauge is all you need.

[@brendanmanning5100]

First off, happy birthday Ike. John had the speed but this was a comp, Ike won with style. Now to wait till wed for y'all's next video. 😀

[@realedelbug]

Going with John on the win, not only faster but fearless when coming into the driveway from the first lap - crazy! Happy birthday Ike, and you guys be safe with the storm coming.

[@mattster197]

I think Ike won. He took a bit more time but smidge more style.

[@jgeiger313]

I built a go kart with that motor but with the tillotson carb a header and intake. A 50 tooth sprocket and got 44 mph out of her. Great engine

[@rantsandreviews]

I have to give it to Ike...I feel like he showed more kart control throughout the run. Great vid guys...made my day and HBD Ike! #ikesgotballs

I just pulled the trigger on one of these engines to replace my hemi predator. Can't freaking wait for it to show up!

[@maxalexander2135]

How do you like it

[@domenicozagari2443]

You can get more power if you make 2 holes on the sides at the bottom of the cylinder to release the exhaust pressure in the cylinder, you may need a non return valve, also if you put a turbine you can direct the exhaust to the turbine to give you additional power.

[@moosedrummer1]

John always wants a competition. Never wins one.

[@Edward_John]

True dat.

[@sunnyray7819]

Ike is the Master...

[@TheBunnyDeveloper]

He has fun lol

[@chpmk74]

Ike for style points, the 360 attempts were awesome. John, you were quick, but this was more about the drifting.

[@janeames1513]

hey fellas..i think Ike won the style part b/c his attempted 360 was more visable for us to see on the camera..however the speed part John you nailed that one..so in my opinion both of ya'll won...ya'll be careful with the storm coming in..much love from your neighbor in Bama

[@adamackels73]

All I gotta say, I'm sure John's parents love the idea of them drifting now.. LOL. Great effort guys!

Issac won ....he got closer to fixed objects. That makes drifting so much cooler

[@dominiquedavis9742]

John because he had me with one eye open but you did good to ike lol I'll say a tie happy b day

[@ruinsmars9859]

To stop all that vibration you can use a piece of car tire under the motor with holes drilled through it. Match up the size if the motors mounting plate with a little over size, about 1/2 to 1.5 in, all the way around and just bolt it down. Use locking nuts, maybe 2, on each bolt so they don't come undone while riding. This will eliminate a ton of vibration and make it seem more stable and controllable on pavement and off road. You can also do this on the axle but its a little more tricky to do.

[@thomaslenhart832]

Shouldnt u break in the engines before going full throttle

[@autobotavengerfireballxl5339]

Thomas Lenhart suppose to but i never did

[@Yelnats101]

I personally just bolt and go wfo. I have never had an issue and I have 6 engines. Predator 212

[@Goodtimesbadluckv2]

they were meant to be pressure washer engines and such they will be fine

[@wafercopenhafer8536]

Eh Itll be fine

[@modelnutty6503]

+The Bassman to me it seems they're all bum motors when..... there's no such thing as a lower rod bearing! IMHO what happened: got a little dry and heated up (chases more oil out!), aluminum expands (steel too), let the galling begin! maybe/IF they had a bearing with a hole and funnel shape aimed at the bearing's center, and an internal protrusion (in the case) for more oil to splash against and drip/pour right AT that funnel shape (and crank arms etc, keep it all WETTER) it'd greatly reduce the issue? oil gets slung vertical off the crank itself to wet the piston and cylinder wall anyway, so something aiming more oil directly at the lowed rod bearing... like a bundle of BIC cigarette lighter's flint springs maybe? the small coils would catch a whole lot and drip, surface tension and gravity helping put the oil where it needs to be. (not saying an engine doesn't need some run-in time too)

[@lorditsprobingtime6668]

That motor combined with your torque converter and being straight out of the box really hammered for it's small size, very impressed.

[@bradhay6357]

I think ike won that one with the close wall drifts and style points. Sorry John. But happy birthday ike

[@jasongaudet8719]

It's a tough decision, but I think John got it with that triple tree S pass, almost crashing into the garage, but it worked! Happy Birthday Ike!

Make a drift go cart with a e-brake

E-brakes only lock the back tires. Budget karts only have rear brakes.

[@scruffynorseman]

Ike for style! Especially liked the drifts around the firepit lol

[@MrBigdaddy1021]

Since the bolt wasnt tight it stretched. Thats where the slack came from in the first place which allowed the rod to bounce around and create extra extra wear.

[@localrider77]

Sweet go cart. I'd love it if my parents let me rip through there yard like that

[@buffit_8345]

Both races were very good so that makes this one difficult to decide. After giving it much thought and careful consideration, my vote goes to Ike on the race just cause he was able to power out of that wipeout without coming to a complete stop. Happy birthday Ike! 😁

[@DefencelessDuck]

That is a great engine from gopowersports I think Ike did well with fluid drifts And John was just hauling butt

Awesome Tillotson 212. Please talk more about this engine. Also, stay safe in this big nasty Hurricane !!!

[@dubc313]

Arc 6773 is the correct billet rod for it. Sticker says its a ducar block. Piston has a recess cut for the exhaust valve. Valves look to be 27/24 if I recall. Lifters look larger than clone. Pushrods to upgrade have to be cut to fit I was told. The valve springs seem to be heavy duty I bought 26lbs replacements that don't seem as stiff as stock. Has auto style retainer clips. Shaft mounted rockers no stud.

[@anonymousperson4280]

Douglas Carver do you know what the shaft diameter is. I heard that it was 5/8 but if it fits the torque converter in the video then it would be 3/4

[@jeepcollector91]

No need to polish the crank. Mix up some lye and water and dunk the crank overnight. The lye water will dissolve the aluminum, but won't touch the cast iron crank. All you have to do is ScotchBrite the leftover black stuff on the crank and BAM! No worries about undersizing the journal!

Sorry john. Ike killed it. Carrot cake is bomb

[@russelltripp9313]

Look at the rod journal. If there is any aluminum stuck there, it's caused by lack of oil. The windage in the crankcase may be blowing the oil away from the dipper. The bullet rod has a pressure feed hole and is shorter. Oil can accumulate in the groove and get into the rod. If it was a bum engine the rod never would have lasted 1 9000 rpm run up.

[@slimelines4394]

John was just alot more ballsy for lack of a better word.
