[@vegasxventures]

This here reminds me of my childhood, right down to the fat tire ATCs. Your son will forever appreciate the time and effort you spent to show him how to build/repair/innovate things and will likely never have to pay a mechanic.

[@balabay77]

I certainly hope so. Many teens are high tech savvy but when it comes to working with their hands, not all are mechanically inclined. These days everything is made somewhere else therefore skilled jobs are becoming absolute. Thanks for watching.

[@locomojo0485]

Awesome!!! I did this same project at nearly the same time. Crazy... Mine was to a 1988 Yamaha Blaster stripped frame with good plastics and tires for $50. I ended up with a little over $300 in it. Original front brakes work great. So sold the rear caliper for $50-60. (I forget) Had to cut the frame and reweld it some. Mounted up the Predator 212, and bought an ebay torque converter. The blaster has the sprocket on the left so I didn't need the jackshaft. I used the original 520 chain, just bought a different front sprocket to fit converter. Fun little ATV for a kid.

[@balabay77]

+locomojo0485 The good thing about this conversion is that we can always swap another motor if this one kicks the bucket. Glad you had the same idea and tackled the same project as we did. Cheers.

[@FuskyTheHusky81]

"he loves to paint bumpers... i just cant figure out why..." well.. there a pretty nice view u got there... i would love to paint bumpers too XD

before anyone says something bad about those 6.5 hp engines , first, i am 54 now and at 45 years old i was racing cclonne cclasses, , avg about 74-78 mph, 20 laps at 6400 rpm wwith a cost of about 350 - 400 dollars for a engine, i or anybody else cannot complain, if you go to arc or similar you can get parts to make that clone engine put out 17 - 19 hp easy enough, and that young man will have a ride, the break in is the most important,, have fun

[@DanielB4life]

Another ride. I will have fun riding this.

[@rebeldad1344]

Someone said it looked way under powered? Not sure how they figure that... that little quad originally came with a little 49 or 90 cc engine. That predator is a 212 cc engine! More than double the displacement of the 90 cc and 4 times the displacement of the little 49 cc. And with the set up you have, just changing out a couple sprockets could make that thing either scarey fast or a frackin stump puller! Awesome project.

[@balabay77]

Thanks Chad for supporting and sticking up for our project. Just because it doesn't go 100mph doesn't make it underpowered. Sometimes kids troll in comments section not knowing that with little mods this thing can be fast enough to do some serious damage. Currently it will do about 40mph which is plenty for us. Appreciate you kind words. Cheers.

+Bassmaster2069 I hope that my kid won't be afraid to fix, modify build or create anything. Thanks for your support.

[@David-ri8ps]

I got a question. I want to build custom atvs and go karts. But what's with all the sprockets and pulleys ? Why are they necessary and what do you gain ? I always thought you could just hookup straight from clutch to sprocket

[@balabay77]

Eduardo Navas You can set up your rig however you like. There’s no set rules on how to build your toys. If you are referring to torque converter when you say pulleys then it works like a small transmission giving you smooth acceleration unlike centrifugal clutch. It also doubles your speed to approximately 50mph compared to clutch (only 25mph). Jackshaft with gears was installed in this video because engine shaft was on the left side of the ATV and the rear sprocket was on the right side of ATV. Jackshaft made it possible to offset the chain from one side to the other. Good luck with your projects.

[@chriscinque1687]

What all did you use to make your jack shaft and make it work with the predator I'm currently trying to make something like that work since my sprocket on the rear end is on the right side

[@G56AG]

Good deal! Safety tip: Buckle that helmet, it won't work if it comes off in an accident! Ride to live, live to ride!

[@balabay77]

Thanks for your advice Sir. Cheers

[@39knights]

Probably not a lot of snowblowers in your area but they are a great source for cheap horizontal shaft engines 8-13hp in my area.

[@balabay77]

Yeah, we don't have any snow in our neck of the woods. Have you seen or heard anything about Ebay engines called Powerland PD420? whats your take on it? some kid told me that they are just as good as Harbor freight engines but much cheaper ($179.99)

[@mauriciojml]

[@balabay77]

+Mauricio Lopes Yes sir, my son and i we build stuff together. He gets to learn new skills and in get to spend quality time with him. Thank you for watching and have a great day.

[@danpat72]

I just finished a very similar build on a smaller 110 atv with a honda gx160 swap. Im curious why you went with a jack shaft. I used the same clutch assembly you did and was able to connect my stock chain and sprocket. My 6yr old helped me on the project and the thing runs like a dream. Im glad to see some one had the same ideas as i did and you did a really great job I'd like to show you some pics of my build some time and swap ideas

[@balabay77]

I've used jackshaft because the rear sprocket was on the right side of the quad. Maybe I could of flipped the rear axle but there is no guarantees that everything would of lined up correctly. Original sprocket had different pitch therefore had to get another sprocket for it. Now that I have a jackshaft on this thing, changing out sprockets will give me low end torque. Would love to check out your ATV. What's your preferred method of sharing pics?

[@danpat72]

Email works for me [e-mail] Yea that makes since on the jack shaft now. I was a little worried I might have over looked something or had a design flaw on mine.

[@jeremiahwilson3777]

[@mckrackin5324]

I can understand his love of painting bumpers. I'd paint some bumpers for you. lol

[@Dhennanxne]

If anyone's wondering the predator 212cc engine only has the same power as a 49cc engine this is because it should be used as a lawnmower it has the torque if 212cc but not the power

[@wojciech4704]

Like the paper this boy is painting on :3

[@greenjucehd2677]

did u hold the acceleration button on max?

[@cr1m203]

Happy New Year. Great father and son project. I have a few questions. I want to do this project for my son and this is what I’m starting with. I have a complete 2005 ETON Viper 90cc setup. I want to replace the stock engine with my Honda GX 270 engine. Is there a link I can buy the parts so I can put the whole setup together like yours? I like yours because it’s real simple and it just works. I have seen people cut half of the Eton engine to retain the transmission but I rather just sell the engine as a whole to someone who wants to work on it. I have everything needed minus the hardware to make it work.

[@Easiermarlin33]

Nice Quad, cool to see what people can do with just a chassis. I want to fix my moto-4 now...

[@boomersbackyard6858]

Thanks for the video. I just got a go-kart that has a 3 wheeler rear axle and wondered what I should have for a sprocket on the axle. What is top speed on that?

[@balabay77]

+Boomer's Backyard Its all up to you. if you want low end torque than go with 72 tooth sprocket but we went with 54 tooth and its sufficient enough to get us around.

[@nairblab4061]

Awesome to see a dad and his son working on something together. Just put a paint mask on your son when he's spraying, his lungs are still developing!

[@AReaux2000]

Hey I have a few questions.... What is the too speed on the ATV? What is your throttle wiring set up? And also I have a suggestion; you could ago a little more power by removing that exhaust on the tip of your exhaust extension. Those stock exhausts are extremely restrictive and cut down on power a lot. If you removed it and kept you home made exhaust (without the original exhaust on the tip) the ATV would run a lot better and be able to breath a lot easier. If you think about it it's like putting a folded up hanker chief over your nose to prevent dust from getting in your nose. It makes it incredibly hard to breath. You can do all sorts of other mods to these small 212 cc engines to make great power

[@balabay77]

Thanks for advice Austin, i will try to ride it without exhaust tip next time we go. Top speed is about 40 MPH. My throttle set up is basically a cheap chinese thumb control lever from eBay and standard cable that came with it. In the near future during our next oil change i might remove the governor to get more power out of it.

[@AReaux2000]

+balabay77 removing the governor is a great way to gain power. Just make sure you don't run it at full throttle for extended amounts if time

[@balabay77]

+Austin Reaux Yes sir.

[@7eventies]

This is awesome, looks like a project for me this summer

[@balabay77]

+Matt Dun Thanks for your support but I'm far from perfect welds. The more i make these bikes the better i get. Cheers.

[@mbl2012]

How fast can it go? How well does it climb? Where'd you get the torque converter and how much was it?

[@balabay77]

It can go approximately 40 miles per hour and with a kid riding it there should be no issue climbing hills unless oil sensor is not disconnected and will shot down the engine at a steep climb. 30 series torque converter can be found on eBay or amazon for around $100. Good luck
