$50 Go Kart Build 2.0!!

Ike bought a $50 go kart! Can we make it run and ride for minimal investment? In today's episode, we do a follow up build to our original $50 go kart build video from years ago. Can you still buy a decent go kart for $50? This one wheel drive vintage Streaker go kart has a late model Jiang Dong 196cc overhead valve engine that isn't running. With a little bit of cleaning and under $50 worth of parts, we make this rusty old go kart run and ride!

To be fair, water is worse on a wooden floor than a skidmark.

[@BaltaM4ster]

@@Hurtydwarf how does that even make since he just burnt a line that wont be coming of

[@Hurtydwarf]

@@BaltaM4ster A burnt line in wood wont cause any more issues than that. Water soaks into the wood and expands and contracts and destroys it. Water damage is rough, especially on plywood flooring.

[@Mr.M1STER]

@@BaltaM4ster Yeah as said, water will soak into wood but I'm sure they dried it up with a rag pretty quick so either way it will not be a huge deal.

Since the front is already banged up, you should extend the front and relocate the pedals so Ike can actually ride it 😂

[@elijahmccartney2545]

They need to get a fl250 style steering wheel with the gas and break on the steering wheel

[@Psyco913]

If they extend the frame between the seat and the steering wheel it would give them more room and also move the pedals out further.

[@jon-thomasbrunton9897]

They also had an entire line of streakers including an off road varient with a rear diff straight axle

[@ryanmalin]

MY OLD MAN BOUGHT ME THAT KART NEW WHEN I WAS 5!!!!! It came with a 5hp brigs and it was 2wd. Removed the governer. Also put some nice slicks on it. I used to lock up the rear wheels and drift the thing around and do a 360 on the street. One time I flipped the kart onto myself in the road, not a fun day. This video is such a nostalgia trip. I vividly remember those pedals, the seat, the back u bar behind the engine and that toggle switch under the steering wheel.Oh yeah i had to add my cart was Blue! My brother turbocharged it with a gas powered leaf blower and cooked the piston ring. A worthy send off indeed.

[@CarsandCameras]

Five years later, we found another $50 go kart!

[@mrmaddoxp]

I got a more off road one of these free from a friend a few months ago that has a tecumseh 6.5 on it. I’d say Ike’s probably right. I slapped a $10 carb on it and it runs great!

That one wheel peel spitting mud all over the place is cracking me up. Add in having to sit off center just to get some traction and it makes this one of the funniest episodes of Cars and Cameras I've seen in a while.

[@gavincline209]

Man, I built one 98% like this with my dad as a kid. Even the metal rods on the pedals. Best fun I ever had with a 5hp Briggs.....literally right down to the wire running the same way for throttle cable!!!! Lol never figured out a better way to make a mechanical linkage that would actually work good. Still have it and gonna restore it with my son. Fun little yard karts.

Hello from Queensland Australia, Isaac, you and John, need to make that cart much longer so you can fit in it, without it looking like the gocart got shrunk in the wash, before you rode it. Also get rid of that single drive wheel and put a live axle on it, before you or John hurt yourselves majorly downstairs, trying to get traction with that single wheel drive, OUCH!! THAT'S GOTTA HURT.

[@deemckoy4990]

Hey that's literally the go cart my my father brought me back in 1989 when good year tire service sold them they came with 5hp Briggs and stratton engines.

I Got One With That Motor.. paid $200 had to Do a Luh Work but runs Bad ass

[@DCTV1234]

I’ve had a number of the pacesetters of that kind. All of mine have been one wheel drive. As you’ve probably figured out by now they’re a ken-bar model kart made throughout the 90’s and maybe part of the late 80’s. and this particular model was a base model. Nothing fancy just your run of the mill yard kart. I believe almost all of them came with a Tecumseh engine. Not sure what HP but if I had to guess I’m sure it would’ve came with a 5.5HP. I have seen some with the Briggs flathead “fun power” engines. They’re very common but what’s different about yours is the pedals which I don’t think are original to the frame.

[@itsraiden9375]

I wanna get one of those and put 4 engines on it

[@tommyanderson3560]

John, ike. Let me say this again. When you do bearings in wheels. The proper way to do it. Find a pipe that fits your axle shaft and measure the inside width between the bearings and cut a spacer to keep the bearings from ever being overtightened. Actually doing this will help you keep bearings longer

The ultimate in "back yard" mechanical ingenuity. Been there and done that. But for some reason I can't bring myself to do this sort of thing any more. I'd make a serious try to resurrect stuff like this. Maybe because I was a mechanic for a top 10 off-road motorcycle racer for a few years. Maybe, just not sure. I just see so much cringe worthy stuff on this channel .. but .. I .. can't .. look .. away ..!
