$50 Murray Junk Yard Go Kart ~ Lives & Dies

[@FireAndGasoline]

LMAO.. You chasing it with the brake cleaner to keep it going was hilarious!

[@dodgeme1986truck]

Trick for cutting the foam use an electric knife like would be used in the kitchen. Also if you cut the foam about a half inch oversize for you seat plate it will wrap the edge of the seat plate smoothing the edges making it look more professionally done for those who never recovered a seat. Also the t-nuts should seat in flush to the board best way to install t-nuts is on the floor where the board wouldn't bounce. Also the best plywood to use is marine grade. And you should glue the foam to the pan plate before covering it as it prevents the foam from sliding and bunching up when cornering and braking.

Thanks!

I would say bringing lil red up the hill was the craziest thing I ever saw; if I hadn’t have seen a 13yr.old boy pouring gas in a carb. From a coke bottle,sitting on the fender with the hood off while his 15yr. Old brother drove the old car down a country road.. but I was 15 and thought it was funny at the time. Bad thing was his daddy owned a little junk yard and a wrecker they could have used!😊

[@Akabufford]

Love this episode. It speaks to me on a personal level. Grown men playing with childrens go carts. Buds playing chase the cart with break cleaner. Another buddy losing his glock in the leaves. GB America.

[@poco1990]

Man wish I lived close by. I was a sewing machine mechanic for 23 yrs. ,we could have a blast.

I think your seat looked better than anything I have ever made!..that was a great video..I like those special nuts you used in the seat..that will help me for future builds

[@johnduff6436]

This was awesome! I love a guy on a fifty$ cart dropping his shooter!🤣

[@johnelledge6685]

Yall need a kool garden tractor with that big predator for recovery missions! Love the channel.

[@brandonfloyd6321]

sometimes you can put seat covering in a pillow case after cutting it to size and putting it in the dryer making it more ply able and stretchy then it doesn't require the stitches or folding in the corners.

[@Specialedoperations]

The ding when he took the ziptie off the clutch 👌

[@kencroft9753]

Great video for new comers! Thanks and we be watching. 😀👍

[@drivera4295]

Mr. Red Beard! You did OK on the seat covers. At lease your bringing the Go Karts and Mini bikes back to life. If it wasn’t for you guys and others these Go Karts will still be abandon are junked. Bringing it back to life for it to be ridden again. 👍🏽👍🏽up!

[@TheCowboyfromhell87]

That is definitely a Murray Explorer with a missing roll cage and engine swap. I took my cage off after roll over as a kid.

[@dougsmith2954]

Episodes like that are why I subscribe, like, and follow ya'll's channel. I'm think'n an episode of RedBeard push'n Mrs RedBeard on the Murray on an extended trail ride with lots of hill climbs. And hey, if you took the engine off, it'd be lighter!

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Lol we have a lot more coming man and thanks for sticking with us

[@dustinschings7042]

mustie1 showed me the other day you can use an electric carving knife (kitchen) for cutting foam padding with ease! Great video BTW!

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I know we need to get one

[@willbrooks1356]

Loved every second of the content! Your all on the right track!!!

Having fun and enjoying life. Made my day

[@CrazyWoody1989]

Lmao I live in Crossville, and found one of those old Murray's IDENTICAL to that the other day and the people wanted 500 bucks for it. Those things only cost like 750 or so bucks when they were brand new like 20 years ago!

[@gabbleredneck6318]

Was eny one waiting for him to staple his fingers on an axedent 😂 😂 😂

[@enginerd1776]

RB, love the channel and your testimony, keep up the great content! Seriously though- all the awesome workbenches you have and you decide to work on a piece of plywood on a chair... also the rivets on that 30 series back plate can be welded... don't trash it.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I will weld it back. I know lol I didn't want to mess my new pretty work benches up lol

[@calebschnur6265]

Great Job on the seat! I like it

[@LuchMobGarage]

Good job guys ! You too Lonnie 🙃 . Dig the sawhorse love the Tijuana tuck n roll as well man

[@EPsanddrags]

RBG does the big filter that comes with the kit does it fit on the mikuni or it only fits with the adapter on the stock carb?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

It comes with the performance kit and it does not fit the mikuni

[@shaynedumas4436]

[@robertpenton6929]

Your seat looked good to me and better than I could

[@rusgeorge7356]

Man, them kids looked like they were having a ton of fun ripping through those huge piles of leaves.

[@urbanpat1714]

What happened to the cage? Mine has a 6.0hp Tecumseh and a full cage along with Murray explorer vinyl stickers on the front of the kart (you’re missing the metal by the pedals). I think the only thing my kart doesn’t have is the plastic cover on the rear and some damaged wood on the bottom of the seat (common issue).

[@billypotter2262]

How do you only have 45k subs ive been here since the beginning of the channel and i i have to say you're the most consistent with the vids keep it up

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I appreciate it man. Hopefully we will grow a lot bigger this year

[@johnobrien4926]

RBG , Im a new subscriber . Just started doing my own builds, your videos are great . Giving me ideas and instrctions i need to continue. Thanks keep it up.

[@jimmiecornelius2057]

next project should be a 2 seated wrecker custom build gear low with a winch , fuel ,air, and a flat bed with all the off road riding you do you can go get what broken in the woods or on your land rev would be nice and a light on top .

[@RedBeardsGarage]

That would be sweet. I think we will do that.

[@1mu9st6ang5]

Yeah that’d be pretty awesome!

[@dsnester2754]

You should make a go kart that has heated seats, inclosed cave, air conditioning, maybe power steering, have lights. Maybe Evan you can make attachments for it like a mower like this comment so he can pin it. I think it is a awesome idea. You should also put a v twin on it and it would be like a utility luxury vehicle.

[@monkeyboy991000]

DsNester 😂😃

[@RedBeardsGarage]

We need to do a luxury go kart very soon

[@cruzlundy7376]

Your right, fully enclosed go kart with heat seats lights etc would be nice, street legal would be better tho

[@brandendavis6369]

The seat actually came out better than all the ones that I have made in the past. You should make a video on seats

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I may do a video on redoing a seat soon

[@Ryan-mg5ve]

That seat was really good

[@A_Sailors_Prayer]

That Kart has a longer than usual back, you should add a bit of length and have like a pick up truck kart! I'm from Australia so we call it a ute which in all honesty, is a smaller version of a pick up

[@brandonbrock6556]

I've got a project on a kart just like this right now. It's got dual wilwood calipers with a kohler magnum 18hp. If you want some power get a predator 670cc with aftermarket parts from go power sports now talk about some torque.

[@dtfr69]

the next seat you make try putting some fiberglass resin on the wood before putting it together. it makes the ply wood water proof

[@TitanGamersFTW]

red beard goes to walmart lol loved the footage

[@davekauffman8727]

You know that Low Oil indicator you disconnected? I hope you may want to hook that back up, Predator engines aren't Briggs & Strattons, so they won't last long without oil :-) Sounds like the wife was having just as much fun filming you as you were having on that thing. Great build!

Good job on the seats I love them

[@boostaddict_]

I really need to either fix the frame on mine or find a frame to transfer all my parts to. I have a Murray Explorer just like this but with a custom seat, a Honda GX270 and 3 splits through the frame

[@urbanpat1714]

BoostAddict mine is the same as this but has the full cage and decals (pretty good paint too). Full working condition, Tecumseh 6.0hp, drilled jets, ditched governor, coke can head gasket, modified air filter, 45mph top speed before I get too terrified on the road with the tires and alignment.

[@cainadkins3985]

Coke can?

[@dark-starchemistryfabricat2405]

@@cainadkins3985 lol the ole coke can head gasket….If you have ever busted a head gasket and you are losing pressure you can Jerry rig it by cutting a tin can open and flattening it out and make an impression of the head into the tin, then cutting it around the impression to make a “JIG” that works as a gasket…usually a very temporary fix.. Sometimes ends up being long term Im not judgin…my old Yerfie was basically held together with Band-aids and Bubblegum lol 😆

[@tenn_whlskey0626]

I have the go kart like that too been looking forward to upgrading the engine or put 420cc on it if you can help me out I found a 15hp for $225 if you think that's better

Im in Jersey, and im not having much luck finding a go cart frame to start a project, so if you can recommend something please do. and I would love to see what that cart goes can do with a 250 kx engine on it!

Oh and if the rivets aren't completely broke off and it's still in alignment you can weld it I welded mine 4 years ago and is still running strong just thought I'd let you know you don't have to buy a new one I love those Marie explorers

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I have heard they don't last a long time with the timing belts

[@user-neo71665]

damn I'm early. I'm surprised it didn't have lawnmower tires on it with that fan belt.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

Lol yeah I see those fan belts all the time on go karts

[@user-neo71665]

Same here along with replacing the rotted out seat with the cheapest folding boat seat they can find, and of course if the tires are not bald as slicks they go to walmart and get at least 3 different sized and/or brand lawnmower tires to put on it. When I picked up the last one the guy kept going on and on about the "new" tires to the point I thought he was attached to them. After I bought it and got it loaded up I asked him if he wanted them back and I think it ticked him off. It had 2 different brand 20 inch atv tires on the front and 2 16 inch turf saver tires on the rear. When I test drove it the thing was dragging the ground all over the place and had no traction.

[@DeliriousMindBovice315]

actually the back tires might be lawnmower tires when i bought my weedeater riding mower about seven years ago new it had those tires on it

[@user-neo71665]

Those are old knobbies, back in the 70s-80s just about any and all atvs had those factory. Kenda scorpions are a good example if they even still make them. I know back then atvs and lawn mowers shared rim sizing so it wasn't uncommon for guys to put the atv tires on a mower. We had a old rust bucket we mowed around our ponds with that had knobbies on all 4 corners back in the 80-90s because it would get stuck with turf tires.

[@DeliriousMindBovice315]

guess i didnt need to mention new to me not brand new

[@85chevysw]

What size belt is that? I have this kart and need the cvt belt

[@lucasmartin7800]

I have that same go kart how can I get the rear end off its bent can't get tires off either

[@johnchassie-rideout4927]

I've made seats before. But I always keep an eye out for someone throwing out a coutch and cut the back out it and grab a cushion for the foam. Only some have the good stiff foam. Did you try out the black pipe in the plumbing section to make handle bars? Great job on the seat bu the way. Love the vids

[@RedBeardsGarage]

We haven't tried the plumbing tube yet but I do have some. Probably going to look out for some couch seats for the future for sure.

[@tebeardenkahboom1]

Just for the sake of saving money and at least just for testing purposes only as you've heard said before. I, would have welded that back plate on that driven pulley to compensate for the busted rivets. That would have worked. Hope your doing good boss Redbeard

[@rncboy2]

If you have one avalible id do a cheap 22mm chinese pitbike carb they are a tad smaller then the mikuni but would be good for a stock internal engine build with a cheap short NR mikuni adapter manifold

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I may get one to mess with in a later video

[@rncboy2]

I think this one was around 16 bucks on Amazon they do sell jets for them if you needa go bigger or smaller

[@darringoodbrand6603]

If it was my kart I would widen back axle and widen the front put on bigger wheels and bigger suspension and put a faster motor ?
