Reviving a FORGOTTEN BIG BLOCK Race Go Kart!

We love racing go karts at CarsandCameras, especially racing karts that have been retired for the track, and are now yard karts. They're low to the ground, handle great, and can take a decent amount of power. We're working on Charles' big block Briggs and Stratton powered yard racing go kart in today's video! It needs TLC, it's not running right, the exhaust is restrictive, and more. Then, we have a John vs. Charles racing showdown around our Dust Bowl 500 racing oval.
Thanks for Watching!

It’s big block week at CarsandCameras!

[@ktmsucksass]

Yo

[@kolbypeschon2697]

That thing looks mean

[@pookysdad4884]

Chas, did ya take the governor out?

[@pookysdad4884]

Ya know what you guys need for the new shop? A dyno!

[@CaneAtvse]

We need a revival amd update on the drag rail

[@miltonbayne6649]

As much as I like you guys, this new kid is a breath of fresh air. Love his enthusiasm and work ethic. Thanks for hiring him on, he is a GREAT addition to the team!!

[@macinfloydvolk]

@NuBz I just want to know if Ike bought his vette

[@carbide1968]

Charles was a great choice and a new team member is just what they needed and the timing is spot on with Ike's busted arm.

[@pauls466]

Im with you all the way , Nice kid for sure.

[@guerrillaradio9953]

Dude that old generator's happier than a tornado in a trailer park... he's lovin' life!

[@photondebuger45]

Is that a mater joke lol jk jk I’m sure anyone would say that too

[@hankyspanky1987]

@@photondebuger45 weeeee hooooo

[@joeljolley9041]

'm Nnn

[@fergusonhr]

I'm so impressed with how Charles handles himself in the shop...he is very open to accepting criticism and always asks for advice when doing something he's not 100% comfortable doing for the first time on his own...I wish I could find a guy like him in my bathroom remodeling company...its SO dam hard to find a Charles

[@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer]

If you notice, he’s becoming the thumbnail model for C+C too.

[@IosuamacaMhadaidh]

Being open to criticism and able to ask for help when needed equals an efficient and safe worker.

[@negromalunch]

I'm from Argentina. Get me to united states and I ll be your charles! Lol

[@CamaroRick]

Charles is a smart man, just a few times letting off the throttle each lap to make sure John leaves with the win. Job security 🤣

[@gregphillips.1312]

"It works as a Bottle opener" Charles "I tried it this morning", roll The Doors, Roadhouse Blues. "Woke up this morning and got myself a Beer"!

[@spocagain]

Charles was a great addition. I like what he brings to the table.

[@andyjackson2406]

I was coming here to comment exactly that. He fits in so well that it feels like he has been part of the team for years.

[@thebusbums2825]

Is it Bacon?.. does he bring Bacon to the table?

[@jcarleezy]

I've been thinking this for as long as he's been on the channel.

[@wogelkrafts]

Much agreed! :)

[@agent_smith...]

I so glad you guys are getting a proper garage. The shack works fine and all but you guys deserve the size of space to be able to work on more than 1 project at a time. You guys rock!!

[@jimhurt7129]

M,

[@TC-ys4qj]

Charles is awesome. No ego, just all brains and entertainment.

[@funnyfudgeman16]

Who else thinks Charles is a great addition to the cars and cameras team?

[@haroldsmith1531]

I’m glad that I’m seeing this. I’ve been thinking the exact same thing. I did not like the dude before

[@Jasonsminiadventure]

Literally everyone.

[@systomattic8469]

I'm so glad Charles has joined the team

[@robsdeviceunknown]

Charles and John are my favorites

[@jerrydempsey3490]

I am so glad to see how Charles is fitting in with the CarsandCamera family. Great addition to the team. 👍

[@rexhorning7228]

It did change things up in a good way Charles fits right in.

[@charlesirby9222]

I am too...there is something very relaxing about Charles...easy going & likeable right from the start.

[@JJ--CAR]

Just want to take a sec to wish the c and c family a happy kart anniversary. Tomorrow 8/19 marks the 7th anniversary of the 9 reasons to buy a yard kart episode. The one that pretty much started it all. Big shout out to John and Ike. And now congrats to Charles and Peyton also. But we can't forget a few others like early guests Burt and Tobias. John's girlfriend in those early episodes. Also big shout out to Taylor. But most of all ....Jeb Bush.lol Thanks for the years of entertainment and here is hoping for many more.

[@CarsandCameras]

Thanks JJ!

[@TylerDuysen]

those were the days crazy its been that long

[@WildfoxFabrication]

Rip Jeb the bush 😔😔

[@donaldfuller5041]

I think they canned Peyton. If not they should.

[@donaldfuller5041]

Charles do you know where that kart came from? Looks like one I raced at Thunder Road in Barre Vermont in the early 90s.

[@brivyplowman4620]

I think you should keep Charles on the team, if he wants to that is, seems like a genuine nice guy!. 👍

[@CrookCountySoftwear]

He's not going anywhere. I read positive comment about his ever week. Still yet to hear a negative comment tord him.

[@myps4uploadsfearalma842]

This channel is firing on all cylinders right now

[@waynerowlinson6177]

I loved seeing John's face when he found out he was faster! I love the friendly competition. I can't wait for Isaak to be healed up as well!

[@midbc1midbc199]

Charles is a good guy.....they made the right decision on adding him to the C&C team

[@mikeh2296]

I so happy Charles is apart of the channel keep him around 😎👍

[@jayeagle8363]

Charles is the third musqueteer guys...🤘✌🇨🇦👍..loving the vibe.

[@BennyTygohome]

Charles is awesome to have on this show.

[@albertpeterson7134]

Charles An Excellent Addition To Your Team. I Enjoy All The Videos

[@frederickgiordiano2105]

I agree with Eggplant, I love John and Issac, but Charles adds a new flavor to the team. His enthusiasm and general disregard for personal safety makes him fun to watch. He also has pretty good camera presence.

[@DrkRydrProductions]

Charles your doing a great Job, I know those Guys are glad/grateful to have you part of the team. Keep Up the Great Content Cars and Cameras.......... But Be SAFE

[@awpgaming7505]

i know i dont know you, but only know you for what i see on camera. But i think everyone these days always needs positive thoughts and some encouragement. But john dude super proud of you for how far you have came with this channel. Old days of the goofy ass dorky john n ike building outa your dads garage ripping up your dads lawn to having your own go kart paradise and having two shops and a great group a friends to help you along the way. Please dont get complacent and dont take them for granted or what you have. Seriously great job for sticking to the channel and pumping out content for us and you guys to enjoy! Thanks man!

[@Farmtractor]

A good name for that would be *BIG BLOCK BERTHA* !

[@charlesirby9222]

Please...start doing some video of the inside of the new shop & talk about interior plans & layout & such...the shop is the glue that keeps it all together, give her some attention also!

[@carbide1968]

Yeah, they are keeping it kinda secret and I would enjoy the entire concept to the final touches. Are they thinking about a small compressor room for noise or a couple attic fans or lifts for bikes and so on. I personally love planning a project out so you don't regret it later.

[@maxwelldarnell3361]

It is so much fun watching Charles with this team. I have always loved Ike and John, but man having Charles around is so awesome. Quickly becoming a favorite!

[@davidjessee7701]

I'm 54... learned how to weld in Ag.... my ag shop instructor taught us to say "Cover " when welding..... glad to see you guys using that precaution.....

[@BennyTygohome]

That little red pickup truck is so cool!

[@nickatkins9071]

Ike is such a supportive, patient, and all around great mentor.

[@bigbob7008]

Great video guys! New shop is lookin good... John is tough to beat on that track! Hey Charles, luv the Tyranis 🦖 stickers on your kart!

[@chuckhixson2725]

Carb just flaps in the wind, needs a bracket.

[@TippyTop420]

I seen that

[@90zzz09]

charles fitting in good! knows his place and is not annoying!. Ive been watching for 7 years

[@Delphi_Motorsport_]

i love it whenever you guys make or play with these high horse power racing karts and drag karts, its so much fun to watch, love you guys

[@joshivy7792]

Hell yeah chuck gets his personal kart fixed!!!!

[@jadenmarsh1946]

Its crazy to think I've been watching this channel for 7 years😳.. You guys and rather b welding have made my childhood from 12-19. I will always b thankful for your guys.

[@josh_9266]

Kart looks so natural on that track

[@pookysdad4884]

Right on time! For my first time ever!

[@Tacosgalore24]

That thing absolutely rips, even with the smooth tread.

[@NWLee]

For years now, you guys have kicked butt, and you just keep putting up great kart stuff, thanks. Charles' kart is the first one set up like an oval racer, very cool. Maybe bank the corners on that oval, just a little.

[@k30mtb78]

We need to see a built 670 or any V twin yard cart!

[@carsonshipley3287]

That would be stupid fast

[@dsegee88]

Those old outlaw karts are fun even in a backyard. I have a old kart that has a stock 212 wish I had enough room to let her rip

[@thrillhillracing41]

That trick kart frame has seen some better days. We raced them for years. Super tough. Still got spindles and parts for them in the race trailer.

[@darrellkelso9915]

I run a newer Trick, it is fast.

[@connorssmallengines6663]

I love all the Briggs and Stratton content! Great job guys, I’m loving all the variety in the content

[@mcsstudios101]

Congrats on the new building. Long time coming!

[@brianhotchkiss23]

So glad to see you guys, love your videos

[@TaylorTobitt]

can’t freaking wait to see more of the circle track ! y’all should make a board of times for it!

[@Knee-ko]

Good to see one of Owen's old projects feature in a C&C video. He got a flame-throwing hearse ??? 🤣🤣🤣 #partoftheteam 👍👍

[@rtaylor3634]

Just found you guys about 8 months ago and have enjoyed every video you guys have put out. Kinda partial to the drag rail as that's home for me. Keep up the good work and welcome to Charles! "I know what to do with my hands" - Charles

[@wadewright3556]

John jumped the start. That was the difference in time.

[@Chad_D]

Damn yall need a few pair of these ... it Rips!

[@crowtubecrozier2857]

You guys are the best, Charles is a great great third member.

[@newbornlog2789]

Wait a minute we need to see the snow mobile powered go cart. We gotta talk about chronological order here bobby.

[@HotrodHud]

Awsome. I love old race karts

[@weeman333briglio2]

[@SteveTheCanadian]

Great video guys! You inspire to build. Its wonderful

[@miketriesmotorsports6080]

You guys are awesome! You've come a long way from doing speed runs up and down that little neighborhood street!

[@joshblainer2652]

Dang Charles welds look pretty good

[@docdetroit146]

Looked great guys. The carburetor was bouncing around. May want to shorten intake or make a carb support

[@DaxMapsOfficial]

I joined youtube in 2012 and im pretty sure this was one of my first subbed channels. Crazy how far you guys have come since the og garage and tiny work area.

[@BMKknight]

Guys, If shipping was not so costly to New Zealand would have had a hat and tee shirt a long time ago. this is the best channel out there in this kind of format,Im coming up 65 and totally love this channel and Ike's channel also.

[@mikesimmons562]

Bigger shop this means more projects can't wait guys . Charles needs revenge beat on his own kart lol

[@theburgh8796]

So my son just showed this to me to get me on board in reviving his old go cart. It's on! Thanks guys

[@RockpileRanter]

You answered my question about the bottle opener..Im impressed, Thank you!!

[@jamesln5392]

That was a BIG new shop, can't wait for the walk around

[@teebuck394]

Love the revival it run great and it moves

[@DmontXx91xX]

They need 2 more of thoes.. a build off between John an Issac.. having a race with all 3 would be super cool an fun to watch

[@andybowyer3602]

You fellas r just living the dream!!👊✊💨💨💨👍

[@bldallas]

Love the zip-tie sheetmetal work.

[@johnmorgan1629]

Like the pro-racing move, having a bigger wheel on the side taking the most stress.

[@TippyTop420]

That Cart is fast as the day is long , great video boys

[@CrookCountySoftwear]

Still yet to see a negative comment about Charles in the comments. Everyone loves him. Perfect timing. You guys getting old in a way and needed some young motivation in the shop.

[@allenmichaud1605]

I can't explain at all in any words how much im looking forward to all the fab tools to be in one spot. Bender and notcher at ikes. Plasma table at John's. The new shop will be awesome guys

[@westbankboy7524]

Man I think that plasma cutter is the best investment y’all have ever made!!! 😁😁😁

[@colinatkinson8236]

Hey guys love the content!

[@kcraig51]

Good move replacing the carb. As son as I seen it was Nikki, I knew that was the only option! Been there, done that...over and over and over.

[@fleuriejeanpierre]

New shop looks great guys, you deserve all those blessing and im sure the builds will get better with the shop upgrade...

[@armedinbama]

That kart is a true hot rod! Man, that looks like so much fun! 🇺🇸

[@Buck1954]

Sure am looking forward to sir Ike to be back in the saddle.

[@hutchdw77]

Slo-mo drifting shots are the best.

[@jamesglenn2006]

[@spyder7758]

Got my pins order placed, you guys do great work and it shows how much you love what you do, good on you for making your own path

[@gamecockmike175]

That thing is awesome. Man that carb done the trick. I'd love to see it on a bigger track and even a top speed run. That made my night right there. Yeah the new guy should stick around. He seems to know a pretty good bit and would make a good edition to the team.

[@lizzard7473]

Yeah!

[@dentasla]

Awesome Guys

[@reckless3008]

That thing is a beast when it's running right!

[@professionalsinprogress]

Yall Rock!! huge fan!

You can almost never reuse them gaskets in those carbs, they always rip, or at least leak when reassembling them. Love the vid!

[@akonrizzle]

Love flat Karts and mini bikes, just found your channel and im hooked

[@paulholla]

That things a beast when it was running right towards the end!!
