750cc Cross Kart Returns! 85 MPH Backyard Built Go Kart!

I punched a hole in the oil pan of our last Cross Kart engine, a DOHC 750cc out of a 1982 Honda CB750. Other than the puncture in the oil pan, the engine was tired, a little smoky, and not as powerful feeling as it once was. We picked up another Honda CB750, this time cheaper than the last (we only paid $150 for the whole non running bike!). We fixed stuck valves, rebuilt the top end with new gaskets and seals, and installed it in the cross kart! While this engine still needs tweaking, it's awesome to have the CarsandCameras cross kart back in action!

The Cross Kart needs much taller tires to make it more off-road worthy. And and engine skid plate. :)

[@CarsandCameras]

Definitely on the skid plate- we’re not sure the front suspension can handle bigger tires. Only one way to find out

[@sterman7632]

@@CarsandCameras it'll be fine

[@bldallas]

I agree! Y’all should check out the extreme “rock bouncers” they make and film over on the Busted Knuckle YT channel. Not saying you need to go that extreme, but bigger tires and longer shock (more travel)would make a huge difference in how that buggy handles and it could smooth out the ride (somewhat).

Carbs, always the carbs, needs one per cylinder as much as a pain to tune them can be... :P

[@Lysdexis]

2 per if sized right and on an actual manifold will work. 1 sized right on an actual manifold would even work. But 2 on that rigged up mess definitely ain't what it needs.

[@kollinknack9288]

I would 100% agree, BUT they had the old engine running perfectly on the exact same fuel system.

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

A removable skid plate under your engine is probably a good investment guys.

[@Tx_sportster]

When I watch this show I feel like I’m hanging with friends! Keep it up guys!! Love y’all’s channel!

[@waltcomotorsports3994]

All i learned from this video is that a bigger shop is getting built…. Excitement level 100

[@crudboy12]

I would guess that the center two cylinders are getting the lionshare of the fuel because of that intake setup.

[@theunseen8054]

I'm happy its back up and running

Glad the old cross cart is still kicking butt. On a side note...something small that i miss from the old vids is the trips to town. Always loved the way you guys edited it. Cheers and happy Monday

[@CarsandCameras]

More trips to town! Noted.

[@backyardrestorations]

Great to see it back!

[@williamramsey4431]

Hell yeah. Your best build in my opinion. Nice work guys

[@MrGixxer1300r]

these vintage engines work really well with Rotella 15/40 non synthetic oil. I use this oil in mostly SOHC 750 engines, and many XS650 Yamaha engines. Car type synthetic oil and oil with a friction modifier additive is what you want to stay away from. I wished I lived close to you guys I would drop by with a box of jets and tune some real power into that thing. :) Great work men this is some real enjoyable content.

It would be awesome on a paved road course. You guys definitely need to smooth out some bumps on the trail. Back bones don't last forever. I'd rent a road grader and just level it out all the way around.

@@CarsandCameras how is it possibly more comfortable it is incredibly awkward to watch. What would you do if you had a right hand drive car. Also you can tell Ike shifts are quicker because he uses the hand that's next to the shifter. Now that I've said it it doesn't annoy me as much. Keep up the good work fellas!

Hinge the top of the cage like a fighter jet. Would make it easier to get in and out.

[@ghomerhust]

yeah thats not a bad idea. some big pins through a flange that mates two pipes together in front to close it. wouldnt be that hard to engineer, unless theyre relying on the upper bars for overall frame strength

[@3v068]

I dont know if you guys actually know this but fun fact, in percussion in particular percussive (drumming specialized) pieces, a brake drum is actually used as a brake drum. Sometimes we even will file it and sand it down to work on particular frequency responses.

Even in a weakened state, the cross kart rips!

[@85superchris]

Some bigger knobby tires would help it out. Skid plate for the engine would protect it. It may help to totally re do the suspension. Longer arms more travel taller tires. It's got the power. Just needs more tire and suspension in my opinion. Love the channel love this build. Thanks guys.

[@elliotmiller1674]
