DIY Off Road Go Kart Lift + Post-Mini Mayhem Carnage

Today we're upgrading our Yerf Dog Spiderbox powered by a GY6 engine. We're installing a new carburetor, torque converter belt, and clutch rollers to freshen up the engine, and we decide to lift the front end of the go kart. Unfortunately the new longer shocks we had were too long for the off road go kart, but we were able to make brackets (with no welding required) that allowed us to lift the go kart by about 3 inches using the original shocks.

I get so upset knowing that I don’t have a relationship with a friend like this , you guy are absolutely the best of friends that I’ve ever seen, you guys have so much fun and get to do what you love I’m so envious, you guys helped me out a few months back with my go kart and y’all told me what to do in the comments and I appreciate it so much ! You guys are one of the true KZbin channels out there that give happiness to people and I’m glad that I watch ever single one of them when they come out , you guys are the homies for real

[@jessewilliams2990]

You could build new upper shock mounts for the front and use the bigger shocks and get more travel from your suspension

[@Magros16]

and slightly bigger wheels

[@chevc321]

Put a sleeve on the tie rod. if you hit a rock/bump and cause bump steer the tie rod will snap at the weld. This has happened to me and left me stuck on the trail and no way to fix it until I got home.

[@therednecklife6355]

Aww bad luck

Now that we're back from Mini Mayhem, we have our work cut out for us to upgrade the fleet!

Hi John. Do you have any information on where the Oregon Gambler Minibike Enduro is that you are going to May 18th/19th?

[@83cjwest]

I would like to send you guys a set of rear tires for this kart... where can i send them to???

[@jong3964]

Needs better tires

[@centurion_053]

"NOOO, you won't regret it! Lemme get out..." Priceless.

[@georgeshowalter8011]

If that engine is strong...build it and replace the shaft!

[@FAKE-NAME]

Gy6 engines commonly out live whatever Chinese frame they are put in so I believe they should start listening to ppl and work on the engine, the shaft is only $30canadian on amazon.ca so like 15usd. I left an extensive gy6 engine performance parts list 4 them in 2 videos and they have ignored it so far.

[@ryanchristensen2123]

I have built 2 gy6 go karts and the engine of choice I would get would be a 232cc long case gy6 engine. Makes the most torque and horsepower that you get out of a drop in engine

[@dylanheadrick3789]

These buggies only accept short case engines. You can still take a short case and get the same displacement and stroke however.

[@Kyle_gallegher]

Idk man for 300 bucks I'll weld a plate for a 18 hp duromax

[@kyfiss9176]

Stretch the rear swing arm 4" And lift it so you can run a ATV tire in the rear. On the front you can locate the strut mount lower to allow you to run a longer shock for longer suspension travel and not lift it so much.

[@Jamesroberts98]

my 150 gy6 moped went from 35 mph to 65 by just installing a non limited cdi

[@joshmcnutt1914]

Then your cdi was bad a scooter* is alot lighter than this kart.

[@Daniel-jw3of]

I just put a new top end on my gy6 150 3days ago. How long do I have to break in the new Piston before I can rip at full throttle? And did u get the orange or blue CDI box? I got the orange one but am waiting till I break in the motor before I put it on.

[@FAKE-NAME]

@@Daniel-jw3of when I did mine i was told 100 hrs I only did 50hrs break in. With the no rev limit cdi and me riding wot after break in I was noticing it getting a bit hot so i upgraded the oil pump and added an oil cooler. Been fine since and it's been about 4 years no engine issues.

360P life!! I love it!!

[@jeeper426]

y'all might look into wider tires for the monster truck, maybe lawn mower Rear turf tires for the front and the bigger ATV tires on the rear for traction might help with the "tippyness" of the build, i will say i'm impressed that the little GY6 powered kart was able to do all that it did with minimal work, pretty capable and loads of potential there

[@johnathanferrell5057]

Thanks for doing a gy6 project. Love the videos. Keep up the great work!!!

Nice guys!! I can not wait to see what tires you put on it. Put a bigger shaft on it, that engine is great

[@demonic477]

the one best mod I have seen for one of the Yerf dogs for after the carb and the brakes is a good old fashioned set of woolly bugger tires they works for grass and dirt and work ok in the mud without being to over the top . Ebay and most hard ware stores still sells them and you can get them in 8 , 10 , and 12 in sizes the best part they just work really well .

[@brianproffitt7263]

Patel tires,,, racing mud tires, DO IT man !

[@Rocketman442-RC]

Great video as always guys. I for sure say it needs the reverse box installed. 2 as far as speed I qouod not change it other than maybe a couple teeth on gearing. Its got great torque which is what you want to have for offroad. Speed would come as byproduct if you get a slightly larger and more aggressive tire.

[@kinglou5442]

LEGEND HAS IT, THAT THE CARS AND CAMERAS GUYS HAVE A GY 670CC........

Hey guys I'm the one with the Hawkeye if you turn the front shocks all the way up and weld the rear shock mounts in 2 in you get a 2" lift and 13" of ground clearance in the middle

[@paulalejandro6656]

I had one of these years ago, I used Honda 300ex front spindles to add front brakes and used 300ex shocks on the front and rear for a better ride. You should of changed the clutch rollers out to sliders, you get better bottom and top end. Buggy parts northwest also sells upgraded coils and CDI boxes for these.

[@G56AG]

Ladies often pay a lot of money to get a mud treatment just like you got for free! Turf tires are designed for lawn mowers so they don't tear your yard, they aren't designed for traction, especially in mud, as evidenced by the several times I've gotten my garden tractor stuck in my back yard.

[@jakeds84]

[@shawnstrode3825]

[@jaredmism]

“You did send it sir” 😂

[@terminalpsychosis8022]

The mad mud run was awesome. Testing purposes only. :P New carburetor sounds good. River crossing ftw! With dirt knobbies even. You need a few sets of threaded camber arms for front adjustment. There better stuff to throw a good engine in.

[@BirdBlack1232]

You should make a mini tow truck for your Go-Karts that brake down

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

you don't need a new engine , JUST A TOP END KIT .. BIG BORE !! ..ENJOYED..

[@GoKartsandMiniBikes]

I love my spiderbox. I stretched the rear frame and widened it to 62 inches with some meaty treads on it. Gonna cut more teeth in the steering rack for better turn radius

[@buttercupwalker]

I play with several gy6 engines..i'll always recommend checking valve lash....every one i've messed with needed the valves adjusted.

Them gy6 engines have good power, I for my self have a tomberlin punisher 2 2007 150r I upgraded it to 1500 rpm yellow springs on the clutch and changed my 32 tooth sproket to a 45 have added a racing CDI and 27 inch tires on the back. I have no problems with mud, trails or hills.

[@mopedmessiah]

The 171 kit is great for price vs performance. Its also the biggest you can go without boring the case. But more free exhaust, a carb you can adjust your air fuel on the side, that stuff. You can buy a 232 engine with over 20 hp, but its fairly expensive. Its the king of kings when it comes to GY6 tho. But the 171 should be bolt on kit for most engines with a bigger head and whatnot. And as for why it was cutting off when y'all were stuck, they don't like getting jostled around then let back to idle. Mine dies if I do a burn out and the back tire bounces. Floats are waaaay too easy to bounce around

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Tire swap back tires from Yerf,to front of Monster,and Taller V-treads on back of both.More top end,and of course grip.You can do easy mud guards too,including can around air filter on Yerf so it doesn't pack with mud.

[@floridafenceland1137]

Y’all should try the tractor supply bar tires on a project I bet they’d do well

[@fartingduck5316]

Ike's towing to the rescue

[@stoneybologna__]

the biggest gy6 you can get is the Taida 232cc. You can make any GY6 go 80mph but the engine size just makes the get up and go faster. Bigger displacement is more torque. Basically GY6 are Honda clone engines for scooters

[@willmc8310]

Love the channel. For all high performance gy6 parts visit the ncy store. I do believe the biggest bore you can go up to is a 2.32. You should do more work on gy6 go karts coz I have a gy6 scooter. Kind regards from the United Kingdom.
