Junkyard Go-kart WILL IT RUN!?!

On todays episode of GROB I revive a home made go cart for some kids in my neighborhood. They stated that their grandfather got it from a junkyard and it never got running. I hope you enjoy this short video and if you do like, subscribe and hit the notification button to my channel. Thanks for watching, keep those wrenches turning.

That thing is an absolute machine😂

[@bigwrenchtech]

What an absolute unit!

[@2koolchris291]

It’s so weird looking. I love it

[@isaacsoderlund9677]

The go-cart or John? 😂

[@jamesbigham9036]

I can definitely see you and your buddies making some junkyard Go karts and having a junkyard Go kart Grand Prix race? That could a lot of fun

[@riderofthenightfury]

Yep!

[@anthonyblacker8471]

The kids LOVE it, I'm going to bet mom and dad are a little pissed their grass is now RUINED forever! Awesome

[@chrisgage1051]

Dude, that flamejob has got to add at least 5hp on its own!

[@goldenrustorbust]

Oh 5 for sure at least 2

[@thelazyfishkeeper2730]

you just made that young man's day. not sure mom and dad will be happy the first time they see it driving down the road. lol

[@robertvance1873]

Your gonna make a Great Dad Someday John your a Good man.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Looks like kiddo having a hard time reaching the peddles to give it the beans 16:00

[@HandTightGarage]

14:15 - The look on the boys face when he first was pulling it out is priceless. I've never seen the look of overjoyed terror before.

[@tkskagen]

All thanks to your "work" with JYDiggs, I jumped on the bandwagon the moment I heard that you where going to host your own Utube Channel John, and you have done good brother!

[@SteveCutlerLive]

the puppers. panting is adorable. Sounds like a big drooly dawg!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Awww what a beautiful yellow English lab congratulations on the new family member

[@DeadReckon]

This is an abomination, a death trap, a glorious bastard with horrible paint... I love it...

[@bigwrenchtech]

Those kids will remember that for your decades

[@dyslexicredneck]

you got it runnin, now send it over to cars and cameras and let them do their thing. He would have a straight ripper.

[@williamyoast216]

Dad’s grass will never be the same. Small price to pay for kid smiles

[@PrinceWesterburg]

Its a gentle start, keep at it - its actually refreshing to not see someone dropping an 850cc race bike engine in, adding a ton of donated parts, adding snow tracks and making a monster thing that none ever uses adn you can't copy without winning the lottery! One day - but you gota start somewhere. You're very watchable and have the right sense of humour - stick at it! :o)

[@goldenrustorbust]

Hey thank you very much for the comment I really appreciate it 😁 it definitely made me smile

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Great video John what a great machine 18:34

[@MDMcVay11462]

Ok, now it just needs a small engine upgrade, like a sbc

[@jurisklavins2578]

That's a spicy unit - the flame paint job definitely adds a few HPs! 😎

[@jonhines9962]

As long as you keep putting out videos I’ll keep watching

[@robertmoczulski3096]

Nice video, great little project that didn’t cost a lot to get going and will keep the kids outside and entertained all summer long. That little cart moves for sure.

[@colinkorte6389]

Maybe a race in someone’s bean field! After they have been harvested of course!

[@exlonghauler]

John's racing team !! Awesome !!

[@jont0315]

See GROB "bent over on his knees" working on the machine. "Yeah you get in there real nice a deep like...."🤣🤣🤣 reference the car wash scene from Dodgeball lol

[@Charger389]

Maybe you should take the kid along for your next revival - he seems to be into that kinda stuff and could actually be a good help..

[@goldenrustorbust]

Thank you and I can see what I can do 😁

[@tommyhijmensen6257]

John is absolute the true man,the myth, the true legend and the true hero of these video's 😎 Keep em comming ! Greetings from Holland ❤🙏

[@goldenrustorbust]

Awesome thank you for tuning in 😁 greetings from the USA 🇺🇸

[@mikewingate284]

Well, now you did it! Telling those kids to go slow just insured petal to the metal, just like all young boys would do!

[@billmitchell7731]

Awesome. I love go karts and mini bikes 👍🏻💛🙏🏻

[@trentmoseley]

That doggo in the background. Lol

[@justindavis2856]

That is so cool!! I. Want a go kart so bad!!!!! 😢😢😢 Good on ya for helping those kids have a great time. Kids need to be able to do stuff like this. All the big kids like us always enjoy it too

[@chrisingle5839]

I just rewatched the Nascar-school bus/platform episode on JYD. Neat this popped up just now!

[@phil_townes]

Nice one John! Kiddo's face was a picture!

[@user-mp7ee9nn5h]

Bring back memories of my first go cart I road the tires off that thing

[@mihaigo693]

I LIKE TO SEE A SHORTER INTRO , THE REST OF THE VIDEO ITS SOO GOOD

[@chevymontmarlo]

I have to see that oldsmobile revival

[@shept.7736]

Agreed!!

[@goldenrustorbust]

Really?? Well then I guess I’ll have to put it out 😁 might be a little while though I have a big project in the making right now 😎

[@glenharper3136]

Thanks for the video.

[@goldenrustorbust]

No problem thanks for watching

[@markbernier8947]

Gotta love the Flames paint job ---- find a way to limit the throttle for these kids ---- that's a busy road right in front of their house --- we had an 8hp similar go kart at the shop to repair (customers came and got it too soon) ---- that thing went 45-50 mph, it was a blast --- these kids need a big field or a network of trails in the woods to drive this thing

[@goldenrustorbust]

I agree ☝️

[@highway445]

I built 5 carts, one for each of my grandsons. I made sure that I installed a kill switch by the steering wheel incase the throttle gets stuck wide open.

[@bretthibbs6083]

Good old Briggs and stratton flathead motor those things are tanks my lawnmower has a briggs flathead and it's close to 30 years old and still runs great.

[@tunerrestorations]

Man that is already running better than my project car!!

[@goldenrustorbust]

Lol better than all 4 of mine and the boat

[@SuEnRoD]

I love to see kids exposed to turning wrenches! Well done!!

[@BUILTFORDTOUGH79]

[@Fffffffffffffff130]

[@GarageWorx]

Sweet rig! I'd rock that.

[@johnhummingbird6837]

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

[@lordtickles1478]

great vid. love that u left the dog pooping in the one scene in the video lol

[@jeffpowers2916]

That was a cool thing to do for your neighbors kids. Good job John!

[@haroldfisher2256]

I grew up there in Davenport off of 53rd and Fairhaven Rd and had a blast as a kid riding in the woods with the neighborhood Sears 50 moped before mopeds where even known about. We would play tag with hedge Apples and the only way you could get caught was by being hit from your friend with one. (OUCH) I think there is still a track off Lorton Ave.

[@goldenrustorbust]

Really that would be awesome to see if it’s still there, and hedge apples definitely do hurt

[@MrSEANDEERE]

That's an awesome little kart! Little dude is gonna have smiles for hours!

[@Demo12345]

When you were putting the inner tube in, you should have used talcum powder. You'd coat the tube in talcum powder to act as a dry lubricant that way it doesn't bind in the tire. Then when you have the tube in the tire (after making sure the valve stem is in the right orientation or else it'll pulls itself into the rim when you add air) you would then inflate and deflate it a few times to make sure that inner tube orients itself correctly. The talcum powder helps it to slip and flip into place, inflating and deflating just helps to make sure it orients itself correctly. Then when you're done inflating and deflating, I suggest adding a zip tie to the base of the valve stem and put it on tight, that way it helps prevent the stem from disappearing into the rim if it goes flat.

[@goldenrustorbust]

Hey thanks for the tip I’ve never heard of using that before but it makes sense and I will do it from here on out 😁

[@Todd_G_FPV]

Pretty cool lookin gokart man, good find

[@emborg3145]

the red flames give it +2 hp

Congratulations on fix up Go Kart John :) and that family going have lots fun also when growing up I never had one but lots others did in past !

8hp and no suspension. Sounds fun. Time to get some paved hot laps or… you know.. whatever they want to do because it’s their’s and not mine.

[@anaphylastiks]

It's amazing to see how the young ones learn and mimic. Good on ya brother for sharing your humility. We definitely need more officers with your mindset. Today in NZ the police were being praised as heroes for doing their job, and we still have no idea if they managed to kill the guy. Police choose their job, wish I was called a hero for killing pest animals, it's much more difficult and expensive.

[@jasonpetrich4141]

Yo that's awesome!!! I Had an old honda oddasy in 2005 that had a full body kit kinda like that was yellow & red had a 250r motor, so sweet dude

[@goldenrustorbust]

I bet that thing was a ripper

[@jasonpetrich4141]

@@goldenrustorbust scary fast & kinda out of control all the time. But thats the point right on the verge of dangerous but not enough to kill ya

John it's been a while hows married life treating Well between the mrs & work thats why your mia a lot but great see your still going strong ! Yeh i'm a old man retired but i still following all the gang plus more ! Get him a small [illow for behind his back so he reach the pedals better he be tearing the grass out in no time at all !

[@goldenrustorbust]

Well I’m still engaged and my wedding is coming up in September we have everything all planned out and I’m having my bachelor party soon…..yes junkyard digs is invited 😁 thank you for watching and I definitely will get him a pillow to be closer to the pedals

[@anaphylastiks]

I think there were beers involved, even though I haven't seen any so far, I have a good sense.

[@goldenrustorbust]

There was the first day but zero were consumed when the kids were around

[@anaphylastiks]

@@goldenrustorbust This is the way.

[@Gkitchens1]

To be fair these should be called golf carts instead of go karts. Cuz it's sort of the noise you make when you crash them. Maybe go kart fits better though. It'll make you go straight to the hospital at some point lol

[@briantruck2284]

Check inside of tire for sharp objects before installing iner tube

[@goldenrustorbust]

It looked pretty clean and there was no rust I forgot to mention that thank you 😁
