1920's Go-Kart Build Start to Finish!

In this video I make a vintage style go kart inspired but the
"1920 Briggs & Stratton Flyer" !!! I've enlisted the help of a few friends,
Neil Pask and Corin Urquhart both visiting from Australia!

Awesome Jimmy! Thanks for letting us join in, it was fun times! You'll have to visit us some time (and bring Derek along too!). :)

[@corinkayaker]

Absolutely! What a fantastic end result too!!!

[@jimmydiresta]

thank you guys!!! happy we got this record xoxo

[@scottspropertyservices6877]

Hey Neil this looks suspiciously like Peter Brocks first car🤔 Did you give Jimmy any inspiration on this build?

[@jeremyspecce]

It was so great seeing all of your contributions to this project and how you pushed Jimmy even further than he would have gone. I only wish you were still going to be around for the big event!

[@s2pointoh]

I just said to myself-hey, I know that guy! Love seeing the collaboration! Love your content Pask!

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

Wow Neil Pask in the house! Pretty sure Neil and Jimmy together could build just about anything

I've often said Neil could probably make a jig to construct a nuclear plant in one operation. lol

Yep, they even built a friendship.

[@corinkayaker]

Haa yeah that's how I ROLL

[@TheGreasemonkey220]

It works as a CVT. As the rpm rises, it modifies the torque coming from the engine to the wheels. it mimics changing gears to a closer ratio as the rpm increases, as the rpm decreases it brings the ratios further apart like 1st gear would be in a vehicles transmission.

clutch is called a cvt [continuesly variable transmission]

[@steveslenderman]

Fantastic build! Great way to break it in in Jimmy’s speedway. I see a whole new class of “retro” style model T cart races on the horizon.

[@JustTex]

Corin and neil , what a team. Cheers 4 sharing sir.

[@jorgeconcheyro]

What a lovely surprise to see Pask over there.... Cheers guys!

[@UploadingOCD]

I'm 44 y.o, owner and pre owned of some nice cars, but a cool go kart like this is still a childhood dream of mine.

[@pmdinaz]

Lot's of big brain in that shed!!! Neil, Corin and Jimmy!?! whoa..

[@joe5938]

You might want to come up with a plan B for the wheels. This one's aren't meant to hold up to a sideload. They're meant to lean into corners.

[@jrmintz1]

Great to see Neil and Corin!

[@kriskirkpatrick9038]

It's a like a CVT (centrifical variable timing) transmission

[@toolscrounge]

I thought that too.

[@glewcifer]

The @ViceGripGarage t-shirt was a nice touch too! :)

[@itarry4]

Hmm Pask Makes, wonder what he's doing there. Hopefully a big collab. Great to see you working together.

[@jerimybyrd7203]

Nice!!Love the Vice Grip Garage shirt

[@rafezetter8003]

The look on your face at the end Jimmy, bloody brilliant. Overgrown children across the world (myself included) are green with envy.

Keep the wonderment of a child it is a beautiful thing to see such joy.

[@tobymilo8625]

I can never get enough of your videos. I’ve been a fan for a very long time. I learned so much from your work. Thanks for always sharing your talents with us. I love making Halloween props so my favorite one is the first coffin build. Must have watched that 100 times lol

Now you need to make a mini street cleaner to drive around the track and scrub it nice and clean for the races!

[@tree_carcass_mangler]

Cool build! Thanks for posting and thumbs up!

[@kandkmotorsports]

steering arms should point to center of rear axle, king pin should be angled so it points to center of spot where tire touches the ground. Also should have king pins rolled back a few degrees. Great cart and nice to see the others helping!! Thanks for the video Jimmy.

[@davebaker9128]

I was very pleased to see the details you have outlined, the geometry of the front axle/steering components will make a world of difference, good to see you have a simple explanation that is absolutely correct, 👍

[@clementsmallengine4833]

You did a lot of tig welding in this one!!! 💪💪💪 cant wait till Saturday we are gonna tear that track up!!!

[@jimmydiresta]

❤❤❤

[@Mr.Stacey-L-SCC]

That this was a group project makes it so much better! I loved the teaser shots of the trial run weaved into the build video. Thanks for sharing Jimmy!

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful, Jimmy! Amazing work!!! 😃 Unfortunately, Neil shouldn't be there anymore... But if he is, give him a hug for me! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@velocelt]

This was awesome! I got a real "1950's Popular Mechanics Projects For Young Boys" vibe from this!

[@TheTgranber]

Still can't get around the fact that you got Neil Paskin just casually joining your project. On a more general level I think the tools in a shop matters less than all the people either in the shop or along your maker journey. Great build!

[@Shawnbbeckner]

Sick build so inspiration seeing pask and corin play there part to. Really showcases the versatility and use of every machine you have. Definately one of my favorites so far. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@PiazzaWoodWorks]

Very cool Some king pin inclination would help steering and tyres immensely!

[@noitallmanaz]

If Neil is there, you know it gets done right and with some style!

[@richball9576]

Cool build! I was surprised to see Neil at your shop. He's awesome! Reminds me of Popeye 😂

[@jonramsey1545]

Pask in the house! Best 2 makers on YT!

[@jimmydiresta]

thank you !

[@sgsax]

Super fun build, love the jalopy look! I've been following Neil for a while now and love his work too. It's fun to see you both working on a project together. I've heard him talking about "my mate Corin" many times, so it's fun to finally see him in front of the camera. Thanks for sharing!

[@corinkayaker]

he has a better head for Radio, from someone who knows him....

[@SciPunk215]

Sure, we'll just whip up a go-cart... sounds easy, right? So many details!! At one point I said, this does NOT look sturdy... then Jimmy adds steel rod trusses and it becomes solid as a rock. Very cool that some bona fide craftsman stopped by to lend a hand.

[@jeffharvey8283]

This would be so awesome. Great project.

[@richiejames928]

Cvt. constantly variable transmission. found in every twist and go scooter world over. Pretty flawless design in fairness.

Loved the build and VGG teeshirt.

[@pkempf11]

Love seeing the lads from Australia here! (FWIW his full last name is Paskin, not just Pask.)

[@FullSteamDesigns]

That was a great build. I hope to make it up there one year, at least to see everyone else run.

[@corey6393]

All of that, AND a Vice Grip Garage t-shirt? Life is complete.

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Wow! What a fabulously exciting, swift & awesome build, everything coming together into a splendid & beautiful red race machine, the components competing with each other to take their station without delay as though in a racing pit stop, desperate for the track. Such a joy & delight to watch! Thank you for sharing!

[@Steelcrafted]

The clutch mechanism is called a torque converter or a CVT....same thing... 👍🏻

[@TotalBoat]

We loved being able to watch the full process of this build!

[@rudolphwillemse7885]

The transmission you use is a VARIOMATIC, invented by Hub van Doorne, Eindhoven-The Netherlands in the ‘60th. It was first used in the DAF33 automobil, a funny little dutch familycar, my father owned one.

[@BUTCH0120]

What I like about Jimmy's videos: MOAR! fab, less talk!

[@aserta]

I was gonna say, you could've gone with smaller square section, but then i remembered, we're not that young and light anymore. :)) Great go-kart!

[@joepie221]

I have a feeling there are some parades in that buggys future !! Nice work Jimmy.

You're such an inspiration Jimmy! Not only in making, but life in general. Watched a documentary on you last night on youtube and just wanted to thank you for the inspiration over the years. I've been watching since Hammered & Dirty Money and followed you along the years. From when I was a teen, now I'm 35. Now I'm working on getting my own land oasis's and have my work spaces in Northern California. Even though I have never met you in person, I can tell you're a genuinely cool dude and when I "grow up" (don't think we ever will) I want to be like you! Love your videos and wanted to say Thanks!

It's called a CVT "Continuous Variable Transmission" DAF made it 1958 for their passenger cars. Others have followed. Nifty little thing. :)

[@chrishenniker5944]

DAF even used it in Formula 3, to good effect.

[@hansthebeast9740]

Pask is gonna need an English wheel now.

[@PaskMakes]

That has been said! :)

[@millmechman]

Jimmy buying Starret when Harbor freight would suit his needs just fine.

[@jeremyspecce]

This looks incredible and I can’t wait to see it in the flesh! Even keeping up on Instagram there are so many more parts on this build that I thought were off the shelf components that you actually built from scratch. But besides that, the visual appeal of this thing is just off the charts. I didn’t think you could outdo last year’s build but it looks like you did🙌🏻

[@jackthompson5092]

Great go cart Jimmey.

[@tombell9964]

Great wee build, a bit of a tweak of the king pin inclination would be of benefit😊

It's a centrifugal clutch.

its a variomatic drive system

A chainsaw has a centrifugal clutch^^

This product is call a torq-a-verter. Way better than a centrifugal clutch because of the variable geometry.

That was wheely good……..while they lasted. The jalopy is looking great, would love to see a couple of feet shaped pedals for your stop and go , and maybe a bit of nitrous 😁

[@cest7343]

Amazing! Always the just about perfect ratio of exact versus eyeballed! The technician and the artist all in one craftsman. Always a treat to watch, always something valuable new to learn. Also there might be scratch built go carts before but the 20s styling on this one is right on the money (expect perhaps the CVT and the disk brake, but again they both somehow don't seem to subtract from the style much if any)

[@JBLewis]

By golly! he drove the tires right off of that thing! 🤣

[@joshvandruff1790]

The random velocity clutch is commonly known as a torque converter.

Hmm... I think it is a CVT, a Continuously Variable Transmission.
