When he pulled the back wheels off the purple anodized aluminum hubs were still nice and bright. Anodized aluminum parts fade. Especially purple and red anodizing. The fiberglass parts aren't old, dried and splintered. The clear plastic material they use to make the fuel tanks usually gets a dirty yellow brittle tint to it it after about 10 years. The engine looks to be an air cooled IAME motor that's still in use today. That and I've never seen a road racing cart ever in the history of everything with mud all over it. Ever. Those karts are 2" off the ground and have slick tires. You can't get a road race kart to go in a grass field. Much less mud. I own an engine shop that specializes in two stroke race karts and motocross engines. I also hot rod Stihl and Husqvarna chainsaws for people in the logging industry. It's an older cart that's been sitting up for a while and someone rubbed mud all over it to make this video. That's one thing I know for 100% certain. They rubbed mud all over it. And if you do want a vintage 2 stroke engine restored. Get in touch with Absolute Engine Solutions in beautiful Lake Lanier Ga and I'll get ya hooked right up.

Very nice. It would be very interesting to see, how the preparation of the objects takes place for these kind of videos. Which solution (probably something with mud and salt) is used to prepare the objects, so that they look as if they need restoration so desperately? How long does it take, until the solution does it's job? Oh, and one suggestion: also apply the solution to the threads. It always destroys the overall impression, when a nut is removed and a new and shiny thread becomes visible.

This isn't something that anyone with any sense would let get into the condition shown. Someone hosed this thing down with muddy salt water then let it sit outside and rot for months just to make this video, and to add insult to injury they installed 1/4 the horsepower by bolting on a junk lawnmower 4 stroke. Just sad.

Yall when the 4 stroke went on it went down hill-- I can't see why anyone would run a 4-stroke back when I was racing (over 45 years ago) at the time a modified 4-stroke Briggs would cost about $1500 and a Yamaha KT 100S 100cc piston port was about $600 blue printed on the Yamaha you ran gas Briggs methanol on the Yamaha you adjust flex and differing gearing and that was it the Briggs you had cams, porting, valves, carburetor, clutch and the list goes on and it was no faster than the Yamaha.

[@AJRestoration]

That is infact a 12hp 390cc 4stroke engine. When set up right that engine will tun circles around the old motor. BUT I agree, he should have saved the old motor instead of replacing it with a modern motor.

After clean up you can see wear on areas that would never been worn if others are not also worn. The floor which is the most punished area is fine.

Replacing the original 100cc engine with a gx390 is absolute sacrilege! I was enjoying it up until then. You can pick up period engines for about £200-£300 (the price of a gx390)

[@mavericklane6206]

You have way more patience than me. When I do a racing kart restore, I have the frame hot tanked at NAPA Auto machine shop, $125. You are very thorough and more patience than most people. Great job and restore; my hat is off to you.

[@dougchow]

me encanto el video, pero como dijeron comentarios abajo.. hubiera sido genial ver la restauracion de ese motor de 2 tiempos tambien

[@dokataarnold4520]

Came out looking great don't get me wrong. But I definitely would have stuck with that original 2-stroke motor.

[@aib0160]

You can restore the plastic bodywork quiet well using linseed oil and white spirit. There's a few videos on KZbin showing how to do this and that and new decals is probably the easiest way as they'll get knocked about pretty quickly. I'd suspect she'll need new bearings all round too.

Гоночный карт отъездил своё время(1998-2004) и оказался на долгое время в какой-то ангаре. В дальнейшем его нашли и переработали в прокатный с вариаторной муфтой. Очень сильное отличие до и после. Хорошая рама была для гонщиков 2000х годов в этой компановке, но дороговато для спортсменов без спонсора.

[@deevrudolf788]

Всё хорошо, но когда он в него воткнул этот "электрогенератор" то дальше смотреть стало не интересно. Лайк за проделанную работу👍

[@jakiefrazier4271]

That looks alot better and this taught me alot more

[@MCJ91]

Lil tip: Remove that sprocket off of the GX390's shaft, and put a centrifugal clutch there. The way the clutch works, is that when you start the engine, the kart won't move on its own, then, when you increase the RPM, the clutch kicks in and it starts to move. I've put them on all my mini motors like that, they are cheap and easy, and if you really want to put a dime in, you can get the gopowersports Juggernaut torque converter, i put it on my minibike and it works great!

Proč se tam nedal ten origo motor

[@orbitboi63]

Love that Makita screw driver. Like to get one.

[@unmoterodiferente]

Que gran trabajo!!😍😍

[@roseknows702]

that dirt looks a little too perfect

[@buildingsalvage]

Looks like they just dunked a perfectly good kart in a puddle for a few days and the. did some shitty rebuild with a roto engine lol. Light surface rust and anodizing is still fine lmaoo.

[@michaelzelft8668]

Después de varias carreras, me sorprende que siga en una sola pieza el Go-Kart de Mario. 😅

[@2nd_gear_drifting]

Rusty plastic, rusty tyres ‘Truly masterclass’

[@shize9ine]

Needs a 2 stroke rotax! great job though!

[@johnnyturbo8460]

I really enjoy doing projects like this too. So satisfying to bring something back to life

[@ShineTruruthstar]

Love this go cart. I'll name it the purple people eater.🤗🤗

[@dwightvoeks9970]

It's amazing how satisfying removing rust with a wire wheel can... except when it isn't

[@kobusbezuidenhoudt3160]

this is totally believable. i also keep on finding go carts in the river that needs to be restored

[@mindyourown472]

I used to race Karts in the late 90s / early 2000s, and this took me back to those days. I raced Rotax Max 125cc. Not sure why you put a Honda engine on the kart at the end, but it was cool to see something from my era being restored - nice work :)

[@shidfard]

Because they can't fix engines LOL

[@leonjohnsonjr3331]

Because they probably didnt have the equipment to start it

[@leonjohnsonjr3331]

No clutch

[@michaeldelarm1630]

hell of a restoration...

[@erimator17]

The Mario Kart characters would be so proud

[@gglen2141]

1:40 RIGHT THERE. Purple anodized aluminium in MINT condition. Otherwise this is a cathartic, soul soothing restoration video about restoring nice condition cart covered in a lot of dust.

[@myrestorations]

Great result bro 👏👏👏

[@Carlos-bi4ew]

Jolie restauration au top 👍👍👍👍👍

[@kinghjimm8024]

Buying stuff off craigslist to spray with salt and a vinegar and water to leave out back in the weather for a year pays off lol. Also shaking the parts a little extra when pulling them off does too haha

[@thermalreboot]

Do you have a magic formula you use to create the mud that you spray over everything to make it look more neglected than it is?

[@plumbingfix8052]

agree

[@tomwareham7944]

No pitting on any of the so calledrusty parts , no oxidation on any of the aluminium parts no rust seized nut and bolts and the hardest part to believe , who would leave thousands of dollars worth of speed equipment on even an inoperable throw away ? Don't buy it I bet it took longer to patina it than it did to clean it , you still got me to watch though so you reached your goal .

[@kasuraga]

you can really tell on the exhaust system they spray patina'd it with stuff to rust it. The way all the dirt looks so evenly distributed looks weird too

[@ianbaxter8199]

Those rear hubs are new

[@bespokefencing]

That Kart has only had a couple of buckets of dirty water chucked over it! You can see the water tracks on all the vertical surfaces. I'd expect a neglected Kart to have a rusty axle and brake disc, oxidised alloy parts and a bit of dust on the horizontal areas. Satisfyingly result though! 👍

[@NeverlandSystemAngel]

That purple on those sprockets is amazing... LOVE the work. Great restoration!

[@Collins_racing]

NO! When you rebuild a kart always replace the bearings, brake pads, fuel line, hydraulic line, accelerator cable, all nyloc nuts, front rim bearings, change tyres (depending). NO, NO, NO. You should never put a four stroke Honda engine onto a two stroke racing go kart. 2 stroke kart engines can have an electric starter. also you can't race that thing at an offical race meet.

[@bestshittyphotographer]

Why not?? Maybe not the most practical but any engine will make it go right?

[@Collins_racing]

@@bestshittyphotographer You could but you would likely have no one to race and you would be in your own class. Also the Yammah 2 stroke engines are much faster then the Honda 4 stroke.

[@tylerseabook9423]

@@Collins_racing you don’t always replace bearing,hydraulic lines,throttle cable, if that shits in working order then save your money fml🤦‍♂️

[@Collins_racing]

@@tylerseabook9423 yes, makes sense but it is always a good idea to have spares.

[@tylerseabook9423]

@@Collins_racing you just stated to always change those things on a rebuild 🤦‍♂️ if it ain’t broke don’t fix it
