Homemade Racing Go Kart (Shifter Kart Frame) Build

Build Break Repeat

1,150,875 views

Here's our built from scratch go kart with homemade shifter kart frame with some home depot pipe and a harbor freight welder. We put a lot of time into this project and took a lot of pictures so we figured it would be cool to put it into a video. Kart has a predator 212cc motor with a comet torque converter and 11x6.00-6 Maxxis Tires on it. Top speed is around 45.

Great home build. You're lucky your dad helped you with it, seems like you guys bond well together unlike me and my old man. We've never done anything like this together. Can't wait till my kids are old enough to do stuff like this.

haha sweet, i love the part where you ran into the garage. if the video gets 600,000 views, it will have paid for the damage lmao

Very “Sweet” Go Cart and very well looking build. Now put a Mikuni V22 and put a 40 main jet you can always adjust the emulsion needle valve if it’s running rich put the clip at third from bottom and if it’s lean use the very last notch on the needle valve and you should notice a nice fast response on it. Nice job!!!

Good job guys... Looks great! Especially for your first build. I'm thinking about building one for my son.

Using a 550cc.4 carb/stroke engine From a 75 Kawasaki CB550. On a small dune buggy. Moving the hand to foot throttle. Left bar tube & clutch to a pivot shifter by the seat. Dual 2 in 1 open exhaust resonators. It was scary fast & so powerful, it bent the stock axle shaft!

You guys may not read this, but I’m making my own go kart, and you guys are such a huge inspiration, and you really show me that this can be possible and fun to do, so thank you very much

@waderedsox 9 years ago

nice work guys, i know from experience how annoying those harbor freight welders can be, getting the feeds right and trying not to burn through, you did a really good job
