LA Go Kart Guy
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 31 มี.ค. 2022
The first-ever documented go kart was created in Los Angeles by Art Ingels in 1956. The first official organized race took place with several dozen home-built machines in 1957 in the parking lot of the famed Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. I have always wanted to have a go kart since I was a kid, and the interest in these small race cars lay dormant for several decades. But, with the changes brought about by COVID-19, I realize how short life can be and that the time to pursue our dreams is NOW.
There doesn't seem to be a TH-cam channel with anyone building go karts in Los Angeles, so, I'm hoping to fill that role. California is a special place to me and with it being the birth place of go karts, I'm hoping to help and inspire others here and everywhere in their quest for go kart racing fun!

1998 SeaDoo GTX Rip 55 MPH!!! October Halloween Ride 🎃

Went for an evening rip on the 1998 SeaDoo GTX. I bought it for $333, rebuilt the carburetors, replaced the fuel lines, bought a new battery, and it runs really well!!! I got lucky with this one.

It’s becoming more clear where my fascination with small engines came from as we look at this video of my dad pulling me through our neighborhood streets on a saucer in 1988. 😆 The engine was a 3 HP Briggs & Stratton. It was really powerful and fast, as small as it was.

any idea what size and length are those tie rods. I have a predator 212 on mines with a 265 cam and it gets scary at 40mph
Jeeps are junk and always have been
Combustion gas buddy. Jeep bad
I’m picking one up next week as a first time ski owner. Very excited for the challenge that comes with owning and maintaining it.
Didn't really see how you did anything really but thx😊
Trying to fix a old Red Talon with band brakes. Where the heck does the other side of brake band hook to besides the brake rod?
Does the go kart charges the battery?
Awesome Carter go kart. I love the look with the classics old school skinny slicks. I have a Carter myself that I’ve owned for years. My kart is the blue model 2336 2 seater with tecumseh 6hp Power Sport motor. It runs like a top but I’m looking to hop it up a bit. I was wondering what motor and carb set-up your running on yours. It looks like a predator motor with a Mikuni carb and key start? If you have the info, I would love to know the details of your karts drivetrain so I could possibly try something similar on my Carter go kart? Great build!
With the music and nostalgia, I feel like I just watched The Goonies. Great job and sick bike!
Thanks man!
Do you still need the key if you're using the pull start
🤘
also can i have a list of mods you did to your manco critter ll? thanks
All mods are listed in the various video descriptions, I believe.
Where will you be putting the scraps
The dumpster at the end of the video 😬
Great video! Just bent a prop on my wakesetter and going to attempt to change it myself, looks fairly easy. Do you happen to know the socket size needed for the nut?
compression leaks due to damaged crankshaft seals in the engine block......nd fix it fast because you'll cook the pistons
You have no idea what you're talking about
you just dont know how to set the boat
What do you think of the 2016 wave setup? We own the 2016, the 2024 was a dealer demo, so we didn’t have as much say. What do you recommend?
Beautiful ski. If you have the old grey fuel lines, make sure to change those out. Those are known to go bad and then clog the filters in the carb.
Awesome video. Just trashed a prop today on my 23LSV. 😢
Y’ouch!!! We’ve all done it. 😆
You definitely have a fuel issue
Are the needle bearings too large or the wrist pin? My father used to do hand fitting like this on Mercury outboard engines at races. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it destroyed the rod if the needles started to skid.
I figured out how to know if I did it right. If it blows up, then I did something wrong. 😆 Update: I tested out the engine and it ran AWESOME.
It’s my dad again 🎉😊
Heck yeah!!! You can ride these anytime you want. ❤
You have no information on what carb. this is for. Im working on a 99 seadoo challenger 1800 with 787cc engines. Also what are the parts you used to make the pressure device?
Harbor Freight pressure gauge. Very backyard. But these SeaDoo’s have been running AWESOME this summer. Carburetors are Mikuni BN46-42-6 (PTO) Mikuni BN46-42-5 (MAG) for a 1998 SeaDoo XP Limited running a 951cc rebuilt Rotax engine.
Hi, im rebuilding my 1999 GTI. Why did you decide to change these valves? was it just maintenance or was the ski doing something it wasn't supposed to
I didn’t change the valves, but I did clean them. I did change the fuel lines, however. The fuel lines were extremely dirty. I just needed to get the check valves connected to the new fuel lines. 👍
I was so little
I was so little and my name is Scarlett
@@trishadunnnelson8421you were little, but I just HAD to build a car just for you. ❤
Why are you so obsessed with go karting
I always wanted a go kart when I was a kid. I lived in Ohio until the 3rd grade and there was a go kart track in the field behind my backyard. My friend had a go kart with a 5 horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine. It was the coolest thing I’d ever seen. I have wanted one ever since.
He is my dad and takes me go karting
Indeed I do 🏎️💨
Heard others use the word smooth and not sure what they mean. My stock drivers are smooth. To me the Juggernaut is just a large gearing change. There's still gear reduction after the belt shift. Ends up around 1.5:1. They also say there's less belt wear. There better be less belt wear. The engine and drive train should love that big of a gearing change.
I would say you are correct on all counts. It is indeed “smooth.” It is one long gear change like you describe. It took a while to dial everything in correctly, but I don’t burn through belts at all. I’ve had one belt for a couple of years now.
Sweet! I got a manco critter 2 seater, solid axle with the 224. Governor and oil sensor deleted, straight pipe, 26 pound springs, aluminum flywheel, comet torque converter with green spring. It takes off very fast and with me 200 pounds it does 45 with my son 100 pounds it does over 50. Not bad for what it is.
Awesome dude!!! It’s astounding what these little engines are capable of. Send me a picture of it.
@@lagokartguy1176 How do I send a picture?
@@GeorgeWashingtonknowsmaybe post the pic somewhere like Facebook or Instagram and then send me the link. Would love to see it. 👍
Dude! You saved me today on a kart tire that wouldn’t debead… thank you! Helps a carpenter/contractor by trade lol
Glad I could help!
Title shows reviews amazon convertor. Has Juggernaut driver in video... with a crap load of affiliate links. #loweffortprofit
Yes, the Juggernaut and “Amazon converter” are one and the same. Except, I can return it to Amazon if things don’t work out-not the case for other powersports dealers. Yes, there are lots of links but you’d be surprised how many people ask me what equipment I used for this build.
nice color but the cybertruck graffiti should be better looking than that
How tall are you? I’m 6’5” and I’m trying to get an idea of how I’d fit in one of those, compared to how you look in it.
Do I look squished? 😁 I’m 5’11” and it’s a tight fit. I’ve seen the guys from Cars and Cameras in the Manco Dingo and they seem to fit. That could be an option.

Now thats an Ugly ass car/ truck
I was driving home around 2 am, I'm super tired so I wasn't really paying attention to any of the cars, I was going around a curve on a back road and I saw a truck that just looked weird, but when I looked in my rearview, I could see that it was a cyber truck. now that's not all impressive now that they're being released, but I live right in the middle of the worst cities in my state, the best cars you see around here are Honda civics and kias
Hondas and Kias rank extremely high on consumer reports, and the majority of millionaires drive Toyotas. 😬
@@lagokartguy1176 the poor man's coping mechanism
No dude his cars just un rendered
Hmmm, better get some more gas....almost out!😮
Yup! 😮 😊
Did you get the full length key? The one sent with mine is mebbe 3/4 inch long
I think I used the short key that came with mine. If you want a longer key, head over to your local Ace hardware store and they’ll have a longer length.
I witnessed a similar situation where one squirrel got ran over and it started to shiver out blood. Really sad.
Thank you for finally moving it off the road.
Maybe in a few more years these will be $50. Especially considering they can build an entire engine for $100.
Yeah, it’s definitely not a logical purchase, but I’ve saved thousands of dollars in car repairs because I learned so much building go karts. I fix all of my cars myself, because building karts helped me understand engines. 👍👍👍
@@lagokartguy1176 Very nice! Learned a lot myself from wrenching on GX200 clones. I’ve actually got some ideas for “detuning” Juggernaut style drivers for use in governed engines.
The key that came with it was it too short??
I think it worked fine. It’s still on there, going strong!
It was indeed the carburetor filter. I sprayed it out with carburetor parts cleaner and now this SeaDoo does 50 MPH!!!
Sounds like the Carburetor high speed jet is clogged. also Check fuel water separator fiiters for any contamination
Thanks! I’ll check it out. I’m guessing it’s the little filter that clogged in the carburetor. I’ll also check the places you mentioned.
Poor squirrel
Which fly wheel are you using for that electric start?
I’m guessing he’s using a kohler or Tillotson flywheel.
ARC 6679 from ARC Racing. 👍
id get the ec 26mm wildcat carb...that thing willll rip.
Heck yeah man! I used a Mikuni VM-20 and it goes 47mph.
That is such a kind gesture. You may not have known it, but that squirrel was definitely grateful for what you did.
Trying to swap a live axle on my critter 2. Did you go with 40 or 44” axle?
I think it was a 44”. It has snap ring ends and is not typical from what I’ve watched with Red Beard’s Garage or Cars and Cameras, but it’s been on there for around 2 years and has held up with no issues. I got it from BMIKarts.com.
Driving home today, turning onto my streetI saw a squirrel up ahead on top of something in the road; figure if it must be a walnut smashed in the road he was trying to get at… no … as I got closer, it was its mate flattened to the road… it was so heartfelt to see this… I just hope the living squirrel does not meet its same fate as it’s partner.. Happens so quick when animals dart out onto the road, especially when animals play tag with each other… no different than kids playing, they get distracted not seeing the dangers of what’s driving on the road
