    the bleeder screw needs to be on top when mounted, it needs to be the high point so the air can come out!

    Nice little kart, I like it. Has a lot of character.

    If I was your dad, I could easily forgive the brake fluid on the drive way, but I would kick your ass all around the house for tearing up my lawn...........LOL

    • @bignickthegreat

      Hahaha i have had a fair bit of extra yard work to do this summer, wonder why?

    • @hydrofuelincanada

      Yea, but the lawn fixes itself and the driveway doesn't. I wouldn't worry about the lawn. Then again, I wouldn't worry about the driveway either.

    • @hydrofuelincanada
      @hydrofuelincanada 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Greg Green Brake fluid is water soluble, no harm to the driveway....
      Ya maybe no one should worry about anything, Just let kids do whatever they please.....After all it is easier that way right ?

    • @slrs3908

      ***** I take personal responsibility very seriously. I just choose to worry about things that are important. The grass grow by itself and the rain cleans the driveway. There are way too many more important things to worry about to be concerned over those things that aren't.

    Can't wait to see how the shifter turns out I didn't expect it to go that fast with a lawnmower transmission

    • @bignickthegreat
      @bignickthegreat  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      hahaha, it's all about gearing my friend- and hopefully soon ill get to the shifter

    Just gotta say, golf cart tires look perfect on adult go carts. Cool!

    I have a corded drill just like that one on the seat! Early 80s vintage? Has a little wheel for speed. Still use it now and again!

    you really need to build a shifter and some linkage for your transmission...

  • @stefvdiepen
    @stefvdiepen 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well I'm not the first one to say but also really lookin forward to the shifterstick ;p the clutch is still a little rough in first gear, maby you can try to lubricate the belt a little so it can slip a little longer and it won't be so rough :)

    • @bignickthegreat
      @bignickthegreat  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      lol yeah that stupid clutch went from one extreme to the other! and stay tuned for the shifter!

    • @bignickthegreat
      @bignickthegreat  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      everyone seems anxious to see the shifter haha

    • @algu11
      @algu11 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      ya lol looks like itll have to be some sort of a rocker arm

  • @hibyeyummy9915

    My only question is my brakes are too tight after I replaced the caliper and padsi don't know how to fix it

  • @Dannimuls
    @Dannimuls 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    in the video i thought the brakes would be a pedal and nice work bro loving it

    • @bignickthegreat
      @bignickthegreat  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      i wanted to make a pedal, just wasnt enough room to make it practical, and thanks!

    • @Dannimuls
      @Dannimuls 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @bignickthegreat
      @bignickthegreat  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      haha i appreciate that, but be careful what you wish for- building this was a friggin handful lol

  • @dc5000123
    @dc5000123 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice job !!! My mini bike shifter & kick starter came from a motorcycle salvage yard.

    • @bignickthegreat
      @bignickthegreat  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      There ya go! ebay doesn't have as good deals as what the salvage yards do

    • @dc5000123
      @dc5000123 11 ปีที่แล้ว

      *****
      Well, with those weird shaft spline sizes, you could easily buy alot of wrong sized shifters. I decided to take the shafts to the yard and fit them up myself :)

    • @bignickthegreat
      @bignickthegreat  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      haha that too ^^

  • @eangdaniec8515
    @eangdaniec8515 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Alright, if I will not weld the brake caliper onto the kart, then I need to shape a piece of steel and bolt it as a piece connecting the kart and caliper, right? I have a 64 bug sprint and it has no trace of any brake weld on the rear side.

  • @MrMonkeykiller1996
    @MrMonkeykiller1996 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    And the right side of the transmission that lever was the brake for the lawnmower if you take it off it might not jerk as much

    • @bignickthegreat
      @bignickthegreat  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      its just because the belt is new and the pulleys are also relatively new, they havent glazed over much at all. so that means not much slip haha. that clutch went from one extreme to the other lol.

    • @bignickthegreat
      @bignickthegreat  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      and i am also going to do a little transmission prep just like i prepped the engine. that brake thing is going to come off as well as the reverse mechanism inside the trans. from what i understand the reversing chain does not last long when over-sped like it will be here so

  • @lorenzogasperotti541
    @lorenzogasperotti541 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is there any way to make a pedal break with this?

  • @troyreynolds4520

  • @HarveySpooner
    @HarveySpooner 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    bignickthegreat, Looks good, I'm looking forward to seeing what U do with the shifter linkage as I have all the parts to build one, just been wondering how well it would actually shift. Thanks for posting!

    • @bignickthegreat
      @bignickthegreat  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! I have a couple harebrained ideas up my sleeve so we will see

    • @HarveySpooner

      bignickthegreat, I love harebrained ideas! Looking forward!

  • @Kelonh
    @Kelonh 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey if you don't mine answering where are you from? Also she is looking amazing! Great amount of power! Also for a shifter are you going to have a cable going to it? Or maybe a linkage with a bar that sticks out between your legs so when you pull it you shift up? Like a L shape know what u mean?

    • @bignickthegreat
      @bignickthegreat  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      i live in pennsylvania- pittsburgh area. thanks man!!

  • @petemartus6712
    @petemartus6712 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good job I know you get alot of torque with that transmission,but if you put on a torque converter with that engine you would plenty of torque,and speed.im talkin 45or50 mph!.it would haul ass!

  • @Joeyroberts629
    @Joeyroberts629 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    What do you plan on doing with the kart after it's all built

    • @bignickthegreat
      @bignickthegreat  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      paint it, drive it for a while, then probably sell it. it's cool to have, but i get way more thrill from building than driving. this kart takes up a lot of space, and whatever $ i get from it will go into whatever project is next!!

  • @preston121068
    @preston121068 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Hate to say, but you could have bought a complete mechanical brake system for your kart for like $45.00...

    • @bignickthegreat
      @bignickthegreat  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      mechanical vs hydraulic..... im sorry but in my book mechanical brakes just don't compare to hydraulic! definitely worth 15 extra dollars!!

    • @slrs3908
      @slrs3908 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      *****
      I've never used the mechanical brakes, but people say they work pretty good. In some cases they might be easier to install. That being said, last time i built a go cart I bought hydraulic.

      combination of ebay, local parts yards, and whatever the neighbors were throwing away hahaha

    Honestly, that is the most horrendous looking set up I think I've ever seen 😂 But hey you did it yourself and it works right so good job on you 👍🏻 Running one brake line will work and look much much better but you got the idea.

  • @jaredj631
