Reviving our 900cc Ducati Go Kart, the DUCARTI
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 พ.ค. 2021
- We built a 100 mph go kart a few years ago with a 1996 Ducati 900 Monster Super Sport engine. This 900cc go kart propelled Ike to 102 mph in less than a quarter mile at the drag strip. We put the Ducarti up against our 750cc cross kart at an ATV park and fried the clutch because we didn't have a clutch cover. Since then, the Ducati go kart has sat in a spidery shed for nearly two years. Today, it's time to bring it back with a major service (timing belts, head removal to fix an oil leak, and clutch job, and valve adjustment) so we can return it to our running fleet!
Thanks for Watching!

OK- as a life-long collector, restorer and lover of all things Ducati:
Theres no such thing as a "900 Monster Super Sport", the engine either came from a Monster or and SS, but not both-
The cam tensioner and idler bolts are SUPPOSED to be put in with thread lock, sometimes the RED and not the blue, so if you would've heated the fins of the jug where the bolt was, it would've come right out.
Also, the valve adjustment being checked is WAY more important, than belt change- You wont be able to adjust the valves with what you have there,(unless you old boss has all the special tools?) but you can check the clearance for both Opening and closing on both valves, both heads - Nothing will wreck a Ducati Desmo head worse than letting the valves go out of spec- You SHOULD be able to remove both heads and drop them at a local Ducati shop (hopefully small, private shop, NOT the Dealership) and get all the valves adjusted for $250-400, depending on the shop? it only needs to be done on that engine prob ONCE for the whole time you use it considering how little you actually run it -
Also, the wide cam belt bearing has to be bought from a bearing supplier (or from Ducati) which is pricey, but the smaller bearing thats double stacked is avail at ANY autoparts store for $4-6 ea as they use the same bearing that most 4cyl Ford Ranger and Mustangs use for a Pilot bearing, I think Ducati gets over $18 ea for those little ones.......
I don't know why he didn't heat the fins on the jug to begin with any ways instead of just trying to use a solvent newb move
@@shroomzftw
Heat n beat never fails. Fix it with fire!!
As far as I’m aware doing Desmo valves isn’t too bad just twice the steps really
His old boss most likely has the tools, as it is an import specialty shop. And Isaac is a 20 yr mechanic so not a newb, he did mention heating it up but chose not to for whatever reason.
Ha I was about to post the same info, good thing I read the comments first.
Nearly a million subs . Smashing it guys ! Been here since real early glad to see you hit the million soon!
All we need is 62,000,000 more and we can have more than Mr.beast!
969k is a pretty good number though😆
@@kdaviper yeah fr 😂
Bro same
Same yo
Ah yes. The coolest death machine i have seen yet.
This and the dragster are my favorite so far
I like the monster truck they did
440 Murray 3203 yerf dog
I hope they build a dragster frame for it. Rear engine too
Of all your projects, this is the only one that would scare me.
me too
once they finish the bombadier that will be another one on the "no thanks" list
The lawnmower wasn't my favorite. It almost killed Isaac.
This is the coolest one yet.
Shit kart will be absolutely nuts
“your gonna look this way i’m gonna look that way”
next clip he’s moving the camera away from where he’s supposed to be looking lol
Its very important to keep it straight at the start and i believe they than cut to the part when the drill bit was in far enough to not need an extra pair of eyes
Second comment after watching. If you ever snap a bolt off in an aluminum part and the snap is even with the surface. Find a Nut and weld the inside to the bolt face. While it's still hot. Turn it out!
Has ALWAYS worked for me!
A little heat from a map gas torch and it probably would have came right out.
Ducarti is BACK! Gotta find a venue to put this up against our new 2 stroke build!
hell yes
A banked oval would be an awesome venue for these karts. Y’all should try to get in touch with Cleetus. He loves Karts and anything sketchy for that matter 😂
Should have tried heating it up really hot then pouring LOTS & LOTS OF water on it..
It's called quenching
I am bulding a gocart with a bmw 1000 engine
Any help on aligning chains myne is perfectly straight and sprockets and chain are #40 but it's as though the chain wants to skip and pop off idk what the issue is
At first I thought they were in a 1980’s Russian Garage, then I saw the NAPA logo... whew!!
Love it😍 Today i found all the "ducarti" Videos and today they dropped a new one😍
Greeting from Austria
theres only one thing you can do with a beast that can't be tamed, drag strip!!!!
Guy's!! That kart is so inspiring that it really had me glued to the screen.. I'm in NEW ZEALAND 👍 and I dayly watch cars and cameras as well as it'll be fine...🙄 I honestly wish to express my sincere feelings of this connection I feel with you both.... . I realize this sounds strange and unkooth.... Cheezy or may well make me seem like a prime weardo 🤔.. but seeing Isaac place his hand on his heart made me realize how much he loves doing this ... And your both just great people whom I feel really close to ... Your changing lives .. inspiring , teaching and being good people... I really love you guys.... I know I'm not the only one .... 😋
He opened that bay door with a casual ease of a guy that’s opened it about a billion times😄👍🏻
The most impressive sound I've ever hear coming out of an engine, Ducarti.. what..a...beast!!!! Good that it is back!
Love the Issac happy face. I'd like to see a donut competition where you see who can do roundyrounds until someone gets sick, or you run out of gopowersports tires.
This is your coolest build man. The old oil cooled Ducati motor lends itself perfectly to a psyco Kart.
I love your guy’s friendship. Both such awesome and level headed dudes. It’s rare to find such a friend these days.
Thank you for bringing back the Ducarti its my favorite build next to cross kart... please do more on this kart please cheers and thankyou from Australia.
LOVE that thing! absolutely my top favorite C&C project. just put slicks back on it, it looked so good with them
always keep the timing belts pretty loose on the ducatis, to the point where you think they're too lose. The cylinder and head expand a lot unter heat, and if the belts are too tight, you risk ripping them quite easily.
A 5mm allen should slide between belt and tensioner effortlessly.
this is what hooked me on you guys!! I LOVE DUCARTI!!!!!!!!!
I love all of your content and have been digging through the archives at carsandcameras. I look forward to your Bombardier project in future episodes.
Yeah! That is my all time favorite go kart engine y’all have ever done!
Also it’s awesome to see Ike’s old work! I remember y’all making the drag rail there
Proper pedals and some racing slicks. This has always been one of my favorites.
I've been a mechanic for 35 years a good quality 3/8 impact is definitely the way to go in this situation.
I'm glad she is getting some love. Also when you opened that shed , it kinda made me tear up a little lol. So many memories for you guys in there. Cheers
Ok didn't actually tear up but you know what I mean. My gf was making fun of me.
when the clutch sounds like a stall converter i think its toast
Well, the clutch IS the converter on a manual after all.
I forgot about this build!!! My kids have been begging me for one like this!
Another great video guys. This Old Man always looking for the next one. You two are awesome in what you dream up. 🛵😎💝💝
Smart letting someone familiar with Ducati's do the valves. Those belts have to be tensioned to a certain harmonic frequency so it's a very tricky thing.
You have to do more projects similar to this go kart this made me start watching your channel from the beginning I’ve missed this beast and I’m so happy to see it’s back on the channel this brings a smile to my face :)
Love this cart, I love the engine as well. Big Italian bike fan. Great video as always!!
I think y’all should put the biggest and fastest projects and bring them to the race track,with some slicks.And do a race like Formula 1 or moto gp.I absolutely love y’all’s videos.
the trooper in the back of your old shop looks wicked clean and awesome, i havnt seen one sjnce i owned one , makes me miss it
Timing belt replacement tip: Mark the timing belt at the pulley marks. Count the teeth between the marks. Count the same number of teeth on the new belt and mark it. This will ensure that you do not get a tooth off when installing the new belt. Sometimes it is hard to get the belt tight enough to get the right tooth on the sprocket, but since you have marked your new belt you can rotate one of the sprockets to help get your belt on.
So awesome to see this one again!!! This is one of my favorites!
Miss that go kart so happy to see it back out again
This is the best friendship ever
Y'all have gave me tons of inspiration! Planning on starting a build series myself! Got a Honda superhawk 996 I want to make a cross cart with y'all's channel rocks
It's great to see you're resurrecting this build.
You asked for suggestions as to what to do with this cart. Is there a class for go karts and a speed record you can try for at Bonneville. That would be very cool to see
These are excellent creations that are very genius, something very smart new, my friend, I'm learning from you
That's one of coolest things you guys have built. Nice to see it run again.
Glad to see the Ducati being revived Awesome machine 🔥👍✌️
All ways loved to see this cart coming to North Carolina from Indiana soon
Nice work on taping that bolt!
Working on that million! Awesome job guys! You 2 are killing it! Made my Wednesday! Nice to see the revival of the Ducarti i know spelled wrong but you know what I mean!
Been watching you guys for a few months....actually just bought my first project....a mini moto 80 and decided on a 212 swap...will see how it goes....thanks for getting me into another interesting hobby....
When the "DUCARTI" Turn on its feels like a fire will come out from my speaker😂
Love the vids love the channel and I love the Ducarti and I hope you keep making amazing vids love the channel ❤️❤️😍
I love that Killer Machine guys... i like to have a Kart but sadly can't afford it... anyway just watching you guys feel like I'm on board. Watching Here from Manila Phillippines.
That was in my book the coolest motor swap in a go-kart, would love to see it in the dust bowl 500
Good teamwork drilling that bolt out guys..
I feel ya Isaac. Spent 14 years doing Army stuff and feel the feels when i can help someone still in. Sure its close to the same with you coming to your old workplace.
Awesome go kart guys 👍🏻👍🏻
The 200cc go kart, this and the dragster is my favorite.
Nice builds yall!!!
I like how you guys brought all the old memories oh where you worked , how you met and how all this began!
Very cool to hear and I'm glad y'all are doing good! It was touching.. yeah call me a wuss lol
Been here for 4 years and the content is still banger. Keep up the good job guys
Bro you guys don’t get enough credit you guys are the best doing it and always give a demonstration video 🔥💯 love you guys keep them coming , me the son and wife enjoy watching , we also ride mini bikes every weekend 😎
This thing is stupidly over powered and I love it.🏁🏎 😀
GRANDE... un kart con un motore Ducati.
Ciao ragazzi, un saluto da Bologna Italia.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇮🇹🖐️
I've literally been waiting for soooo long for this video ! Love the ducati kart series
I've been waiting years for you guys to make another video on this!
Head to head with the 670 snowmobile go kart... 85hp vs 125hp....... EPIC!!!!!
keep the technical tips and info coming.
My favorite of your builds
What to do with kart : take the motor an build a cross kart V2 with quad wheels instead of go kart wheels for better ground clearance...
The frame to be used as a test mule for engine swaps an CCGP guest kart to use for setting a time on the leaderboard
I smell a race coming on between the this one and the cozy coop let's make it happen.
Yes! I missed this one! keep it up guys!
I agree exactly about the sheered threads Bro. It will break before twisting out if thats the case. Good luck...still watching hehe
Dont let fear stop you from fixin a Duck. Although, I admit hiring out the valve work too. Just in case.
After setting valves...
EXPECT 33% MORE POWER! INformative ep.
I'm surprised that with all the stuff you guys have built you have not built some sort of project mover or hauler - watching John push that with it sitting so low made my back hurt - great video and I'm excited to see yall hit one million soon
That's awesome theres some history there at that old shop 😄
No way its been 2 years since I watched you guys build that beast time flys when your having a good time
Who don't like Cars And Cameras? Ike and John are Legends.....
FREEDOM FACTORY! Hell yeah brother!.
Tip for drilling a level hole, hang a spanner/wrench/flat steel with a hole in it, off the drill bit. If it stays in the centre while drilling the drill bit is level. Ike done a good job, I hate drilling out snapped bolts.
That's the best start of a video I've ever seen lol. A story is told in 25 seconds
drilling out broken hardware is the worst, well, the moment it breaks is usually the worst :D Great video as always!
Very cool! And to answer what to do with the dekarti... rip that thing!
Seeing Ike's face with the "time" pun 🤣🤣 Reason #826 why I subscribed!!
I'm still waiting for the Murray Kilowatt to come back so it can run the new C&C GP!
I went and found a Kilowatt frame after seeing all your videos about it and i'm so happy with what I have now!
Valve adjustment on a 1986/1987 Honda atc200x are the nicest, easiest ones I've ever messed with. I'm sure there are others with the same style.
Now this Ducati motor would probably fit in your drag rail!
Ya'll are crazy but I love it ya'll should build a tow truck next!!!
Been watching you guys since I was 14, can’t believe how this Channel has grown. Great job and great content guys
happy 15th birthday
@@PossumKing I’m 21 lmao
This is gonna be exciting
I think you guys should put that engine in the cross kart. That would be cool!!!
Whoa. Holy hell
I've been AWOL for. Little while. Saw the notification and To My SUPRISE you Guys are Damn Near at 1million subs.
Congratulations!
You guys should check out an induction heater for stuck bolts. Great video as always!
Its crazy how this channel has grown since i subscribed to it when it had 250k subs its crazy
It's alive. I think you should use it as a "Go Cart" only - asphalt track, no off-road. Clean it up (shiny) and enjoy.
Hi y’all from west Alabama love y’all show
2:08 i was like "a lada in the us?!"
Then ooh almost 😅
Take the studs out, put lapping compound on the cylinder liner, and spin the head around until flat. That’s how we did the vintage Husqvarna engines.
So glad you are able to make a living on TH-cam. Way to go. Great content.
That engine needs to go in the dragster. That would be fun!
sounds wicked!!
Y'all make my day man
Best sounding cart in the stable. Flat track it!!!
I like the Isuzu Trooper back there . I had one for four years and it went through much more than it should have . LOL I even sank it once . Good vehicle . At least mine was . LOL Fire in the hole Boys !!! Get that thing goin again !
