You can really improve the belt life with the removal of the filter from the belt housing cooler intake. That filter is very restrictive. The heat and belt dust itself is more destructive than any dust that makes it in
I changed the gearing on my 150cc by dropping the tooth count on the drive sprocket. got it from hammerhead performance. that way i was able to use the stock chain. not much adjustment left but enough. just another option.
My 150cc GY6 won't go forward on the neutral and reverse I purchased aa new clutch,variator and belt. And it's still only goes in reverse not forward what is my issue
The easiest way it to REMOVE the clutch, squeeze it open with both hands, loop the belt between the sheaves, then reinstall the clutch and belt. Gives plenty of slack to get it over the drive boss on the variator.
Hey Greg, all the best for you & yours in '21. Gonna switch gears here but wanted to catch you after your most recent vids. Just watched (again) when you got that Kohler 25 and haven't seen any others that followed where you would have used it. I have one for a project I'm about to start and would very much appreciate If you'd take a moment and touch base. I have a few tech questions. Won't be dressing it out with "Ti" stacks however, I'd like to grab all the HP & torque I can . . . have a plan for 4X and don't have the budget for a new Predator or Duromax. Thanks in advance and always stay safe . . . JJFIII
Hey Red Beard, I hav an Ace Striker Buggy with a Carter motor. And aside from some minor maintenance I can’t find anything out about it? I got it from a guy for 700 bucks that his grandkids wrote it for a bit. I’ve had it for four years now and the other day at the bottom of the hill and just quit going with my son driving it the motor revs up from the gas pedal but it won’t drive. If it needs a belt or a clutch or a CVT I’m not sure what belt or clutch or CVT set up I need for it can you provide me with any help? I would love to bring it to you to work on but I live in new Berlin Wisconsin which is just outside of Milwaukee.
Hello need i help!!!!! I have a 2008 carbide 150cc when I put it in got to put it in forward gear it grinds really bad and has no reverse what would cause that
What size kart would you recommend someone(190lbs) wanting to get for riding through some trails through the woods(kinda rough, not well ridden), a big hilly yard and a bit of dead end road lol. Or Would I be better off with a cheap four wheeler?
Good afternoon friend I have an ATV with this engine and it is switching off when it is hot and only starts up again when it cools down. Geato for attention.
I have an old 150gy6 atv it runs perfect but was wondering what I could do more then I already have to make it faster and more reliable for off road use its a old viva quad (roketa), any idea without a big bore kit?
Incidentally, just watched the vid for wiring twin engines again in the event I may need to resuscitate this "parts" 25 I have to add to the mix (so much for an easy suspension build LOL) . . . JJFIII
I'm surprised he didn't replace that cooked cvt clutch it was visibly discolored from excessive heat more than likely from too little throttle when trying to start moving on a hill with the wrong gearing for that tire size... That entire cvt & clutch should be recalibrated to engage at a higher engine rpm and slow the cvt ramp rate via a heavier driven spring and lighter rollers in the drive pulley the clutch itself needs to be recalibrated with heavier return springs and heavier clutch shoes which will firm & harshen up the clutch engagement while slightly increasing the engagement rpm
Why did you just repeat what he said in the vid re hill starts and tire size? It would be a shameful waste to replace that perfectly serviceable clutch and nothing needs recalibration given they change in gearing. You could certainly learn a thing or two from the RBG master by watching his CVT calibration vid where he talks about the springs and weights.
@@SportbikerNZ I didn't repeat anyone I stated a fact about damage he ignored and didn't bother to correct he only stated the belt had been damaged and eventually destroyed by the improper gearing he however didn't fix the cvt tuning nor the overheated cvt parts thus leaving it ripe to fail again
@@dodgeme1986truck False. You parroted RBG's analyses in the vid "excessive heat more than likely from too little throttle when trying to start moving on a hill with the wrong gearing for that tire size... " see timestamp 1:37 and 1:57 why would you just parrot what he's already said as if it's your own analyses? Incorrect on your CVT analyses. The gearing change specifically addresses the problem without the completely unnecessary and wasteful changing of weights and springs.
@@SportbikerNZ no the cvt tuning is completely necessary even though the chain drive ratio was changed it still doesn't address the fact that the cvt clutch is fried and the tuning will address the secondary causes of the failure...He stated the reason the belt failed but not the cvt... I stated why the cvt failed as the cvt is cooked... The blue color of that clutch drum means the steel was overheated enough to loose it's tempering and will now wear very unevenly and fail to fully engage properly the cvt shift curve needs recalibrated for the new gearing and tire size, also the clutch to prevent overheating needs retuned to engage with more force (changing of the springs) and needs better friction materials (changing of the shoes)... I have built these engines to their structural limits and have retuned the cvts to their limits and based on what I've seen he is a novice at best with this style of cvt (and I'm being nice) for this cart he should start with a full set of yellow springs (stock are black or unpainted) then tune the drive (engine) pulley the rear clutch should get a set of yellow springs (stock are black or unpainted) as well as the rear cvt pulley main spring with a set of performance clutch drum shoes and a new clutch drum (due to having been overheated)
@@dodgeme1986truck I couldn't disagree more, and hope he doesn't take such bad advice. There is nothing wrong with the CVT. The CVT never "failed" other than clearly being hammered on without a belt, not what's it's designed for. The discoloration indicating the steel is now ruined is bunk. It'd take vastly more heat, repeatedly, to the point of glowing, to even start to permanently compromise the steel in this application. Neither the springs nor the shoes need replacing as evidenced by the suitable engagement clearly exhibited during test drive. After you repeated exactly what RBG said in your first comment, it seems more than evident you should be taking his advice, not vice versa.
Hello community I just need SUM HELP, I recently built a go kart predator 212 engine and it took me around a month to two months in between waiting for the parts and putting it together the upgrades that I made are governor removal,oil sensor removal, upgraded air filter, upgrade jet I check the oil fuel and the gas fuel and everything is perfect please help!!? I crank it and it shakes like it wants to do something
How do you like that 9.0 battery for the stubby impact. I’ve got two and so far they are the best knockoff batteries over tried. I can get 8.0 ah out of them on a dedicated battery capacity tester.
@@SportbikerNZ you responded to the wrong person... I stated the kevlar (aramid fiber) belts are the best currently available for the gy6 variant engines such as the qmb 139, gy6 125,150, 200,250, etc I've personally built a gy6 50 (qmb139) to the limit (+2.5mm stroke, 52mm bore, fully balanced, 1.25 inch exhaust, 1.5 inch long tube intake, custom fuel injection, custom spec cam, custom big valve head(don't remember the specs off the top of my head) fully ported and polished intake and exhaust with a controlled retexturing of the intake fully retuned cvt, and regeared the final drive in the final drive case for top speed...

Nice build red same thing happened to mine the belt was shredded half a mile push and i got it home happy new years to yall
Thank you,Lonny,for sacrificing you spine,and future children,to film that fun ride.
Do you ever use dry lube spray on the varistor ?
Hi from Alberta , love the fast forward stuff 😄 great videos as usual 👌
Greg you need to build an axle stand for the fab table. Work on those axles a bit higher and safe your back.
Yep. I use jack stands on my welding table for just that reason.
Great work guys it’s a certified ripper now
Nice job guys! Lonny does a pretty good job on those test druves!
Good work guys. Hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas and happy new year. Can not wait to see what yall put out this year.
Dude, that thing rips!!
Happy New Year from Hillsboro Texas
I have a similar kart except it's a "200". Have you done any mods/upgrades to these? Would the 39 tooth sprocket work with the stock axle?

I have the same one it just when I turn my key the Carter talon hops what would be my problem? The clutch is stuck on open??

Completely disagree. Nothing wrong with some sped up or time lapsed welding, which is what RBG does.
There's a hole bunch of flat spots on those rollers almost every one
Saw that too
It was on the side no on the actual surface. I seen that when I was editing b
Nope. Just the corners.

I'd say the cvt needs lighter rollers, not much maybe only a half gram down on all of them. Also the carb sounds like it needs a smaller jet in it
It's revving up perfectly and sounds just fine. No point fixing it if it aint broke. And the pro, RBG, clearly doesn't think it needs it.
What happened to you Channel used to be so good
It is good. I'm loving watching his stuff. You sound like such a downer.
