I had to use a tire pump needle with a piece of plexiglass and a rubber tire inner tube . Drilled a small hole through the glass and rubber, inserted needle and hooked up tire pump and forced air into the top of the reservoir in order to get the master cylinder to allow brake fluid to force through the small hole in it. Worked great.
You need to invest in a hand pump vacuum bleeder. I bought one 5 yrs ago and it's so nice. I can bleed them with just me in the garage. So much faster as well.
Sure glad I found your channel. I'm working on a ATV just as yours. So I can see that I need to pull one of those studs out and do the drivers side first. I was checking the pistons to see just what is going on. They seem pretty clean. I did see lots of water going out on the old lines. So that is what I will do and I will let you know. Can't wait for the third person to hold the camera.
Are cart different on brake bleeding than cars? I've always bled the furthest (right rear) from the master cyl;inder. first and worked my way back to left front.
Bill Co-9 hate to be negative but safety over rules ! Full stroke on old master will tear seals just to start, don't follow this if you want to hold brakes efficiently , wrong in so many ways
Sir i cant speak for the bleeding process on a cart but with i most definetely wouldve have replaced that master cylinder i mean the guy did say he saw flakes in that brown fluid so theres a decent chance that the seals in the master cylinder are damaged or cut and the brakes will fail again
On this master cylinder it has a front zone piston and rear zone piston which work independently of each other. However they’re attached to a single bracket, which applies them in unison. So I suppose it wouldn’t matter. But I get what you’re saying. On this one, the front zone you’d do the passenger side first and the driver side second. If I’m wrong I suppose someone will correct me but I thought I’d try. lol
DAZON RAIDER!! One of my favorite GY6 buggies. Those carbs do NOT have a choke, but instead have an electronic device for FUEL ENRICHMENT for cold starting. Choke cuts off air to make rich, that puts more fuel in to make rich. Everything on those is very reliable. Very serviceable. Very "TUNABLE"!! Bump the main up to a 125, with a foam air filter. Idle/Pilot Jet could be increased to a 38(?)... but not always necessary. CDI, COIL, PLUG, and you'll go from 8 hp to 11 hp. HUGE Increase. Then tune the CVT with 12 gram "sliders" in the front pulley and a YELLOW 1500 RPM BIG Rear Pulley Spring. Put a performance exhaust on it and it'll do hole-shots!
here is a trick to make your brake fluid last longer after opening. put some saran wrap over the opening and them put the lid on it helps to seal out air from getting
Could you do a video on how to change the rear brake pads on these type of carts? Mine are fried and i'm not sure exactly how to access them. I can get the caliper loose, but its attached still. Not sure what else to take off.
Trying to bleed rear brakes on a Fox Carbide 150cc. Front will work. Back wont pressurize. Any suggestions.? New caliper, New Master cylinder. Ordered new line, hasn't arrived yet. Tried reverse bleed. At a loss
Hi, quick question if by chance, you reply to this text. I have a Danzon go cart, I know nothing about them. I've heard that they have a copy of a common honda engine. Would you know the name of these engines?
Does anyone know where to get the rear case anchor/chain tensioners for these GY6 engines? I can't find them anywhere. It's that U-brace in the back with the bolt welded to it.
So on my buggy project i`m having problems getting a good brake pedal. Its stiff and theres next to no braking at all. Heres my parts: brake calipers from an arctic cat atv, hard lines from master cylinder to edge of frame then from frame braided lines for movement. I bench bled the master then did the pump and bleed caliper routine and did this many many times but the master plunger will move only 1/4 of an inch and theres no braking at all. I could still have major air in the lines I am assuming? i`m also using a master cylinder off a 70`s chevy nova...my other concern is the master being too much of volume of fluid mover and blowing out the caliper seals.
What's going on Sir watch all your content 💯 I have a 150 Baja sport kart it looks like the one you were just working on I bought this Baja they had no ignition key it was not running it has no spark I changed the coil core wire spark plug CDI box stator it has no power for the ignition everyone is too busy to help me should I just change the whole wiring harnessI looked it up they do not make it for my 150 sport anymore and I was wondering would it be the same as the one that you were working on if you could help me thank you sir 🤔
You should add those carbs to a box and part strip them later on. Throwing them in the bin is a bit of a waste, there's lots of things still worth a weekend afternoon worth of screwing around to parts pick them. Maybe even make it an intern job.
Hey man so I put a new carb on and stuff it started up ran but has no brakes 😂 but when I push on the gas it like won’t engage in gear really and go foward you kinda have to feather it but I needed someone to push me to get it shifted and when ur driving it like won’t shift to go faster and ideas why please let me know
I'm not positive on this but I think the electric thingy on the carb is an automatic choke. That seems to make the most sense since those don't have a manual choke of any kind.
Hey ReD Beard. I got a TIKING GO CART THAT I GOT RUNNING FINALLY AND I NEED SOME HELP. IM NEW TO THE GO CART RESTORATION FAMILY SO PLEASE HELP ME. WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE IT DOESNT GO JUST REVS HIGH. IT ONLY GOES IN REVERSE. ALSO I AM TRYING TO FIND WHAT THESE MISSING PIECES ARE
Really neat video. I'm sorry, I dont think I'm gonna make it to the windrock meat. It's just a 9 hr drive. I'm gonna try but as it looks right now, I just dont know.
Sounds to me like it's only reving out to about 3500 rpm. Shouldn't a GY6 be turning 5k+? Also engages at really low RPM. Not necessarily a bad thing, but would be more fun w/ a 1800 or so engagement.
Early, about the 4 or so comment. Love the view man keep em up I can’t wait to see how some of your other builds turn out. I’ve been keeping up with all your videos!
It might be profitable to pay you to rebuild the carbs because nearly every of those chineese carbs that i bought had metal shavings in them, brand new! so it would eventually fail pretty quickly.
Do these Chinese buggies come with any real power,like 400cc or more? Some of these look half decent if you don't have the money for a four wheeler or a SXS. Im going to have to see if there are any dealers in my area.
Ok well I dont think you could have put that cotter pin in any more wrong, also known as split pins, split the tails one side over the nut in the castalation ant the the other side over the bolt shank creating a mechanical lock.
Hey Red Beard I did a car toon of you as Redbeardinator. But I don’t know your addy or text cell or E. mail The Crazy Canuck @The cross eyed bass. Funk Fish Farm parry Sound ont. Canada
You do know they make a break bleeding kit thar you can do all this by yourself? They come out with them about yeah 10 years ago! Why? Do you think we all are 10 years old? What a joke!
You are a damn life saver. I changed my master and can't get it to bleed for nothing. Thank you
Pro tip: When using tires to mark trails, cut holes in the sidewalls with a hole saw to drain water, so mosquitos can't breed.
How does that make sense?
@@pearonthree5013 What do you mean?
How does that not make sense? Water drains from holes, which means it doesn't sit ....
@@chrisrodriguez6399 sorry. I thought I was replying to quesadilla.
Just ignore me...
Thanks man what a helpful video for having a master cylinder with 2 circuits. I kept getting one side bled and would get nowhere beyond that!

Mini Mity Vac. Worth the cost many times over, even if only used once. A 2 hour bleed process is down to 15 minutes, or less. And cheap too.

GoPowersports is a GREAT Company!! Very cool guys. Buggy Depot has the best GY6 exhaust deal.
I left the above comments early in the vid. RBG has it down.
Can you do a video detailing how to go through a carb that's been sitting for a while? Specifically how to deal with gummed up jets, etc.?

Can you swap a toque convert on a GY200cc
Nice kart!
Does anyone know where to get the rear case anchor/chain tensioners for these GY6 engines? I can't find them anywhere. It's that U-brace in the back with the bolt welded to it.
What a great trail through the woods!
Looks like battery needs a shield from exhaust!😎
Can you use a single master cylinder for 2 front caliper and one back?

Hey we are having issues with my go kart not starting with key but was told to check my brake pressure switch. What are your thoughts?
With champion rockers on a GX200 need longer push rods and will the valve cover need to be taller? Thanks Der Guy.
What's going on Sir watch all your content 💯 I have a 150 Baja sport kart it looks like the one you were just working on I bought this Baja they had no ignition key it was not running it has no spark I changed the coil core wire spark plug CDI box stator it has no power for the ignition everyone is too busy to help me should I just change the whole wiring harnessI looked it up they do not make it for my 150 sport anymore and I was wondering would it be the same as the one that you were working on if you could help me thank you sir 🤔
Great episode 👍🏾👍🏾
Do i see weeds growing in that trail? looks like it needs some more seat time lol

Braxton growing up before our vary eyes 👀
where can i find the stroke kit to build my gy6 150cc to 250cc?
?
I'm not positive on this but I think the electric thingy on the carb is an automatic choke. That seems to make the most sense since those don't have a manual choke of any kind.
Yep! The enricher kinda works like a choke!
Do you have a video diagnosing a 125 chinese quad that will not fire? If you do can you direct me to it?
What kind of tubing bender do you use?
I really want to know how long and wide the chassis is
I wish I could work as fast as you red beard

hi looking for a drive sproket for a gy6 150cc 17 tooth 26mm spline 520 chain
Good jobs
You have the vacume bleeder why not use it?
Really neat video. I'm sorry, I dont think I'm gonna make it to the windrock meat. It's just a 9 hr drive. I'm gonna try but as it looks right now, I just dont know.
You work on Sachs motors?
Love your videos!! Keep them coming. I learn a lot. :-)
Thanks for the video RBG
You know I love these buggies man 🤘🏻🐿🤘🏻 more more more
👍
Sounds to me like it's only reving out to about 3500 rpm. Shouldn't a GY6 be turning 5k+? Also engages at really low RPM. Not necessarily a bad thing, but would be more fun w/ a 1800 or so engagement.
FREAKIN AWESOME
Braxton 2020!!
I wonder how much of that air filter went through the carb. 🤨
You need a a vacuum blender it’s is life saver when doing brakes
You still have to pump the brakes
To get all the air out
what is the width of the chassis.?
How bout using body mics to help with better audio.
How do you know when you need to rejet and engine?
If you add an intake and exhaust, it's time to rejet. If you don't, the engine will bog down.
Early, about the 4 or so comment. Love the view man keep em up I can’t wait to see how some of your other builds turn out. I’ve been keeping up with all your videos!
The contents of that master cylinder almost looked like old glycerin medicine. :)) Almost like a gel. What the heck.
thats a pretty cool shop.............................................................. ill let myself out the back...

that is a electronic choke...the black part
Why DOT 4? Not criticizing, just why not DOT 3 or 5?
Most full synthetic for one thing. And not as hydrophilic as dot 3.
pretty sure its an electric choke
I’m going to guess the final price for this job was $356.38
an impact on a banjo bolt 😬
Its an electronic Choke.
