I need to see an engine race. Draw a big circle in the driveway, put two running engines with race numbers on them in the middle, start them up, and place bets on which will vibrate itself out of the circle first.
Had to watch this vid again. This is, by far, the most attractive build you two have fabbed. The front engine rotating 90 degrees away from the axles looks great and is more reliable. Maybe build something similiar in the future?
What about a rat rod ride on lawnmower ?? Vtwin, straight pipes and some rusted panels? P.s good work guys big fan. All the way from England keep it up :D
You guys are a crack up. I'm currently undergoing my Briggs and Stratton Master Service Technician courses, I'm a technician at a Brigg's authorized service center. We get these L heads in on some antiques that come in. I can't stand these setups, with the carb bowl in the tank, those carbs are ridiculous. To call this the "last, good running briggs 5hp flathead in existence", is a bit of a stretch, however, you're right about parts availability. I can get most stuff, however those carbs are like hen's teeth. If you can even find one, they're over $130. Kudos to you guys for messin around with em, this is a cool build, but those old L heads are still garbage, lol.
+Isaac it'll be fine yea I get what you mean, I have to take my kart out to the industrial area to drive it, but I still hit 60 before I hit the end of the block when I drive in my neighborhood
i have 3 go karts that are pretty old and i recently bought a vtwin diesel clone from china removed the governor and the thing takes off like a bat out of hell and tops out 55mph and if i install the old 4 speed gear box i got from a wrecked yamaha yfm80 it's would accelerate faster and go faster
The Rat Rod Wagon Rock's!!!!! And yes, Pin striping is a must! Also, a vertical steering shaft set up with a T-Bucket steering wheel would look trick and would give it that Rat Fink look. And for the seat, how about a simple aluminum seat pan. Or better yet, a seat pan made from really old license plates?
If you have a fairly rigid chassis and you build some castor into the steering it has the effect of jacking up the inside rear tire when you turn the steering wheel. that is what makes a go-cart turn when you have a live rear axle.
What about something like a dirt track sprintcar style kart with big tires? That'd be awesome to see. Great work guys, big fan - greetings from the UK.
Nice the wagon is coming along nicely you can get those old pan style tractor seats with leather padding a farmall or international color seat would look the part on there since they have red and white colors.
Possible solutions for front tire grip: -Wider, stickier front tires. -Lower tire pressure up front, more in the rear. -Bolt a 30-50lb lead weight to the front of the frame somewhere. -Move the rear axle further back, to just outside and behind the tub. This will move your center of gravity further forward, improving front grip.
I love the Briggs, I grew up racing those and the Yamaha KT 100. But the Briggs hold a special place in my heart. They can be built to be pretty impressive
Shave the head down, use an oversized compression ring and file it to around .010 gap maybe .007, use a 3-1/2 hp Briggs aluminum flywheel and make an adapter for the coil, 3 stage header, get a cam for it or at least reduce the lifter gap to get more lift, nylon or billet oil dipper, tillotson carb. It'll run good!😁🤓
they had a running tiller engine at my local junkyard i think ti was either a 3 hp or a 5 hp Briggs Flathead they said they fire it up like only every year or so might see if i could buy it
Damn, look at Ike and his massive landholdings! Haha. Glad to see this bad boy finally running more like it should. Definitely needs a proper seat, though. The blanket/cushion over the axle makes me nervous. As far as other projects, have you guys considered doing a more off-road build with suspension and stuff? A big ol' engine in one of those 2-seater fun buggies would be cool! No matter what the next project is, I'll be watching. Thanks for being continually awesome!
word of advice: you guys should add a overhang type deal to the back and add the seat to it so it can be "laid back" like how most hotrods are. great vids, keep em' comin'.
Love your guys's channel seen a bunch of your videoskeep on truckin I can't believe you guys beat me to making a radio flyer wagon still going to make one anyway
I've really enjoyed this build and can't wait to see the finished product! I'm the future it would be cool to see you guys do a cart with a 2 cylinder 2 cycle snowmobile engine. I'd suggest the Rotax 377, they're pretty cheap and have around 35-40 horsepower if you get the duel carb model.
you prolly need to have one of the rearwheels freewheel (put on the axle with a bearing in the hub) to be able to turn sharply the way there now mounted to the solid axle makes them act like a dif with a spool in it it wants to go straight only either that or try to lift one rearwheel when cornering might be fun to put one of those 6 feet long oldfasioned fiberglass CB antenna's on the back with a foxtail , makes you a little more visiable too if you find another little red wagon bucket you can saw it in half and mount it on top of the other bucket over the axle , use it as a seat
the last thing you guys need for that kart is a small hot rod model T style grill for the front. Doesnt have to work but it would just absolute kill it in looks

I love that idea

It could give new meaning to losing your marbles. (Playing for keeps)
nothing beats the sound of a good running 5hp briggs flathead running wide open. love it!
+Kyle Koch thanks lol
We're getting close! Maybe headlights and pinstriping next?
i like your show
toss that e3 plug in the trash.

you guys are great! I'm guessing Ike is the motor head!!

P.s good work guys big fan.
All the way from England keep it up :D
+Dannybey Peckk Thanks!
Yo same here I love the channel and the projects just can't get enough
+CarsandCameras and air bag the lawnmower that would be sweet
+Phantom Gaming thanks
the next kart should be one you guys actually fit in
Another great show , and black tees . I gotta get one . Keep the shows coming !
You definitely need to build a 4 cylinder franken engine go kart, that would be ridiculously awesome
that needs one of those old school stamped steel tractor seats
needs an old school metal tractor seat.
+BlakJak Those are the most uncomfortable seats for someone who lacks any kind of butt cushion. Lawn tractor has one and its not one bit comfy.
Glad to see you guys working on the Rat Rod Wagon. This is my favorite build you guy have done so far.
+Robert Casados cool
Either a street or off road kart with a suspension!
One of the coolest builds ever!
I could watch an episode consisting entirely of Ike's cars.
Yup
+M Kefer that would take all day
+Isaac it'll be fine But what an epic day it would be......eh eh??
+Isaac it'll be fine
Doesn't have to be all of them. Start with whats in the Quonset hut at the "Country Estate".
dude. that'd be so badass!!
You guy's inspired me to build my own rat rod wagon.
Yall should do a build with only stuff you can find in Ike's shop
You guys are a crack up. I'm currently undergoing my Briggs and Stratton Master Service Technician courses, I'm a technician at a Brigg's authorized service center. We get these L heads in on some antiques that come in. I can't stand these setups, with the carb bowl in the tank, those carbs are ridiculous.

You guys should use an old metal tractor seat on there
THAT S WHAT I'VE SAID IN EVER COMMENT SECTION OF EVERY RAT ROD CAR VID, IT WOULD BE EPIC
+SBRE
I'm giving thumbs up to anyone who comments this. I have always thought that is what they should do.
I have the exact same tiller with the same engine and it still runs too! but my tiller is in desperate need of new tines.. Those engines are amazing!
You should make a shifter kart with an older dirt bike engine! I think that'd be a really cool project to see and i bet it'll haul ass!
I was wondering why they haven't, they keep messing around going 40mph, my shifter goes 120 on racing fuel. Now that's fun
+lookItsJayden we dont have any place to ride around here. just around the neighborhood. so 40 to 50 is good for now
+Isaac it'll be fine yea I get what you mean, I have to take my kart out to the industrial area to drive it, but I still hit 60 before I hit the end of the block when I drive in my neighborhood
wish we could do that
Love the build!!!
I'm thinking a shifter cart
That front engine is SO sexy. A go kart that actually looks good!! I love it!
i have 3 go karts that are pretty old and i recently bought a vtwin diesel clone from china removed the governor and the thing takes off like a bat out of hell and tops out 55mph and if i install the old 4 speed gear box i got from a wrecked yamaha yfm80 it's would accelerate faster and go faster
you could put a spun tank on the front for weight to turn . thanks for the vid
Who knew Ike was a real estate tycoon?
The Rat Rod Wagon Rock's!!!!! And yes, Pin striping is a must! Also, a vertical steering shaft set up with a T-Bucket steering wheel would look trick and would give it that Rat Fink look. And for the seat, how about a simple aluminum seat pan. Or better yet, a seat pan made from really old license plates?
Next evolution would be a cart with twin 5 hp engines, who needs a v twin when you got "twins" :)
😂
This cart is one of my favorite things.
+hond4srule thanks
ya'll should have a P.O box for fan mail.
Thank you. Keep up the great work!
Can you paint "dirt nasty low" on the side of the rat wagon

If you have a fairly rigid chassis and you build some castor into the steering it has the effect of jacking up the inside rear tire when you turn the steering wheel. that is what makes a go-cart turn when you have a live rear axle.
Oh here's an idea! how about a twin engine AWD kart. one engine at each end
No
+draggonhedd Yes. Twin engine, AWD would take a bit more work, but twin engine RWD is much easier cause the solid axle.
they are making a quad engine awd kart
What about something like a dirt track sprintcar style kart with big tires? That'd be awesome to see. Great work guys, big fan - greetings from the UK.
+Helterskelter4 thanks. hello uk
Build a race kart with a 1000cc liquid cooled snowmobile engine
Ike's a mad man the way he was test driving the rat rod
Thanks for making John get a hair cut! I know ya'll aint rich but you're not homeless either!
So true
love the build
Whip cream can nitrous or no balls.
Suggestion for the next one.
Differential, big offroad tires, independent brake in case of single wheel slippage, suspension. Predator 212 or 420.
+jesondag lifted off road cart would be sick
@@BarrackOcody Finally done it!!!
why not just temperarily set a piece of plywood or something on the back so you arent sitting on the axel
Nice the wagon is coming along nicely you can get those old pan style tractor seats with leather padding a farmall or international color seat would look the part on there since they have red and white colors.
I keep waiting to hear the sad news that one of you died in a tragic buttcheek removal accident from sitting on a damned axle. :P
+Lou Spowells lol. not yet
+Isaac it'll be fine hope not, NEED more projects! Wish I could come help!
great sounding engine. that was the coolest thing ive ever seen.

+best intro ever!!! seriously very professional job. Keep it up!
I just bought a Honda Odyssey go cart and it came with a rebuilt flat head Briggs 5 horse
the 1962 ford falcon of go karts ! LOL
You guys should get an old 1950's era tractor seat to put on that thing.
This cart by far coolest yet
what a killer build fellars! I am thoroughly entertained😎.
+frosto125 thanks
Carsandcameras I would like to see a old wheel barrel tub made into a go cart project. That would be awesome
I honestly love the steering wheel because it is a wagon and I think the whole thing is a beast, I love how y'all put it together
thanks
That thing has a cool sound to it with the header on it!!!
+74Dyenamo thanks
Your welcome.
32 Roadster front radiator grill to cover the front end. You'll have to modify it or build something similar, but that would look bad ass!
I have two flat head Briggs at my house and they both work great. Ones off a tiller and the other one we just had around
Anyway to get a closeup of the throttle linkage? I am using motor with the same carb and am wondering how you hooked it up. Thanks Brad
+Brad B yea. lol . you dont want to see what i did
That thing sounds EPIC!
I love the Briggs, I grew up racing those and the Yamaha KT 100. But the Briggs hold a special place in my heart. They can be built to be pretty impressive
Just put a billet or other aftermarket oil Dipper in them and they stay together pretty good
Shave the head down, use an oversized compression ring and file it to around .010 gap maybe .007, use a 3-1/2 hp Briggs aluminum flywheel and make an adapter for the coil, 3 stage header, get a cam for it or at least reduce the lifter gap to get more lift, nylon or billet oil dipper, tillotson carb. It'll run good!😁🤓
For the seat you guys should use a old mettle tractor seat. That would look cool
they had a running tiller engine at my local junkyard i think ti was either a 3 hp or a 5 hp Briggs Flathead they said they fire it up like only every year or so might see if i could buy it
I keep thinking about an extended front end like a rail, only not quite so long. Hand throttle and brake could work on the T steering wheel.
John: EFI!
Issac: you've gone to far. 😂
Damn, look at Ike and his massive landholdings! Haha. Glad to see this bad boy finally running more like it should. Definitely needs a proper seat, though. The blanket/cushion over the axle makes me nervous. As far as other projects, have you guys considered doing a more off-road build with suspension and stuff?

+Yet Another Car Show i think you will like what we have started on
+Isaac it'll be fine That's right! I forgot that you guys got one and posted it on Instagram. Looking forward to it!
i agree that thing would look sweat with the v twin on pipes down either side
The V-Twin would be sooo sick on that thing, think about it. A big v motor chillin in front of you and dual side pipes.
word of advice: you guys should add a overhang type deal to the back and add the seat to it so it can be "laid back" like how most hotrods are. great vids, keep em' comin'.
You both are great mechanics I love this show
Love your guys's channel seen a bunch of your videoskeep on truckin I can't believe you guys beat me to making a radio flyer wagon still going to make one anyway
Love the build 👍
I like the two engine idea.
Best part is the gear drive sound in that idk what u call it a 90 degree PTO shaft thing? Sounds awsome
this is still one of the coolest things I've ever seen
+Garrick pettus thanks
Absolutely thank you for sharing it with us
thats awesome! It's so loud!

What camera are you using with the GPS?
you prolly need to have one of the rearwheels freewheel (put on the axle with a bearing in the hub) to be able to turn sharply
the way there now mounted to the solid axle makes them act like a dif with a spool in it it wants to go straight only
either that or try to lift one rearwheel when cornering
might be fun to put one of those 6 feet long oldfasioned fiberglass CB antenna's on the back with a foxtail , makes you a little more visiable too
if you find another little red wagon bucket you can saw it in half and mount it on top of the other bucket over the axle , use it as a seat
I would like to see if you could list and have pictures of all of your projects from when you started till present.
Steel hubs on the front wheels would make it look fantastic!
I saw that canoe over by the Jeb Bush Memorial. Looks like it needs an inboard 5hp Briggs.
the last thing you guys need for that kart is a small hot rod model T style grill for the front. Doesnt have to work but it would just absolute kill it in looks
8:18 - "OBD II"
Ike: Woah, woah woah woah.. You've gone too far there.
... You did.
LOVE THE BUILD, Keep up the good work. :P
+K3NnY_G thanks
I just recently found my dads old homemade go-kart with a 5hp Briggs and it started up right away with new oil and gas. thing runs around 30-25 mph
That is the coolest thing ive ever seen.
I love the rat rod wagon... It'll be fine 😊
Man that sounds so nice!
you guys should put like a 250 2 stroke on one of these go karts, make a shifter kart. or just make something crazy fast with gears
hey you guys could get some of the lights like in the main garage and wire them with out door cord for the back shed be lots of light
Build a bracket and put a small tractor seat that hangs off the back. Granted you wont turn for anything, but it might be more comfortable?
You’re on fire 🔥 Ricky Bobby
For the throttle my gocart had bike brakes for the throttle and brake it just slipped onto the steering wheel i wish i had as many engines as u guys
That thing is great, I want one now
You guys should do a off road go kart!!! Super cool
I love that rat rod, it so cool . Need to have a raffle on it lol .
I think it could use a scoop on the carb like you see on the old strombergs and offies!
If only it was an ///M POWER go kart. That would be sick. Power and handling.
Look into Ackermen steering geometry. That may help with the steering issues.
the turbo drift trike is great , BUT the rat rod wagon is the coolest thing you've done!
+robert miller thanks
