The $50 Go Kart Gets a Predator 212!

- In this video, we put a Predator 212cc engine on Taylor's $50 go kart. It probably wasn't the best idea to put such a fast engine on it, as the steering, brakes, axle, and seat need work.
Thanks for Watching!

120 bucks for an engine and atv shops sell gocarts for 7k? I'm in the wrong business.
Cory Sennett i made a custom go kart that goes 60 mph and it costed $600 canadian
I have a stage one predator 212cc go kart that’s about 300 in total for 70mph and 11hp also with a racing clutch.
Maxine can you tell me what you’ve done to it? I’m rebuilding a (barn find) go kart and have no clue what I should be looking for speed wise

Preston what I will list you is what I personally think is the best one to start, once you buy the motor take the governor cause the clutch and that governor on it can explode the piston
I love how you and Ike's catch phrase is "It'll be fine" 😂😂😂😂
This really gives me the itch to build something like this. Finding that old cart frame cheap, locally, has become quite the hassle though! Time and patience I guess.
Darren G. just keep checking craigslist, thats how i found mine
post an ad on Craigslist saying you're looking for old go carts, after a week or 2 you'll have an offer. worked for me
"It'll be fine" I want that on a t-shirt
WallaKowalla it is now
memztv, I guess a comment is never to old to reply too.
WallaKowalla lol but now
Little did he know
MWF GamingForfeits nope...
I love it! Freiburgering it you must be a fan of Roadkill also
Damn roadkill is my favorite show ever, can't wait for Thursday!
The next Roadkill is this Friday
tank7063 The "Bam" and "mint" is also trying to be Freiburger. :)
Hunter Allison
Nope, first Friday in September.
Yes, I'm "Pist" too.

Seeing this video makes me want to go get my old go-cart out of the shed.
I bought it used back in 1991. Last time I drove it was in 1995 and the 5hp B&S ran great but smoked out the neighborhood since it was burning oil so bad. I put that go-kart on a shelf in the shed at my parents house back in 1998 and its been there ever since. I used to go thru at least 5-gallons of fuel everyday I drove it. I can remember when some friends and I took our go-karts over 40-miles on US-70 in the middle of the night when the highway was completely dead. Seemed like I always ended up towing one of the others back from our adventures. Too bad there isn't really anywhere to drive it now or anyone to race with...
thanks for sharing your story.
thanks for sharing your story.
Driving up and down the highway sounds awesome. What type of kart did you have?
This is awesome stuff can't wait to see the 4 way race! I just went out and bought a race kart(almost completely disassembled) with a predator 212. Paid 275 and had it running that night. All thanks to you guys!! Now I just need a torque convertor.....
could you guys do a walk around of all the gokarts you guys own and that frame in the shed?
I love how instead of engine noise it’s just *intense clutch sounds*
Hey Can you guys maybe try too build a wooden go kart it would be awesome too see and easy too build. Great video
slimeball Thanks! And we might do one some time in the future... We have lots of other ideas first. Although I have been wanting to work on something while I am in school in the fall...
Omg thank you i have always wantet a go kart but i have no welding thing so i Can only do it out of Wood
slimeball I'm not positive that I'll do one soon so don't thank me yet! But I understand... Wooden ones have a unique look to them too.
Yeah still well im going too build my own basic one augest 3 with just foot Stering and this is maybe going too Sound crazy but its going too have a small MC motor from 1970 50-60 horse power engine. A power House if you ask me and im going too upgrade too a better go kart latter right now i just Want too say ha in my brothers Face( he is saying i cant build one i shall show him)
50-60 hp for a wood go-kart? That's insane, just put a small one on it and save your big'n.
i get so happy when i see you guys upload
Love the ending drift perfect keep up the good work guys
I love your videos you guys just produce so much quality with the go kart stuff with your videos I don't know why but I watch your videos over many times can you show more stuff like when you are hooking up the throttle cable stuff like that thank you guys
Thanks for the inspiration. Always wanted a go Kart as a kid and never got one. Just bought me a frame on offerup for $60
Lol "Freiburger'ing it", "MINT!" This video was very roadkill themed haha. Awesome job guys!
He also said "BAM" twice. It's like a mini none monthly RoadKill now!
"Frieburgering it" is now my new phrase.
Fryburgering it road kill fan huh hell yeah
I've been waiting for this video! I bought a frame and I'm actually in the process of sanding it down now. It's a one wheel drive but with a jack shaft set up.
I have been awaiting for this video to appear in my Subscribed feed... I'm a happy boy.
dude, this channel is awesome, i love it
I've got 10 go-karts and 6 mini-bikes sitting in the back yard and on the front porch for the grand kids and neighbor kids to ride. This reminds me of the stuff I did when I was about 10 or 12 years old. Ike and John have come a long way since then, and hope they keep it up. I'm 68, but still get a kick out of it even though I have a lot faster stuff now.
the $50 gokart is like a roadkill car
HOLY CRAP THAT'S A CHEEP CLUTCH THEY GO FOR OVER $50.00 WHERE I LIVE.
It's legit 10$ less😑
Your main motto: "It'll be fine" LOL
Now all he needs is another 212 on the other side. 😁
Famous quote from Carsandcameras.. "it'll be fine." lol
for a future project you should turn that old gokart frame into a power savvy beast, with a 420cc engine, govoner removed, aftermarket airfilter and exaust. it would be realy cool to see once your done the radio flyer ratrod
I love ur vids and I understand it takes long for u to upload. These ppl are just inpatient *carsandcameras
The best part was "freiburgering it"....roadkill is awesome
It was a good show :(
thanks for the advise
What a cool video I know how long the process takes to make videos and upload them so just keep posting when you can
damn thank u guys for making this video it really helped us out on our project
Great video very helpful!!!
can´t wait for the next part...
Roadkill meets 805Roadking!
I'm impressed!
steve
I have the same 212 cc engine on my metal Go Kart frame and the motor broke my frame in 2 different places by my mount its so strong but until i weld it i have a cumalong from the front end to the back end to bring the frame together haha works for now. Those motors are very fun on dirt roads btw!
love all your vids but you need more of them :)
The smile ike gives at 1:33 tells me this is going to be a good video.
You guys inspired me I bought 2-2 seaters for my two boys for a steal got the first one running today
Loved the the ROADKILL reference
Roadkill all time fav...
I love the David friberger joke
Fry Burgering it! OMG LOVE YOU!
Love the nod to roadkill
Nice job guys. Next time you need to put a big ass boom box on it.
I had a similar cart when I was a kid. I had to block the wheel while I started it, or it would start rolling. Is that what the clutch does?
Gonna be putting my 212 on my old worn out kart that i also paid 50 bucks for it used to have a honda GX120 which is about the same size as my 212 cant wait to get the old kart up and running
Loved it! Once again looks like a panic to ride on the edge of death! Lol
Live axle and some new meats should solve the traction issue.
BTW, my monster moto 80 just blew a clutch into three pieces on the back plate and the crankshaft chipped at the keyway slot. Totally bummed😭
I have a call into monster moto and we'll see if it is covered. Only had bike since February.
When you drift right the moter cuts off if you unplug the oil sensor u can drift with out it cutting off
Sean Skipper so that's why stalling interrupts my backyard gymkhana-kinda
I remember when I put a 6.5 Honda on my sketchy kart when I was 13. one wheel peels, stretching/throwing chains, burning through tires weekly. I miss the them days. :'D
Wow i have that same exact frame with the same setup you know what will make driving that go kart even more fun, Disconnect the yellow cable by the on/off switch for the oil sensor so you can drift right ways its so the engine doesn't shut off when going sideways it super fun and you don't even need to take off the governor because the motor already has enough power to power slide u sideways best of luck to you guys would be awesome to see a video of you guys trying it
'Friberger'ing it. classic.
I wonder where y'all were. I'm in Birmingham, and it looked like y'all weren't too far. Anyway, I enjoyed the video man. 🖒
thanks so much for the video. This is literally exactly what i wanted. Are you going to make it a live axle? Or no?
Logan Kennedy Yessir. We have parts in the mail from Go Power Sports right now.
Nice video! probably the first time I've ever been one of the first ten to view a video. Anyways, How long did your clutch normally last on the 9.5 hp kart?
trevor kidd I'd say after a few hours of riding, which for me translates to around 9 months. I've never really spent any longer than 30 minutes riding my kart at any one time. There really are a ton of factors with regard to clutch wear. If I have a larger rear sprocket, the clutch will wear less as it spends less time engaging (which is what causes the wear). There are high-performance clutches that are build for higher horsepower applications, but they also need to be rebuilt and they're quite expensive. If you ride casually, get either one of these clutches or a torque converter.
CarsandCameras thanks for the reply, I've been wondering about that for a bit
6:02 "it'll be fine" hahaha
love ut vids dude
great video!
I'm planning out a build of a go-kart for a school project. Is there any pointers you could give to a first timer?
I just got a racing go kart with a blown predator but I ordered another one can't wait!!
Brandon Greene Have fun man!
+C. Paul thanks man I got it going!
+BG__ __S13 What happened to the first one?
+DarkLinkAD I believe it was ungoverned and ran to hard I didn't do it my neighbor did
How did you guys make the other go kart fast. Can you make a video of how you moded the engine
hey i dont know any thing about these engines but i was planning on replacing my atv engine with one of these but why do you need a clutch system. again i dont know much about engines ive onnly used and worked on a manual gear shofting atv engine.
The scariest part of you opening that barn was seeing that gateway box, the nightmares are coming back to me.
DeeKay Hahahahaha. 90s throwback.
hey guys ,have u guys ever try to make your own live axle. .. can you make a video of building one... like cheap built
Finally another video
“Straight Outta Ginny”
*drops motor*
Me: clap clap clap 👏
I have a question I got a go kart with a predator 212 engine on it and it does not have a clutch and obviously just putting a centrifugal clutch with a chain and another sprocket would be the easiest but would that be as good as a torque converter or would a tour converter be a lot better please help me answer my question
"It'll be fine." Famous last words.
Switch one of wheels because that one is balled out
hey cars and cameras, I was wondering if u could post the link or name of the other motor that was on the 50$ gokart
I NEVER UNDERSTOOD THE FRIEBURGERING IT UNTIL I WATCHED ROADKILL
Do you know whether any of these types of stores can be found in Italy or the Netherlands?
What store were you guys at that sells them clutches for 40 bucks?
Think they said tractor supply.
Buy online for $15...
you guys should do a build with that frame in the shed
Hey i really need some help im restoring a one wheel drive and it has brakes that press on tires it so old. how does a drum brake fit on that is my question and where can i get one
Where do you get all the cheap frames because I am looking for one but can't find any.
Where did you get the sprocket? What is the second store in the video?
What is the name of the farm supply store that you got the clutch? We have tractor supply here but like you said, clutches are $60+ there and I'd rather get the same quality for cheaper
Anyone coming back from 2021 and watching the old vids?
The price of those engines has gone up. Bought my first one today for $124.99
Forget the black widow spiders. There was a Gateway computer box in there! Oh the HORROR!!!!!
I love your land man.
I'm in NC too btw, Mount Airy (Mayberry)
where did yall but the motor from and the clutch
I really enjoyed the Roadkill flip-flops reference. I've really been enjoying the channel though, and as far as car shows go, you guys are a close third. (First is and always will be Top Gear...or whatever the three move on to next...sorry guys...)
+ichalz thanks for at least putting us in the same comment as top gear and roadkill. we feel honored to top 3 0r 4. im just going to say( IT'LL BE FINE ) lol thanks for watching
You're keeping it fun to watch, basically the same things people like about their favorite car shows, but badass projects with a budget of $300, instead of $3000.
I have a black widow go kart, will a 212 fit? And will it require fab wrk?
Do the the throttle cables come with the engine?
thanks!
Just dug up my old kart from when i raced as a kid, used to do 45mph with 3hp briggs, mid mounted and my 160lb 10 yo fat ass riding it at the time, im gonna go pick up one of these and see how she does 20 years later, thanks for the info on the engine!
so sketchy! I love it
Where did you find the go kart. I can't find them on Craigslist
Hey also would like to ask where I can locally pick a predator up in east coast nj. Thx
So what's the top speed you can get on a go kart with a predator 212
hey dude , i live in youngsville nc or franklinton and i was wondering do yall live close to raleigh
What clutch does the predator 121cc engine use
You know what? I think I might just favorite this video.
Hello, I have a predator 212cc 6.5 horse power motor. I am looking for a starter for it. Can there be a starter on that engine and if so could you tell me which one? Thanks, Dylan
Go pro needs to go up on the angel a little bit but other then that great build looking to build one of these how much was the motor ?
ShadyChris $100 on sale.
What store did you get the clutch? I live in Winston Salem so I don't even know if it's near that store and i really don't want to spend $60 at Tractor Supply haha.
Should I buy a Predator 212? Or use my old Kohler 16 horse? I'm trying to make it go fast as I can but on a budget. Lol thanks for the opinions and help.
