Coolster500 - Snowmobile Powered Go Kart Part 3
zhlédnutí 3,8KPřed 3 lety
In this video I finish up construction of the rear end of the buggy. This includes mounting jack shafts, cluctches and chains. I also mount the rest of the parts including: fuel tank, oil injection reservoir, radiator and overflow tank. I ended up with a set of Fox shocks that fit the bill for the rear end too. After mounting the new shocks and rear brake caliper, I review plans for Part 4.
Summer 2020 Ride w/ 3 Wheelers, Dirt Bikes, Mini Bikes & Go Karts.
zhlédnutí 1KPřed 4 lety
In this video we ride around the new "mini bike track" I've been building then hit the trails. We rode every type of ground from dirt track to pavement, to mud and sand. Eventually I break out the 3 wheelers and do a speed run with the 250sx. Cousin Shaun breaks a few belts on his Baja Mini Bike while I almost kill myself dusting off the 250 Ninja Buggy on the new mini bike track. At some point...
Coolster 500 - Snowmobile Powered Go Kart Part 2
zhlédnutí 2,8KPřed 4 lety
In this video I chop off parts of the old roll cage to make way for the new rear end. I start using my tube bender only to burn through all my tube and discover my metal supplier closed for the corona virus. I found plenty to do in the meantime. I nearly buttoned up the rear roll cage, mounted the Polaris engine and fabricated the new swing arm.

Racing Off Road Go Karts in the Snow 2020
zhlédnutí 84KPřed 4 lety
I start this video out plowing and grading the snow track with my John Deere 3320 tractor. After the track was completed, Kyle, Chris, John, and Jay showed up for racing. We raced four go-karts side by side. The Carter Talon 150cc, Black Kandi 150cc, American Sportworks Carbide 420cc, and 250cc Ninja Buggy. It was a day to remember.

Barrels of Fun w/ Off-road Go-Karts & 55 gal Plastic Drums

In this video we have some fun coming up with new ways to use 55 gallon barrels. Like our buggy bowling video, this vid shows us crashing our go karts into stacks of drums. Only this time we get more speed using my driveway. We have also strapped barrels to the front for added impact protection. In an attempt to cool off, we ratchet strap a barrel to each of our buggy's roofs, fill them half fu...

This is so sikkkk!! Awesome work
What the heck!! I thought everyone says these aren’t rebuildable once locked up. Where did you get those oil seals? Awesome video, thank you
The 200 big reds front shocks are unrebuildable
You made a great video with everything we all need to know so we can do this ourselves... Thank you!
I usually lean my bikes when I do the filter so the spring doesn't fall
Weird people out there. Why would you want to use vaseline when you can use bearing grease that under heat will melt and flush down with oil? Do you know the chemical reaction of vaseline when it's mixed with oil and exposed to heat? Noo!!
I've restored a few of these old bikes 4 Honda's and 1 Yamaha. Looking for another one but people are asking stupid prices now. I get it there rare but they're not that rare that people are asking $1500 for 1 with a seized engine and completely clapped out.
Great vidoe I need to find new seals and rebuild mine.
i wish i could buy something jiust like that
i wish i had a buggy like that

This is what happens when you give "matured" children money
Your 2016 Kandi looks AWESOME 👍🏻 Great colour too!
where did you get the trailer hitch for the SX?
It came with it. I assume it is OEM.
Wow! Great job!
I have one of this . Where i can to Buy suspensión parts?
Go power sports probably
Hi, I just found your channel and subscribed because you have really interesting content, and like your fabrication skills. I want to encourage you to do some more videos.
Thanks for subscribing. One day I’ll get back to making videos. Life gets busy fast.
Nice work. You torque converter is installed backwards, yes it is, the springy side is opposing on the symmetric torque converters. Just flip the front around, possibly some shimming but its worth it.
Awesome video! Thanks
Cuanto. Vale. Ese. Vugui
would be nice to see that build step by step but thanks for the idea
where did you get the oil drain line? i need 1 for my 420 carbide build.
Amazing job. I am about to start my build. Hope im not getting in over my head.
Good luck! It’s all worth it in the end.
thanks for the video! do you have a link for the seal replacement kit you used?
Where do you find you parts
Is there a way to keep them running in the winter, we have no garage. And the throttle gable gets stuck. Cant start maybe cause it needs thinner oil. Idk what else. Any tips would help. We use it for towing the kids sled.
I keep my go karts outside under a tent all winter. I usually use 5w30 in winter and 10w30 in the summer. The throttle cable issue is common. Usually water makes it’s way in the cable and freezes and or corrodes the cable. Replace your throttle cable with a new one. They are all over eBay for 10-15$. Also get yourself a trickle charger to keep your battery fully charged during the cold months. A can of starting spay goes a long way to. Give the air filter a little spritz before initial startup. Good luck and have fun!
Would the fluid amount be the same for a 200s I've heard 3 Oz and 3.8? Thank you
I believe the 200s, 200m, and 185s all take 3oz per fork.
Never finish it..?

That John Deere sounds an awful lot like the engine and hydraulics in my dad's Kioti. I mean, blindfolded I'd say its a Kioti.
How does a guy get an invite to your annual Kart race?! looks like fun 👍🏻 you ever get the snowmobile Kart up and running? keep waiting for that video
Haven’t done the winter race in a beat. Go karts are dwindling. Lost the Nina buggy to a garage fire. Interests shifted to riding 3 wheelers. Still love them buggy’s though. The coolster was finished and needs some tweaking. fb.watch/mOUeD1w96Q/?mibextid=KZAQMH
where our you getting your parts from
Mostly from eBay.
Thank you ! Very good information
so much fun love it!
Hello this video is so helpfull thank you, im just starting a restore project on the same atc, could you let me know where you ordered your seatcover from? Thanks!
How many teeth on your front and rear sprockets?
Thanks dude, I just bought an '85 Big Red, plan to restore it and the front forks are locked up.
You’re welcome. Good luck!
Did you get them free’d up? We got a 85 big red with seized front shocks stuck in the down position
nice work! can you send me the project?? tanks!
Really cool bike
Any tip to unscrew the long bolt mine is lock very hard
I can't unscrew the bottom bolt! in all the videos, people just unscrew with a hex key and that's it! I have it scrolled together with the rod into which it is screwed! I don't understand how it can be disassembled! what is the problem?
If you are referring to the 6mm Allen bolt at the bottom. Try soaking the bottom of the forks in PB blaster or diesel fuel. Mine came out real hard!
@@nate32185 thanks! how did you fix the stock inside?
How do you go about figuring out what chain you need to go from the engine to the wheel?
Usually you match up the chain with the sprocket from the quad. In most cases though, clutches for predator 212 engines will use #40 or #420.
They don’t make those atc no more your ruining it with a. Go kart engine it’ll never be worth anything
Good video and nice bike. The choice of oil was wrong though.
I had a pop up disclaimer for the oil. Did it not pop up? Was supposed to say “Use motorcycle oil for wet clutch and don’t screw the oil dipstick in when checking oil level.”
Do you sell?, and How much is it?? I await an answer!
Thank You for the vid , I have been mulling over getting an ATC for winter trail maint . Had thought about a Big Red , but remembering the 250 SX , I like some of the features to the SX . I hope to find one . THANX . !
love these builds.
How much does that buggy weigh roughly and what's your sprocket sizes?
I believe the buggy was 500 lbs stock. I used the 45 tooth sprocket from the bike and a 13 tooth up front.
@@nate32185 So your running a 3.5:1 final ratio and hows the bottom end power like torque wise? I have a 1 seater woods buggy that weighs around 600LBS and am trying to find a good torquey gear ratio for strictly woods/hill climb riding using the same Ninja 250 engine. Does it do good at hill climbs? I am thinking running a 9:1 ratio but want to hear your thoughts on your set up as a reference first.
Haha nice...n love the Days of Thunder music mixed in with it...good good movie
You’re the first to notice. Awesome movie!
@@nate32185 Yes it sure was! Currently building a 327 race engine for my chevy s10...going to play the theme song for the first fire up 😆
Curious how many acres is this?
Let's see a top speed run, and a hole shot
