750cc Cross Kart Returns! 85 MPH Backyard Built Go Kart!

  • I punched a hole in the oil pan of our last Cross Kart engine, a DOHC 750cc out of a 1982 Honda CB750. Other than the puncture in the oil pan, the engine was tired, a little smoky, and not as powerful feeling as it once was. We picked up another Honda CB750, this time cheaper than the last (we only paid $150 for the whole non running bike!). We fixed stuck valves, rebuilt the top end with new gaskets and seals, and installed it in the cross kart! While this engine still needs tweaking, it's awesome to have the CarsandCameras cross kart back in action!
    Thanks for Watching!

    The Cross Kart needs much taller tires to make it more off-road worthy. And and engine skid plate. :)

      Definitely on the skid plate- we’re not sure the front suspension can handle bigger tires. Only one way to find out

      I agree! Y’all should check out the extreme “rock bouncers” they make and film over on the Busted Knuckle YT channel. Not saying you need to go that extreme, but bigger tires and longer shock (more travel)would make a huge difference in how that buggy handles and it could smooth out the ride (somewhat).

    these vintage engines work really well with Rotella 15/40 non synthetic oil. I use this oil in mostly SOHC 750 engines, and many XS650 Yamaha engines. Car type synthetic oil and oil with a friction modifier additive is what you want to stay away from. I wished I lived close to you guys I would drop by with a box of jets and tune some real power into that thing. :) Great work men this is some real enjoyable content.

    I really enjoy this resurrection but I want to make sure I got it right and haven’t missed anything. John took the cross cart over the course and hit a rock and busted a hole in the pan. So you took the engine out put another engine in just like it didn’t put a skid pad underneath and now you’re going over the same course. I just hope I missed the episode where you put a skid pad underneath that aluminum crank case.
