    This go kart is called the A-kart , named after my little girl (Allie) . In this video I let my little boy Cody drive it for the first time.
    My other builds and Playlists... czcams.com/users/Tmansgok...
    This kart has a 6.5 from Harbor Freight. They do not carry these any more but they do have the 212cc and they would be the same type of thing.

    It's been ages since I've rode a go-cart. I bet he sure had fun, especially with the circles. I like the LED upgrade. My dad is pretty handy with mechanical and electrical things as well. Keep being a great dad. Bless you.

    @W4RD1N8ER Před 9 lety

    Right on my son would be in his glory if he had one of those he loves to operate machines like quads and skidoo but he does not have his own toy. I know the feeling you have when your kids are so happy doing things like this makes life so worth it for dads and the kids never forget it.

  • @themainproblem
    @themainproblem Před 10 lety

    Cody, you did a great job driving a very cool vehicle. My dad built me a go-kart in 1968 from angle iron and old lawn mover parts. It had no brakes and no throttle control. You would start the engine and then engage drive by moving a handle that snugged up a belt. It was difficult for this 7 year old to operate. :-) I managed to drive it around the house 3 times and then stop it by hitting the inside garage wall. :-) That was the end of go-karts for a long time.

  • @sandrakeener1395

    You, Sir, have the perfect backyard! It's where ideas and dreams come alive, example being the go-kart you built. One day I hope to have a setup like yours; Garage to do some tinkering and building, other assorted outbuildings for storing the things to tinker with, and just space to live. Cheers.

  • @allseriousness

    Good to see you're not over protective, and let your kid learn by himself! My first swimming lesson was my uncle chucking me into the 12 foot deep end. First day after training wheels was behind a condemed school yard, cover in broken glass, Pops said, " You see all that glass? You dont want to fall!!" First motorcycle lesson was 1 down 5 up on a old Elsinore two stroke. First driving lesson was on pops lap, in a 69 Charger with straight pipes and cherry bomb glass packs.

    Cody, I'm glad you got to share with your dad and us the fun in the go-kart that he built. You have a dad to be admired and respected.
    Dad, it's kinda cool to see a kid just playing and having a blast without a care in the world. That's how we played when I was a kid. I have the scars to prove it. Would you consider having Cody wear some head gear? Maybe add a seatbelt and a roll bar, like on a Shelby Cobra, to add some protection for him and the engine area?
    Darn! I sound like my dad now, telling everyone to be safe (I don't think it bothered him if we got hurt, that's what kids do. I think he just hated the inconvenience of taking us to the hospital, lol!) Now go play!
