- We attempt to do diesel performance modifications on our 411cc diesel go kart, but everything we look at on the engine has some kind of factory defect! We have: a gap in the intake where the engine can suck dirty air in, an oil leak, an exhaust leak, the whole setup with the torque conveter weighs 130 pounds, and all kinds of red flags with the flywheel. The casting on the flywheel is very poor, after just an hour of run time, we have a broken fin on the flywheel, and we noticed air pockets in the casting, meaning that this diesel engine's flywheel could break apart at high or moderate RPM. We still have fun doing go kart wheelies and doughnuts!

The tractor flap is the best upgrade you’ve ever made to any vehicle
Just about pissed myself when John was spinning around and around faster and faster in the wheelie! That should go in one of the monster trucks
Yeah in the one they havent built yet.
I hereby dub thee: diesel washing machine
Lmao yesssir
That flywheel isn't broken, it's just trying to balance itself!
No, that's actually how you balance a flywheel in a cheap agricultural motor inn Chinese factories. You use a die grinder to remove a little material from the heavier side.
You beat me to it
That diesel might look cool in the green and white monster truck!
One hell of an idea
Yes
That's exactly what I was thinking, who wouldnt love to see a mini monster truck rolling coal?!
Literally exactly what I was about to say
As cool as that sounds thing would be a wheelie machine and the truck wheelieing sounds terrifying
You've got to put a turbo on that!
TearThemUp and it need to be faster
@@saabwitha2.3turbo81 yes definitely
And EFI
@@coles_customz5416 Does not really need it tbh. You can adjust the fuel as it is
@@coles_customz5416
It's already fuel injected, it's a diesel.
100% this is a defective engine that didnt pass production test and someone is selling them unbranded instead of tossing them
Nyx Reaper
It’s certainly not defective
Nyx Reaper facts
The branded ones are $1,500 USD, and the no-brand is $650.
These are just Yanmar clones, not rejects.
@@tacomas9602 yea, sometimes people use the terms "defective" and "made in China" interchangeably. ;)
What happened before at the chinese factory:
" Do we need quality control? "
" NAH, our crap wont pass that anyway. "
Guys, with diesel, it's all in gearing. The torgue that engine makes will handle the load of taller gears👍
Crazy Curly but we’re gonna keep the gears low because TWO WHEELS FOREVER
@@THESLlCK itll still pull onto two wheels with much tall gears, itll actually pull up at faster speeds too has more to do with engine placement than the power im sure a 5hpbriggs could pop that cart up with 130lbs hangin behind the axle
they could almost go direct drive maybe 1.66 or so would be ideal have to just experiment and find a balanced ratio
Andrew Browner well I was just joking but you got a point
They shouldn't be changing the gearing after the torque converter that's slipping. Gear it up before the torque converter to make the diesel's output more like a petrol engine that the torque converter is built for.
@@THESLlCK error 101 funny not found
If u buy the aluminum stock and pay shipping I will make you an aluminum flywheel.
Dave’s Boredom Busters @carsandcameras
Dude if they do you'd come in clutch so hard man. love this community
If I duplicate the iron flywheel in aluminum 1:1 it will still be pretty heavy compared to what you’d use on a gas engine, and will keep the engine’s power pulses smooth enough, but it’ll be half the weight, so it’ll rev from 0-3800 in 2/3 the time. Still need to get a lighter primary spring, maybe even lower weights, on the primary clutch to get it to start hooking up at closer to 1100 instead of 2500 haha.
I need to make more videos of machining stuff, machining you guys a billet aluminum flywheel will be just the ticket.
Not sure a light flywheel will be better.
When you're unsure of the torque spec, just use my proven method: tighten it 'til it strips and back it off a quarter turn. ;-)
The way Ike caresses those bolts when he puts them in... MaJeStIc!!!!
I feel like this motor.....deserves a project of it's own 😁 like a cummins power wheel build
Mike Teets YES
Do you know that Cummins is a brand😂😂😂
@@TylerStrandlie meh just put some stickers on it
That laughing at 12:25 is what this is all about. Y'all are awesome. Thanks for sharing these projects with us!!!
That circle wheelie had me balling 😂😂
Lance Trombly that’s called a funco F9 move
In my best Steve Irwin voice-
"You see her try to do the bloody death spin on em she did?!?!"
David Rye rip the great onr
Use the engine on a "Kart recovery Kart" like a tow truck.
That is what I was thinking. 4-wheel drive, big knobby tires. Awesome recovery vehicle.
They should put in the monster truck and make it 4 wheel drive
Great idea, there will be plenty of recovery jobs on the next mini mayhem event. :D
THIS THING IS SO BAD IT'S AMAZING!!
So is this ... 👍😎🏁
Gokarts on ice...
czcams.com/video/kF_t8R956n8/video.html
I had a super fun ideal! put a differential on the rear axle and then put separate brakes on each wheel, this will allow you to control and steer the cart while doing wheelies!
Turbo diesel rod. If you have a wheel barrow id love to see a turbo diesel t bucket go kart
u should gear up it as high it can go to get some speed and turbo
I LOVE IT!
Hey guys, machinist here. Please use collets when milling, most drill chucks are pressed onto a taper since all they see is vertical load while drilling. So the side load or horizontal load you create while milling causes the drill chuck to slowly walk out of that taper, either injuring you or destroying your part. Be safe 🤘
My mom talking about me with other moms: 13:06
That's funny
John: "we have no idea what to torque that nut nut to"
Isaac: gives the "that what she said" look...😂😂😂🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Gaskets... we don’t need no stinkin’ gaskets😂
That's about $1,500.00 worth of fun! And I got about $50 worth just watching, thanks!
Can I just say I enjoy watching yall. I dont get the hate people bring. Neither of you claim to be experts. Yall just have fun and enjoy tinkering with these things.
Classic vid! U guys should make a heavy ish 4x4 tow rig with that and a turbo in it lol
It might not be fast but it can probably pull Ike's truck with 4 flat tires! 🤣
Thumbs up!👍🏼
It's so bad it's good lol
Really loving the 2 stroke and diesel builds guys!! 👍🏻
Leaving a like just for the wheelie donut.
Yes! I love when you have no plan and just wing it. Feels like some of your earlier videos where you flew by seam of your pants most of the time on a shoestring budget lol. Awesome build so far!
First time I've ever heard a raincap called a Tommy knocker
Me as well, I tried to look it up even
First time I've heard an exhaust flap thingy called a raincap or a tommy knocker, raincap makes more sense
Ive always called them flapper caps
Mother in laws tongue
czcams.com/video/WbZVzo-h5aM/video.html
The Chinese farmers would put that on their tractor buggies in a heart beat and be satisfied.
Why is thumbs down even an option ???
Who TF thumbs down this video and why ?
These guys are awesome, they are fun and share cool stuff.. what's not to like.
Great video
Thank you for taking the time to share all your cool builds.
Currently watching the video lads here in Ireland. Great as always. I'm no expert but just a thought on the lightened flywheel idea - I always thought that diesels need a seemingly overly heavy flywheel to help with momentum because of having such big compression ratios ie 19:1? Just a thought.... Great stuff lads
Up da deise !!!
Thats very true. Also with heavier internal parts and the fact it has to run an injection pump, it needs that extra weight to keep the momentum going.
Shoot me the specs. I'll make you a billet aluminium one
You make any other it's by chance
Me to me too
What’s your email?
@@CarsandCameras you need to pit the 360 wheelie in the intro
Try a light weight flywheel if you want. I'd be concerned due to the high compression ratio and the lighter flywheel lack of momentum. Also due to the torque, diesel engines do their work at low RPMs.
Love it, love the projects. This is the type of thing we did as young guys around 12 years old trying to hot rod our hand me down mini bikes. My favorite had an old Tecumseh 6.5 or 7.5 not sure. (This was back in 1984 or so). The difference is you guys are doing it knowing how to actually weld and have enough scratch to buy parts etc. ….Nobody can get on a minibike or go-kart without a huge grin on there face.
i love ike's eternal optimism. "it'll be fine." eventually, it always is...
Motor would be perfect if you made a mini rock crawler
It's diesel, if you want to make power you need manifold pressure :D give it a turbski.
You guys have so much fun. Love this series.
This idea turned out to be more fun to watch than I thought it would. 👍
Putting a lightened flywheel on that is going to hurt it's performance. Don't do it, it's not a gasoline engine!
Yep its a diesel there not suppose to run high rpm there all about the torque
THIS
Juat came to comment the same
Stanton High wouldn’t it be all about fueling that would increase rpm?
It definitely needs a higher quality flywheel though. Aluminum is just the next lighter, next stronger option. With as porous as that casting is, I wouldn’t want to stand next to it running anything over idle. You’ll likely not lose significant amounts of mass by switching to solid aluminum, but you’ll get a far more homogenous and solid metal than that pot metal claymore
I like his shop. So much more room to build and work and move around with everything
They could put in. Bunk beds.....more room for activities !
@@greywuuf 😁😆😆
Lol I’m dying!! The donut wheelie was the best!!! 🤣🤣
You NEED a heavy flywheel to help compress the air in the compression stroke.
Not that heavy on that small of an engine.
I bet you will actually be happier with a heavier one than a lighter one ...diesels are about low RPM tq. Leave the heavy flywheel and reliable idle, work with the engagement on the variable drive clutch and gearing. Also find a reasonable project for that .....put a hydrostatic pump on it and do an all wheel drive or track driven crawler.......
thats wrong. A heavy flywheel is used in diesels to help them run smoothly at low RPM. Has nothing to do with helping with compression
@ 6:43 This is the first time I've heard Isaac say, "It'll Be Fine" without conviction. "It'll Be Fine...right?". It took a cheap diesel to make that happen.
Diesel isn't meant to put out the "R's" You're probably already after the peak on the HP and torque curve.
This cart+wheelie bar+drag strip=fun
That’s sick guys. Nice job ripping circles on the kart. TardSquad Approved 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
The intake having some leaks won’t matter now as diesels run with no throttle plate
Yes but it defeats the purpose of the airfilter
@@conner5611 yep can kiss the valve's goodby if it starts taking dust
@@redneckasmr-xd1gg and Piston rings
@@conner5611 no joke i had to rebuild dirt bike's that the last owner's ran with no air filter at least they were honda so parts were easy to get.
@@redneckasmr-xd1gg yep I work on lawnmowers it's very common for the owners to run them with no air filter or a completely dirty one
It needs a small engine turbo. There. I said it.
Edit: It's a diesel. Those things always need turbos, right?
Aidan Morris some diesel yes some no that little guy yes it needs a turbo
yes and yes
Nah put truck turbo on it
GameChangerPro YT the engine can’t run that big of a turbo, the turbo from the drift trike would be better
@@oldschoolrepairshop2866 You're both right.
Gentlemen, that diesel is not going to like more rpm, it will like getting lugged though. I think you're on the wrong track getting it to rev higher. If you want higher speeds then much taller gearing and taller tires should be your aim! Thanks for the video though guys. That reveal shot with the 1 light on was super cool!
You realize that the "shut down lever" is actually a compression release for starting right?
greywuuf
That doesn’t make sense to me....diesels need compression....
@@tacomas9602 it releases a part of the compression only on the first stroke so you can pull start it easier. After the first rotation it disengages automatically.
@@szekelyferenczzoltan2274 basically a Jake brake lol
@@mrmolasses5366 Na not a Jake Brake their is valve inside the cylinder head which opens to reduce compression so quite the opposite really
@@gnaedigerfels hence why i said basically *basically a Jake brake*
That’s perfect 👌 make a towing rig or something to use all that torque
Cool AF!
Stretch the frame and move the engine/seat forward w/ engine weight directly over the rear wheels and let’s see how fast it’ll go!
Omg the 360 degree wheelie was freaking amazing!!!!
Did anyone else notice the first 360 wheelie when he straightened the wheels the go kart also went straight lol that thing looks like a blast
That's the greatest thing ever guys I cried laughing
I guess you could say "It does wheelie good donuts" lol
Ok I'll stop
Adult sit n spin😂🖖
He’s Tilt-A-Whirl’n! (Yikes!)
That was good!! :-) I'm surprised I didn't think of it!
I died when I saw it doing the donuts XD
It's a bummer about the lack of replacement parts, but man you had me rolling when John started doing a pierroette in the diesel cart. The torque is there, just getting it to the pavement in the proper ratio
D Lemmer ID'd their Chinisium Diesel Engine as a clone of a Yanmar L100, so they could use parts, both OEM and aftermarket parts for that motor. There should also be a lot of ways to soup up or otherwise modify a Yanmar L100 as well as useful specifications on CZcams and around the Internet.
@@sparky6086 a China knockoff Yanmar, make sure John and Isaac know
Steampunk go kart! Love it!
That thing needs a single wheelie wheel, with a TILLER to steer while front is up!
don't sacrifice the charging system for a lightweight flywheel. It's a diesel, it doesn't need a light flywheel.
It’ll probably run rough, but I want to see the dumpster fire anyhow!!!
The flywheel on it is already literal crap as they said, so it technically needs to go before it quite literally explodes because of too much RPM on it.
What does the charging system have to do with the weight of the flywheel? If I were to reproduce the flywheel in aluminum I would retain the factory rotor. But as stated by Timtee, the original casting is junk, with as porous as the machined surface is I’d be afraid to stand near that thing at anything over idle.
@@timteecvhn diesel's are not supposed to spin a lot of RPM'S...
@@gallupcustomknives2293 a lighter flywheel will kill performance of that engine.
Couldn't help to see that nice split bumper Camaro and that early 90s Dyno bmx. You guys have some nice builds and nice cars
Wheelie donuts alone makes that thing worth while.
I'd rather see it geared to take advantage of all that torque an still keep the wheels on the ground but that just my two cents
it screems "i need aTURBO!!!!!!!!!!"
Omg I haven’t heard Ike say “thank you Go Powersports!”in soooooo long!
Guys, I have watched your videos for over a year now but the first time I've laughed so hard I backed up to watch the diesel again. Play it again please. Lmao 🥰🧙♂️
I wonder if AvE would be able to help you out with machining the flywheel lol
Maybe this old Tony.
@@thedude7726 he would be the better choice. Ave is smart but shipping across the border something that heavy would get expensive and he isnt the type to do collabs
Garrett Runsick I was about to say.
Their slowest go cart build yet.
Is more fun that any of the others.
Get some collets for the mill. Applying lateral cutting forces to a drill chuck like that is a great way to break your drill chuck, end mill, and workpiece. CDCO tools makes great tooling for that mill that is very affordable. I have hundreds of dollars of their stuff (dozens of items) and I'm pleased with everything I've received.
Y'all need to have a wheelie competition with the diesel and black widow!
I love how it sounds liike a stock 212 now
Being a Yanmar clone, just use their specs. Check out mini tractor pulling sites for mod info.
Terrific info and advice. It'll save 'em a lot of trial and error!
I came here to say that! You'd be mad to think that sort of engine was an original design and not a copy!
Shoutout from TAT Express out of Hutchins, TX
I freaking love it. Wheelie Circles are Awesome!
I have that very same Go-Kart kit , I added 14 " extension to the front and moved pedals as well,
Perfect home for the engine is in the river as an anchor for Isaac’s boat.
That opening was hilarious...
This engine is the definition of “it’l be fine”.
Need to change springs in torque converter for the lower rpms
You should see if you could collaborate with the CZcams channel “This Old Tony”. He might be able to machine an aluminum flywheel on his channel.
Or AvE
Any day you can do "a spinning-donut-wheelie" is a GREAT day!!!
Set motor is pretty cool even though it is slow still can have tons of fun
No torque converter, just hook it straight up, you’ll go pretty fast😂
low rpm not help speed
pray it never runs away during a wheelie, pretty likely when youre tilting the engine so much
Justin Lott typically runaways only happen when the oil seals on the cold side of a turbo let go. This being N/A it would be very unlikely for that to happen.
i dont really think there is anything that could cause a runaway on this engine?
It’ll be fine...
@@NellisNelson not entirely true the valves seals can do it as well as the piston rings if you tip it to to extreme of an angle it may not drain the oil back from the valve cover causing it to pool around the valve seals leaking oil into the air intake causing the runaway (Volkswagen 1.5l,1.6l engines would run away this way (yes na engines) the fix was a baffle placed in the valve cover to redirect the oil to the drain holes) and the rings could leak oil past if tilted too far
Valve seats and rings, but the biggest things on these engines is the crankcase vent tube that runs to the intake. Putting this engine on funny angles fills the vent line, and they run off
MONSTER TRUCK!!!! that motor could be perfect for the truck!!
I really like this one cause its different...and glad people already offering to help (we need videos from them too if so)
Reality these days all you need is a 3d printer + Scrap + foundry (can be done at home, but centrifugal casting is best for flywheels etc if not from billet) and that is a whole episode or two :)
Your in the US where access to materials/skills/professional help is by far easier to acquire and for cheaper than a lot of the rest of the world, shit i would save 1000's of dollars a year if i didn't have to pay exchange rate/customs/shipping for parts for stuff not available locally.
So work hard, play hard and learn new skills while your at it
Didn't you know that a diesel isn't going to rev very high? Then why try?
If you adjust the governor you can make it rev higher
These engines are VERY over square for a diesel, around 1.2 bore/stroke ratio. That along with their high compression lets them make decent power at higher revs. Some performance diesels can make peak power around 5k and rev even higher yet. There's a de-stroked duramax drag truck that revs to 8k
Y’all need to talk to fearlessfront look him up on you tube I bet he knows something about them engines
It’s called a rain cap 😂 “tractor flap”. You guys are the shit!!
Quote of the vide 5:25... still gonna send it lol. Great video as always guys. Love the torque that little thing makes. Be cool for a tractor pull build lol
You need to weld a Caster wheel to your back bumper
You should put it on a different go cart that doesn’t just do wheelies and put a turbo on the diesel motor
Right on .....a stack with a flapper finally .....epic
It would be awesome if you guys built a new bigger truck the size of the cross cart and put a bigger diesel in it and piped it out of the back! I’d love to see it!!
These engines are easy to turbo charge.. Just sayin... 😉
420cc drift trike says he could give his turbo up for testing purposes
This motor absolutely needs to go into the monster cart!
That second gen Camaro in the background🔥🔥
That Kaiser m715 in the background too
Needs some suitcase weights on the front. That kart is awesome guys. Keep it up!
