Finally driving the 2 stroke kx250 Shifter Kart!! (It's Insane)
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 20. 08. 2024
- I finally test drive my homemade 2 stroke kx 250 shifter kart for the first time. It was Insane! Unfortunately we ran into an unexpected problem at the end.
My estimated power output for this build is around 40 at the wheels. My ultimate goal is to be able to take on V8's at the dragstrip and have a higher revving engine than stock!

Last year it was the 50 mph cart. This year its the 50hp cart!!! Great videos and builds!
haha thank you thats true!!
Put some kind of muffler on it. Twostrokes benefit from the backpressure it creates.
Also, try not to engine brake too much. The piston and cylinder only get lubrication on power strokes. When you engine brake the carb only feeds the engine with enough gas/oil to idle.
plep every stroke on a 2t is a power stroke....
@@yeetskeetledeet8184the downstroke is the power stroke. It doesn't produce any power on the upstroke, does it?
plep sarcasm pal, was making a joke implying that 2tâs are always making power đ
@@yeetskeetledeet8184 Kinda hard to convey over text but, ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
plep haha I feel that
Dude thatâs awesome great job on the build đ
Thanks alot brother! Ill have to let you rip it!
Vasily Custom Builds we should do a race, my YZ85 shifter VS your shifter.
@@ratherBweldingChris yes, race
That would be sick! I think I will be able to finish it mid april
Cant wait to see that! My two favorite channels doing a collab.
as a metal fabricator / welder by trade and avid kart enthusiast ... I would like to compliment you on that chassis design , looks real GOOD . I'm using a kawasaki 250 ninja motor on mine
Joe Jones , what 250 did you use ? , what "issues" did you have ? have not had mine out for real testing yet . shop has been REAL busy & lack a good place to test-n-tune .
@@joejones2847 How in the world did you complicate things as bad as you did on something that's so easy to work on with merely the basics of understanding?
5:59 Lets get this thing inside and ill talk some news a- brapbrabrabraBRAAAAAAAP!

Funny!
I subscribed like two months ago just for this vid. Keep up the good work.
Same man
Same, too! :-)
Same
I clicked as soon as I got the notification. Good work that thing looks like it's fun af. I cant wait to start working on mine.
Well, that looks every bit as terrifying as I expected it to be. You have built one of the most bad ass street karts off a garage floor I've ever seen. Going to need to find some place big for real testing.
Get a lectron carb for it!!đit works so much better than a stock carb and you donât have to jet it
One of the best karts Iâve seen on CZcams thatâs crazy
A few comments,
1. First of all, your video style is one of the best I have seen, I really like the show external view followed up by helmet cam. đ
2. The NEIGHBORS WILL NOT UNDERSTAND đ. You are experiencing what is called âfabricators delusionâ. We have all been there, yours is a text book case... âsince I have spent months on this, itâs ok to test without a mufflerâ. It is normally treated by âhome health careâ. Showing up in police cars đđ
3. Check your external shift linkage for binding, disconnect external linkage and try shifting gears manually.
4. Shifting problem may be divine intervention, there may be a guardian angel keeping it from shifting to higher gears. đđ. Get it out on a short dirt track, 30mph is pretty fast when you are completely sideways throwing a rooster tail.
5. Keep up the good work, I will be following for updates. If you add music to the videos, I will delete you and come and fix the shifter myself đĄđĄđđđ. Any engine is all the music I need!
Be blessed, keep up the great work!
haha that was funny thank you sir!
This is the ultimate garage build you win
I'm telling ya for your age your work is quality. I'm a former 20 plus year industrial welder/industrial mechanic. I got sick and had to stop. So it's a lot coming from me.
Can't wait to see it with all the panels you made and the wing, Love it love it love it...
you deserve way more subs this quality is too high to match that sub count should equal over 500k
Excellent work! You would be welcome in my shop any day.
Everybody gangsta till the powerband kick in
Liked before watching the video.
Great job bro!!!!
You have cooler ideas that you execute better than most similar channels with even more people and experience and a more equipped shop. Good work.
Nick DiFilippo he should have a future in fab and design.
i think you are the type of guy that enjoy more the prosses of building it , than to actually ride it hehe :) nice work
Excellent job youngster. Keep up the good work, and that attitude you have... will open doors where there were none.
2 STROKE POWER
Get either some black or braided hoses for the cooling, flip the radiators around and run the crossover hoses up and around the roll bar loop. Then run the other 2 hoses down the roll bars, this should clean up the look quite a bit! Mount the ignition box to the back of the seat. Maybe get a fuel tank that fits under the steering column but then you would need some type of fuel pump. Bend the input of a dirt bike muffler and run it sideways. If you want to get crazy, build some linkage off of the kick starter and run it up front so you can kick it while seated.
I'm super impressed. CZcams recommended this video and didn't disappoint. I plan on watching what led you here
That's awesome! I hope it recommends more of my videos out to people I really try hard to make good videos!
Well done from an old guy that wanted to build one back in 1978 with a yz250 that I bent the frame on ! You got me thinking and maybe Iâll build one for the grand kids with a bit less hp ?
Keep it going!
If u weâre doing it for kids you could take a 4 stroke motor off a wrecked streetbike cuz itâd be able to take a lot more beating on and last longer
Awesome Job Man!!! You are Going Places Bud, this inspires me to try to make one for my kid!! Thank you for the video.
Lol âbout time! Things awesome
Very cool, a little bit of final sorting & fine tuning, & Bob's ya Aunty!! Good job.
You need to put a muffler on that. You'll find you'll gain extra power just putting a muffler on it. Also the carby needs tuning. Carby leaking means gaskets need replacing or float inlet pin is stuck.
Yeah, it's kind of counterintuitive the way 2 cycles like a bit of back pressure.
Pipe has plenty backpressure.....silencer is optional but need to tune for it if not using it. Jetting is critical
Super pumped that you got it running that thing rips.
First off, nive work!!! I subscribed as soon as I saw you welding that nice frame several weeks ago. For the leaking float bowl, the carb might be overflowing a little. The fuel tank might be a little high, causing too much fuel pressure, but there are other things you can check first. Remove the float and give it a shake & listen. Make sure it does not have liquid inside it. If you hear anything inside, replace it. Check the float inlet needle, it should have a rubber cone shaped tip. Make sure there is not a circular "ring" worn into the rubber. If so, replace the inlet needle. Finally, you can clean & polish the brass inlet "seat" by using some q-tips and some mother's aluminum polish. I chuck q-tips into a drill and spin-polish the seats. Make sure the brass seat is clean, with no corrosion or pitting. You can make it look like gold but dont over do it, lol. Finally you can check and adjust your float height, may need to lower your float by bending the tab...this effectively causes the fuel level to be a little lower in the bowl. Doing all this will help keep your carb from overflowing. Good luck !
ok this is very helpful thank you!
I think the radiator hose system look fuqin sick!!
foreeal? haha
yes totally!! dont know why you complain dude...
He should bring it to the doctor then
Vasily Custom Builds you know I mentioned the radiator hoses above but you could do them with some hard line copper or stainless would look badass
Sebastian Lootus because heâs a perfectionist and the lines arenât straight or symmetrical so it looks half ass to him.
Hell ya bro, this video got me thinking about putting a 2 stroke on my gas powered grandpa chair. Maybe I should make some videos of it. Anyways good work bro, get that gear issue worked out, can't wait.
Would love that and your gramps
Yeeeey finally!
If you go on pc website, they have jetting specs listed for their pipes. Saves a lot of time.
Hell yeah!! She is alive an ripping!! Really good job young man. A little repairs here n there n she will be evil as hell!!
Love when you said my neighbors are probably mad, then BRAAAAAAAPPPPP!!!
if you really can't go past second gear you probably screwed something up putting the engine back together :d... Btw, Sounds awesome! (I just love 2 strokes haha).
And please, Let the piston and cylinder get run in first before you go crazy haha! Nice job tho!
A two stroke doesnât really have a break in period. Itâs not like a sport bike theyâre high revving is the only way to ride one. Since the oil is in the gas if itâs running itâs oiling
@@joejones2847 Don't talk if you don't know what you are talking about
@@thatmotoguy7505 lmao. He's crazy. You cant just put a new piston and rings in and gas it. Or new ones will be going in in 5 hours. Lol
Haha I ran it through a heat cycle
@@VasilyBuilds not you. Lol the other comment. Lmao. Sweet build tho
Great build that thing is awesome I have a new build planned but not this cool or fast keep up the great work
Looks good. Mine has a Suzuki 185. I used 8 in. Utility tires on front and atv tires on back. Used a freon canister for fuel. Not built for track but it is a lot of fun.
The beast is out of itâs cage âŒïžđ±đ„đ„
đ€đŒđ€đŒ
I'm sure your neighbors love you and your beautiful yard! =)
Love it Vasily..great build..couldn't have came out any better!
That kart is cool as hell!! Keep on building!!
You're insane dude. A lot of people your age dont know how to do half the stuff you do on a regular basis. I loved watching you create this beast and I cant wait for more amazing videos. Keep up the hard work.
Hey Bro, nice build, thats gonna be some fun. And sweet video, thanx for taking the time and effort to let me see it like FPV, straight drivin it almost! Yea, the cockpit view is killer thank you.
Man this thing is awesome!! Best build yet, and your shifting setup appears to work flawlessly aside from the blocked gears. Keep up the awesome work
Yes
I love how big it is. And I wish people would make them like this.
This is a great build. Good way to use an old kx250 engine đ
That go kart is awesome!
It looks like it is crazy fast but that's how we boys like it good luck little bro.
thank you sir!
That powerband kick hard đđ good job
Amazing work Vasily! It payed off!
Wwwwwaaaawww that run seems awesome. Sound of 2stroke . . . loveit
This kid going to go a long way ..
Nice job young man. One of my favorite go kart vids. Years ago I built a crazy kart from a snowmobile engine I got given to me. It came mostly disassembled. I put it together and it ran so I built a frame, added suspension, and I kept the stock clutches/ belt drive. Your karts acceleration reminds me of that machine. It ran a 11.7 second 1/4 mile at 120 mph. Motor was a built 570 Yamaha.
All that hard work paid off well done lad look forward to the next video well done
That really rips holy frig.
If those neighbors have a problem over running that for a short time they can rent my place out for a week to find out what real unwanted noise is like since I live within 200 feet of a 4 lane main road.
haha
Good job buddy I'm really impressed!! People might not understand just how difficult all that was, it isn't something just anyone can achieve so congratulations my friend excellent job!!
Finally budđđ
This thing is great so glad itâs finally done! đđŒđ
Itâs alive!!! Canât wait to see you open it up. Great work.
Holy crap dude! That's insane!! Bit of fine tuning and you're golden! Well doneđđđđđ
One thing you're going to have to do does Birdcage bearings in the rear you're going to have to get a needle greasing tip that you put on grease gun in grease those bearings or else they will seized up. Those are the same style bearings that were on a cage Kart that I built. Other than that good build bud
Your videos are super super awesome. By far my favorite channel
About to start my first 2 stroke kart build canât wait
Great job guy, I watch you from Brazil đđ»đđ»
Well done buddy. I knew you were going to build a riper. Just mint
That go kart is sick! Well done
That was well worth the wait, awesome đđđđ
Next you should do a Banshee or snowmobile motor on a OFF road build!!!!
I have a banshee love them 2 strokes
that would b sick
Nice..Been waiting for this for a while!
You should put a full exhaust on man. It will have a pretty big part in how it lays down it's power. More so the pipe than the silencer, but. Since it's a go kart and go karts usually need to take tight turns, need to stop fast, need to accelerate out of them fast, you know what I mean, I'd say put a short fat pipe on. Unless your going to use it more on a street than a track, then I'd use a pipe with a longer more narrow chamber. That's just me though. But for sure put a silencer on. Yes im sure a lot of people don't, but I've been riding 2 strokes since the early 80's and from it what I've experienced, that's what I'd do.
Well done mate, enjoyed watching the build.
All your hard work is paying off today! You stuck at it , man . Well done. Looks like she handles sharp.
Great job Vasily!
Have fun with it!
I love two-stroke in the morning! Seems maybe a bit twitchy, like maybe front wheels not quite aligned. From my off-road riding, quiet = long happy ride; noisy = cops on case. Your move...
Thats when you know how to race ...
Outrun em and the bird .... lol
The kick kart lol things sick
I have a long style muffle for that pipe and you can use the frame rails to hide that hose. Youâll have to weld it back together in two spots at least but use some pipe with a bigger ID and run hose inside it and mount the Radiator up front in front of your pedals or up underneath a front wing like a sprint car
That thing is seriously sick wow it's cool
Keep killing those builds man!
good job,lad,keep it up,looks good,from bolton,uk.....
I watched this since day 1 nice bro good work..
Itâll be cool if you invite goonsquad to test out your cart itâd break the internet đđ
Yeah that's on my bucket list! I might just pull up to his house in secret
Whoa! This shifter cart is a beast. Looking forward to seeing you fine tune it to the max!
Great job, keep it up!, try looking into the rekluse automatic clutches, you won't have to play with the clutch that much anymore
Thanks! I prefer need manual operation
That's one sick cart.
Dude u fucking did it!!!!. I been watching since day one. Never left a comment but I cant help it.. that thing is stupid fast.. love it
Awesome build cant wait to see the top speed on this kart
Awesome build dude, your frame looks great, much better than mine lol whe just extended the wheel base on a old kart frame and slapped a banshee motor in. When she starts police will come lol, my neighbors hated us!!
Werner Botes you guys all need to move to an area like where I live Iâm 20 miles out of Panama City beach on a dirt road on 40 acres alone. The dirt road is split in half (theoretically) by the county line
Just PEELED OUT!!
Man u did a hell of a good job keep it up. You are a very smart young man with a lot of talent
Thank you
Great job! Awesome build. Canât wait to see more driving time!
It's flippin great man! really diggin it
Put a 90 degree bend and put the muffler side to side. Be cool to plug the end of the muffle and drop two small tubes for dual exhaust.
Sweeeeeeeet! Excellent result and excellent videos! Thanks Vasily!
That great , it looks like its handling really good
awesome man!!
Very nicely done. You are doing awesome.
That thing is INSANE!! Love the build man
Bout time man but the wait well worth it sounds good buddy keep it coming
