7:55 lol the air filter mesh was painted over
This looks like an awful idea, i want one!!!
Give Mustie a broken anything and He will Fix it or fix it or fix so it will never get fixed. Gday from Downunder
OK I say weld the rear axle, get a horizonal shaft 5 horse motor and make it a real "Ricky Racer" Centrifugal clutch, real disk break on the rear axle and let it rip!
Set screw not needed anymore. I’m pretty sure you Cold welded that thing in there.
Is there another video with the Airboat motor on it? Would love to see it.
Uh oh wobble on that crank after ya hit it
SO prefer when you are banging on old random stuff over the fancy cars. Keep doing what you do.

Before I watch predictions, 😂 He will tinker with fan set up lol
That engine makes me think of long hair getting caught in that spinney part. 😦
Sounds like a angry weed eater I would try putting a better or big motor on it or mod it a little
A DEVELOPMENT LIKE THE BEVERLY HILLS IN CALIFORNIA WAS BEINGG BUILDED IN MEXICO AND MY BROTHER AND I HAD NO MONEY FOR A GO-CART BUT WE FOUND THE FRAME OF ONNE SO WE CARRIED IN THE TRUNK THE GO CART UP HILL AND WE HAD TO LEAVE TWO CANS OF OIL WITH WATER ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DEVELOPMENT TO COOL THE BEARINGS OF THE GO CARTR WHEN ONE OF US RUN DOWN HILL WITH NO MOTOR…FUN ALL THE WAY DOUN !! LOVE YOUR PROGRAMINGS.
Should be a point gap stamped somewhere. They used to care about what they built.
Not one person said anything about the belts, I’m sure mustie knows but the green are fractional horsepower belts used on electric motors, the others are automotive belts . There is a huge diff between the 2. Don’t use fraction horsepower belts on your builds unless your using electric motors. ( except snowblowers use them for some reason)
You live in a pretty area !
Watching on 1.5 speed that little 2-stroke sounded pretty funny
Darren another fabulous 👌 video.
Did you make a video on this because I’m almost 1,000,000% sure I saw this a few years ago they go kart powered by fan that had metal skis to run on the lake
Hopefully kids in the 50's had a good supply of v-belts. I always liked the straight-6 engines much better than a v-6. And better yet a straight-8.
sure was not much speed. LOL…..that is probably why they put the fan on the top to give it some boost.
Hello Mustie1, Always love your videos! Go have a coffee and sandwich on me!
Thanks!
How does traction work with those wheels?? They are soap box wheels/wagon wheels with bearings in their hub.
People pull out in front of Prius's too. Then I pass them when we get to a 2 lane section. 🙄
