We Swapped a 25HP Racing Engine on a Derelict Yard Kart

by



We install a big valve 225cc Tillotson racing engine on a Manco Dingo yard kart! This Manco Dingo IX is the bigger of the two Dingos made, and this one has a Honda GX240 installed. The Dingo is in poor condition- the engine plate is cut up, the GX240 doesn’t fit properly on the frame, the frame is bent meaning the kart doesn’t turn properly, it doesn’t have brakes, and one of the font wheels has no wheel bearings! So, installing a racing Tillotson 225cc engine required a lot of modification to the chassis.

Thanks for Watching!

  18. There’s 3 things wrong that u did. That was a symetrical driven and an a symetrical driver. Even if the driven wasn’t the wrong thing you could’ve reversed it to where the springs would face away from the motor, and finally u didn’t have to flip the axle, you could’ve just taken one of the bearings off of the frame, and then slide the sprocket on the axle to line it up. But if you did that and was able to keep the stock plate and torque converter, the jackshaft sprocket would’ve been on the wrong side but u could swap that by taking the nut off of that side. I love y’all’s videos, and I like y’all’s creative rigging but that was really a noob move, even after all those years I figured y’all would’ve worked with what y’all had instead of replacing everything, but that’s just me because I don’t like to replace something that isn’t broken. It also saves time and gets you riding sooner

  20. Go power sports would love to take 3-400% more of your money than the same chinesium stuff you can buy on Amazon. If you’re these guys getting it all for free then more power to them.
