CHECK OUT OUR INSTAGRAM! https://instagram.com/build.break.repeat?igshid=ulwwhmio96an One of our most popular builds has returned! The Rotary shifter kart (powered by a Hercules W2000 wankel motor) had been in storage since the last video we did with it of hitting the top speed. The clutch had failed at the end of the video due to the clutch pushrod welding itself to the ball bearings and eating through the lever arm. We had found a hydraulic clutch on ebay for a Harley that had the same size diameter for the pushrod, and it ended up working better than we expected! We also changed the gearing to get us some better top speed! Thanks for watching, stay safe and stay tuned for the next video! **Be sure to check your local laws before driving any non-registered motorized vehicle. Do not attempt these activities at home.

This rotary go kart is powered by a 1975 Hercules W2000 motorcycle and is a complete monster for this small go kart frame! In order to get this thing running and driving again we had to remake an exhaust system using a cheaper amazon muffler, we also needed to weld up a system to keep tension in the chain. This kart is also rocking the 787b Renown livery of the 1991 Le Mans car. While it doesn't seem like much, it took us hours to get everything up to spec. After it was ready to go, we took it out to some abandoned roads and really let it get up to top speed! This go cart hit a top speed of 80mph and it was absolutely crazy to go that fast so close to the ground! Thanks for watching and be sure to stay tuned for some more ripping this thing!

***DG Aluminum Silencer - http://www.dgperformance.com/motorcycle-exhaust.php?pyID=831 ** Today the rotary rips for the first time! This rotary go kart is powered by a 1975 Hercules W2000 motorcycle and is a complete monster for this small go kart frame! In order to get this thing driving we needed to add some more bracing and fabricate a custom exhaust for it. While it doesn't seem like much, it took us hours to get everything working properly and doing its job. With this, we took it to a really cool spot and we were able to properly thrash on the go kart and burn some fuel and rubber!

Rotary Shifter Go Kart build starts now! In this video we rebuild our ultra rare 1975 KC27 rotary motor found in the Hercules W2000 Motorcycle. This is a 5 speed 294cc rotary motor with close to 30 bhp. In order to get it running, we had to completely disassemble the motor and take apart the entire rotor assembly to rebuild the rotary motor. This rotary go cart uses an engine similar to the artic cat 303cc rotary snow mobile so we think that we are going to be able to buy side seals from that to get this thing running. This is going to be one cool shifter go kart build! When rebuilding this Sach's Wankel motor for this shifter kart we had to soak it in Metal Rescue for a few days as well as break out all of the embedded side seals. After the rotor was disassembled we put in some brand new OEM Sachs side seals and then installed the rotor into the housing and torqued down the casing. The rebuild seems to have gone super good! Stay tuned for the next video of this thing where we get this thing running!
