This week I tried converting a lawnmower for racing. It didn't quite go to plan. Building a racing lawnmower is, in theory, quite straight forward. However, in practice preparing an old rusty lawnmower for a 40 lap race has it's pitfalls.

Yay Today i learned what lawn mowers on crack look like :D edit: Like if yo agree
You should do gun spinning by that I mean a fake revolver my recommendation is denix peacemaker revolver spins really good if you want a challenge try denix scochfield revolver the goal of the episode would be to spin the gun for one minute there are multiple different forms of gun spinning like forward and backward spinning there are some pretty good videos on LVworld showing you how to spin a revolver if that’s too easy you should try spinning it then passing it to your other hand and spinning it for a minute just hope you do it I think it will be cool PS Kevin oh yeah the gun is 59.99 usd you can get it at replica weaponry Jus go to replica weapons then Wild West weapons and there are multiple different designs and barrel length the barrel length matters allot because you don’t wanna hit your arm so I’d measure the length of you arm from your index finger to your shoulder then get a peacemaker that has a barrel half that size agian PS Kevin
Bud you over paid for that hunk of junk! Most I’ve ever paid for a mower is $50! Lol
He should have straight piped it. It would have been more free and it would go faster. It might even have ran better because it's getting more air
mower strip shop

Says I’m going to take off the parts that don’t matter takes of the wheels 🧐
this whole video just *feels* midwestern
Only just on my recommended
Racing mowers here in North America are a little more advanced. Basically, they're mowers crossed with go-karts here. The top level mowers use V twin engines and many of them make more than 100hp. Lower level mowers use pretty much the same chassis usually, just with less power. They do all start as lawnmower chassis, but they get modified heavily.
9:46 i know i'm not the only one that saw the flame
imagine putting a turbocharger on one of these beasts
"Im taking everything unnecessary off" proceeds to drain oil. Im getting abs from laughing.
Wait u can race lawnmowers😂😂
Me and my moms brothers son built a pulling mower when I was 10 years old and he was 8 years old and it had no starter so we used a rope and a pulley we made to start it
"so we ductaped the switches down"...
You really have good videos
Great job on the video👍🏻
Nice
2:21 I am speed
Me if I had a lawn mower
Yøu right
I mod mine where they only top out about 18 mph but still retain the ability to slow down and mow.
Seems like they quit being lawnmowers when they lost their ability to cut grass.
All he needed to do is do a pully swap and bend the governor and thats it
Dont you mile my words
It’s in mine lol
Anyone else here in 2020
Đăng Huy Bùi yep u were right
Top gear vibes
Just me who's pissed they don't start with a grass track?
Honda Civic
Looks like the donut operator of the UK
This is the most dad thing I have ever seen .
He put to much oil in it 😂
You should try learning how to cut your lawn with a scythe!
You should learn how to auto race (club level)
Imagine how many stories this man can tell his grandchildren damn..
15 or 50
The guy who put a Chevy Big Block on a lawnmower: Pathetic
Beautifully done LVworld glad I could be recommended this.
Nope that’s is straight up awesome
"remove everything we dont need" *Takes off front wheels amd engine*
No matter what this guy does he looks professional
I can imagine going to my local go-kart track with this, I wonder if they’d allow it
Get rid of the governor and oil sensor and put a 22mm Mikuni carburetor
.
His first mistake was pulling out the wiring harness, which most likely cause the engine stalling, becuase of the safety sensor under the seat, that’s why it was falling when you hit a numb, it’s becuase you messed up the sensor causing every little bump to set it off.
I feel like this is over-complicating things all you really need to do to go fast is a pulley swap and mowing deck delete.
What kind of lawnmower jas 12.5 hp my grandma's has 17.8
Is this sport kind of like packing gun powder in an anvil and seeing how high it goes?
The front end os pretty nesasaery
your wifes soo scared

If it don't go paint it
This is the video that made want to build one too
Bottas qualifying in a nutshell [Austria ]
If you think about it its quite sad that a gopro cost more than lawnmower. 1:37
I’m surprised he didn’t power wash the mower first
that mower has a bad starter
We have the same last name boyd

Go to 9:45 and Murray's engine catches on fire
Imagine how fast you could cut the grass if you were going 50 mph
Bloody hell mate such a dreamy video
#1 on my recommendations after 11 months
This was in my recomadations
I thought it just took changing the gearing to make it fast but you tore it apart
American dads have joined the chat
If you were in the states, someone would have paid top dollar for that. Idk what is going on but "vintage mowers" over here are taking off like a rocket. Basically if the mower is all metal. Its worth money lol
i can strip a mower to the frame in 2 hours
Well, that's one new thing in my bucket list.. 😂
carb could be full of water every bump it floods out ... you only need 3 wires to run it unless your carb is newer then 4 wires ,,, don't know if he had engine upside down ,, flywheel key could be damaged dirty spark plug ,,
