Really?
again ill advise Spindle??
So a TAV2 kit (Series 30 TC with cast backplate) is capable of handling 8hp by design..
and more than a handfull of users around here have that installed on a 10+ hp modded 200cc engine..
So less than seven is just plain WRONG!
Sure a series 40 would be much better (much less belt wear)
BUT... and here's the point.. most if not all series 30 and 40 TCs you find on ebay are chinese clones.
THOSE can be found in china as well (alibaba and alike)
for much less than what they're advertised on ebay at times.. and often times (almost ALL the time) for much much less shipping than from the US
IDK you import taxes... but very likely they're much less than 100%, right?
So even if the Series 40 on alibaba costs around USD 70 shipped.. that'd be 140 at your door..

(see single kit both pulleys... no belt... 55USD max plus shipping)
You'll have a hard time justifying a series 30 with that price IMHO
Anyways.. still a series 30 will work nearly perfectly fine.
you'll eat through belts nearly twice as fast though (20 per belt... still not a cheap option) but other than that,
it'll work if you don't try too hard to kill it (insanely bad gear ratio or climbing the kiliman)
13hp is about the limit though.. if you mod your engine, you'll likely be able to effictively bend the backplate at one point.
