Torque Converter Help

[propain37]

So I have a 30 Series Torque Converter from OMB. The problem is that the torque converter is not reaching its final gear ration. It gets about 1/4 their then stops. I don’t know how I can adjust this. Please help me out. I want to go faster.

What is your gear ratio and rear tire size.

 

[propain37]

12 tooth on torque converter and 56 on axle. 15 inch tires

Ok, that seems fine, maybe could go a tad higher, but seems reasonable for a TAV.

Make sure the TAV is clean inside and lubricated properly. Check to make sure the back pulley is can move in and out. Also, are you using the correct belt?

 

[propain37]

Yeah, I’m using the belt that came with the torque converter. Also governor has not been removed.

I disagree!

For all I know we talk a small (as in gx140)engine here and a above average weight kart.

So no.. its "FAR OFF".. a 72T axle sprocket is more like what propain needs.
(at best [guts best] he could get waway with 65'ish teeth...)
but in order to know we need total weight (kart with all passengers seated)
and exact engine power (max torque if known)
