Better. You don't really need that extra collar between there though. (unless there isn't enough clearance?)

 

[bajagokart]

the reason its there is to space it so the belt is straight. the way my engine mount is and how big the driver is if i dont have the extra collar in there the belt will be like a centimetre off

Gha I'm so jealous of you right now, I've been trying to get my Yerf-dog 3202 with the same configuration in what seems like forever. It's harder then ever with comet folding and all but Ohh well.

Congrats man, Congrats

Hi, looks very good! What are these blue things called, that you use for converting?

 

[bajagokart]

They are called pillow block bearings! Just get 2 for your jackshaft whatever size it is and you will be good to go! Thanks for the positive feedback!

Your jackshaft will bend I would add some pipe on the outside of it were it is bare metal between the torque converter and the bearing

We've already been over this. Look up a couple posts and you can see he moved the bearing up against the driven already.

ya i should delete that picture its not what it looks like now!

 

[bajagokart]

i got a 13hp electric start for 299 lol

I was actually wondering how your baja project was coming! I'm glad to see you had some pretty good success with the torque converter clutch setup! I think you'll have way more fun with it! Looks good too!

heres some pictures of my straight pipe! i know, yes the welding job is beyond horrible but i forgot to turn the gas on and i wanst about to start over so w/e its solid that it wont fall off and it has a great sound so thats all i care about!

 

[Cdrew11]

Looks great, How's the drive belt fairing out?

 

[bajagokart]

Thanks! Um the belt starts to sqeak pretty good when I push the engine really hard actually! Idk why the belt is perfectly aligned and at it's set distance of 12 and 5/8" so ya maybe my engagement on my driver is to low but it works good other than that!

I surprised you could even get it to hold w/o gas.
