The torque converter consists of two parts, the drive an driven. The drive attaches to the shaft of the engine, the driven is most likely mounted on the jackshaft. The main thing is the output shaft of you current engine needs to be the same diameter as the new engine (1/2", 3/4"), and you...

I don't know if a bicycle generator would handle the load of the lights or the rpm that the tire would spin. Maybe look into putting a small battery on it with an external charger that you could use to charge the battery when necessary. Kinda the way I'm thinking I will go with mine.

I think the idea of this thread was a good one, although I also agree about no altering of the flywheel. But the overall idea is a good one with some potential, perhaps in need of some changes

would you mind posting pics if you have some of the finished head?? i am about to undertake the same thing, so if you have any advice or anything.... i am listening, lol

Here is a different way, I reversed the way the master sits so rather than pushing with the rod, it pulls.

Nice build, awesome finished product. How was the upper shelf attached to the wall? Seems like it's floating.

http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=150916942951 I just purchased this setup. The frame I purchase was equipped with hydraulic brakes already so it had a brake rotor, but kits can be purchased that have a rotor than can be found also. Cheapest way to go to, kits with the rotor...

Seem like they would work with appropriate harness bar to bolt the harness to. I say get them an let us know how they work out cause I am interested in putting a set on my kart also:thumbsup:

The Gtc unit is a jackshaft and torque converter all in one (torque-a-verter or tav) . The picture doesn't show but on the backside of the assembly is a sprocket, I believe you can choose chain pitch an tooth count upon purchase. The only problem I see is possibly lining up the sprocket on the...

So I just bought a new to me comet 40 drive and driven clutch, just the clutches. Is there any other hardware that I will need to get these installed? There were also 3 washers or spacers in the engine facing side of the drive clutch, what are these for? I have never used or installed either of...

Welcome! What side of Houston are you located?

Pm'd about stuff, hopefully dibs on clutch

Just cause I know it will need to be covered, go ahead and count the teeth on the sprocket on the clutch and also on the sprocket on the axle. Also it wouldn't hurt to post overall Tire height and engine hp

ive been to a few burnout contests, not as crazy as the ones in the vid you posted. yes i guess we americans dont burn rubber like they do in australia, that was pretty radical, lol. kinda an unfair contest tho, the aussies using fully blown drag cars in a barricaded atmosphere, the american...

It's a roketa gk-17, I believe. If it runs I would say it's a good deal, I wouldn't mind picking it up if you don't..... :)
