    Need Help! Comet 40 Torque Converter

    No it's not running, it is tight in this picture but not so tight that it creeps forward at idle speed. I also tried it loose and all positions in between. I don't think it's on backwards, I took pics of a kenbar gokart and this is how it was set up on it.

    Need Help! Comet 40 Torque Converter

    I've read that! And I'm thinking I need a stiffer spring but it don't tell you which color spring has the most tension. Mine only has one hole. I will look at it closer tomorrow in the day light to see if the spring is actually in the hole.

    First time builder questions

    It's going to have a 40 series torque converter on it, that's the reason for the jackshaft. That brings up another question, where do you get a cover for the 40 series? Or do you have to make your own?

    Oh, thought I would add that I weigh about 210# and will have my son with me who is about 100#. So I will need some good pulling power too, not just wanting high top end speeds. Thanks

    First time builder questions

    Ok I bought 18" tires for the back and 16" for the front. Playing with the numbers I see that a 1:6 ratio could be set up several different ways. Would 72 and 12 or 60 and 10 be better or would you suggest something totally different. Remembering this is for off road,\.
