I have a Tomberlin Go Kart and a Vector Go Kart.
The torque converter on this Vector Go Kart, I HATE. I wish Comet Industries would have figured out a better way to drive the driven pulley rather than these horrible nylon insert buttons inside the cam. They wear too easily and it sucks to not be able to ride around because you need a nylon button. Could they not have used a material or something else that is more commonly obtainable on a local level?
There isn't a single place in the entire Metro-Jackson area in the state of Mississippi that carries them. Not advanced auto parts, O'reillys, small engine specialists, etc, etc. I even called go kart places and they don't carry them.
It's extremely frustrating that you cannot buy these simple little nylon buttons anywhere locally. And i really don't want to wait a week to receive them.
So my plan .. I want to take the clutch off the Tomberlin go kart and place it on the Vector Go Kart. Obviously the chain is much bigger on my Tomberlin, so I would switch the sprocket.
Does anyone think this would be fairly simple?
I took a few pics. Would this switch also give the vector a forward and reverse because I would obviously take the gear lever off the Tomberlin as well to make it work and switch into gear.
Your help is appreciated! Or any other ideas. i took a picture of the side of the tomberlin go kart and a picture of the vector.
The first two pictures are the Tomberlin - the last picture would be the Vector setup (the one I will be using)
