Hey, I have a Briggs and Stratton 3.5 HP engine I need to use on my go kart (competition regulations, sigh). It's a 550 series 127cc engine.It's a race kart. To get a decent top speed without losing out on torque I feel like I need a torque converter. The engine is tiny, I wanted to know if it's a viable option to use a comet TAV on this... Other suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
Comet TAV 2?

Will a TC even fit? What is the crank shaft size? I thought those were 5/8".
A TC uses 3/4" at the smallest I think. Unless you get an adapter.

I'm not too familiar with the inch system but isn't 5/8" about 16 mm? The comet's is a little larger. About 19mm. So I was thinking of installing a sleeve on the shaft to fit it. You're right. The engine has a 5/8. I also found a comet with a 5/8". Do you happen to know any seller who ships to India?
Thanks for the reply!

Hi Abhilash, we're in the same boat. Even I need a CVT for my B&S 550 series engine!
