Absolutely that would not work, redflash. The 30 series uses an asymmetric belt, the 40 series a V-belt, can't run both from the same belt.drive clutch from a 30 matched to a driven of a 40 ?
I heard that it was a bit between 10 to 20 % power loss, not that I fully believe the 20% part.Read a number somewhere that gave a fairly decisive % of the power loss you could expect from a TC after going through the belt, the self-adjustment of the pulleys, changing belt tension and possibly some misalignment with it, etc. Anybody know what that number is?
That sounds really correct to me, at least as far as my burnt-out memory can recall. Definitely 10% for the minimum number, then maybe 15-20% ? Good call on that, GreyW00lf. Oh, BTW: Remember a thing called "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?"? Or maybe can never forget it?I heard that it was a bit between 10 to 20 % power loss, not that I fully believe the 20% part.
Not to De-Rail this thread, I've heard about that, but haven't heard about it in a long time... Back to the topic at handOh, BTW: Remember a thing called "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?"? Or maybe can never forget it?

So long that the movie poster I can recall seeing at the State Theatre on Monroe St. in the "60's was in black and white.haven't heard about it in a long time
Thinking about the expensive centrifugal clutches (Bully, etc.) folks put on karts for higher stall speeds etc. Anybody have a thought on what changing the garter springs on a TC driver clutch to a much higher engagement rpm would do for the 2 TC's mounted in series like proposed? Like for reducing belt slip loss on that one, and maybe also do same to secondary one?Back to the topic at hand
Well build it then and prove us wrong. Maybe you are seeing something we can’t or have a better idea. I won’t knock you for trying.The thought was small h.p.engine using "modified" 30 series as transmission for said engine.....max it out on jackshaft that is turning driver for "modified" 40 series.
40 series engagement set for maxxed 30 series. 40 series to axle.
Thought of a 2 speed torque converter. If both can be transmission individually then why can't one power the other.
