I’m very new to the go kart world but quickly learning more than I thought that I ever would. With that said Im having a real struggle with what appears to be a comet 40 series torque converter in a Manco 710. I had the go kart lifted off of the ground and the torque converter seemed to work nicely. However when I sat down to ride it would only go 2 feet before the belt jammed in the driven pulley. Both pulleys have been taken apart and cleaned. The driver looked almost brand new so it was lubed with dry lube and reassembled. The driven pulley seems to look ok all be it I’m not entirely sure what Im looking for. The base of the pulleys were lined up perfectly which caused the alignment of the belt to be off so I opted to keep the belt centered in the pulleys as opposed to the base of the pulleys being perfectly in line with each other. My questions are…. Do I have the driven pulley on backwards because Ive head some yes and no’s on how its installed. Second is the drive belt on the 40 series tapered on both sides? Any help would be appreciated because there is a wealth of knowledge on here. The pictures are from the rear and top looking down respectively.
