Manco 606

[dave1970]

I'm currently working on a Manco 606 express, the torque converter came apart, and in trying to remove the nut holding it on to the shaft, the threads were damaged to the point where the shaft needs replacing.
Anyone know of a good parts upplier for this machine?
I can post pics of the shaft and kart if needed.
Thank You

There are many ways to repair threads...

Without knowing what engine or your location, how can we suggest anything?

hehe..
read that twice... maybe I'm missing something, but what shaft are you talking about?

PTO (engine crankshaft, where the driver is mounted to)), Jackshaft (the shaft the driven is mounted to)
driver slip-shaft (the hollow shaft that's welded to the fixed sheave of the driver [in case of a series 40])
driven slip shaft (hollow shaft welded to the driven fixed sheave)
?

Or short:

I'm new to repairing karts, trying to help a friend out with his.
These are the pics of the kart, and the shaft which goes through the torque converter ,on a robin 8.0hp engine. I had to cut off the nut which was just spinning on the damaged thread section.

looks like it's the jackshaft you need to replace

a tad too close to be sure

Aanyways.. I'd guess Jackshaft..
so that's a 5/8" OD, 10.812" long jackshaft Manco #2777
available for example at gopowersports
or gokartsrus
or ebay or amazon etc. pp.

When reassembling the driven unit, make sure to preload the spring correctly, otherwise the Torque converter won't work properly!
