Manco XTK 13hp revival

[thundachicken]

Finally got motivated to get this thing done. Got lucky with a discontinued 13hp HF engine, 40 series Comet & fabbed up a mount for it all. Seems to work well, just working out details.

Jackshaft has a 10t, 40/41 sprocket, axle has 60t sprocket. Chain is 40.


Need better brakes! The original cable actuated brake isn't cutting it.

Need to disable the low oil sensor!

Chain slipped off the sprocket once, other than tightening it, maybe an idler?

Need more low end Uumph! Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the top end, but I do like sudden acceleration. :arf:

You should have plenty of torque with your setup, but if you want more acceleration, before changing gear ratios I would adjust the spring tension on the driven. You can make it tighter by putting the spring in another hole, which keeps the driven in high ratio longer.

Can I do that with a 40? I know it's done with the 30 series, but did not see the adjustment holes for the 40 series.

Look for the 3 holes in the driven outer cam. I think I can see them in one of the pictures above.
