Good morning
My daughter and I are restoring her first go kart and I have some questions concerning the settings on the converter. In the pics it has 3 adjustments for the spring placement. Currently it is in the spot between lo and high. When I engage the clutch by hand, the contact area between the teeth/cogs is minimal, like 1/8" or maybe 3/16ths at best. It seems to me you would want more contact area so you are less likely to chip or break one of the teeth. Is this normal ? We are taking it apart today to clean and inspect and I'm going to see about changing that distance between the sheaves. I'm assuming the adjustment on the spring is just tension...any insight would be helpful...thanks for your time
