max torque tc

[MisterRoboto]

got this old maxtorque tc and im thinking its missing the springs? i had tryed to look to see if i could find replacement part online but the pics i found of the torque didnt show the springs so i wasnt sure if this kind needed them or not

if this piece is indeed missing does anyone have a clear pic of one that i can send the kid i got it from to look for it?
also i guess a site that sells replacements if it comes to that?
thanks guys

 

[B man]

i have the same one. your missing the weight pack.

 

[MisterRoboto]

**** it... lol guess its all my own fault but i have the best ability to learn the hard weigh anyway any place that sells them or would you happen to have a pic of your weight pack i could send to the kid to hopefully get it?
thanks

here ya go, http://www.bmikarts.com/item/Driver-Weight-Assembly-453001-6527

And that thing needs some TLC big time. remove the rust. take some sand paper to it. make sure the driven spring still good. and get a new belt here. http://www.bmikarts.com/item/MXT97-Max-Torque-Converter-Belt-Misprinted---203793-7354

remember never lube the clutch. and make sure both the inside and the outside is rust free. don't fr get to also clean any rust off the driven. And your driven probably needs new buttons,but they don't make parts for that model of max-torque. you can send it in and they can fix it for you though.

any more info needed?

If you decide to replace the entire driver unit we carry the complete driver. PM me for price.

You've got series 20's in stock still??

Anyway. If your cam buttons are damaged on the driven clutch they actually don't produce that series anymore. Your whole process might be cheaper to purchase an assembly at this part if you price shop online and on ebay you might come up with some great.

Mine was in similar shape. I sand blasted it and get it all cleaned up. It was well worth the elbow grease and effort. I promise you that these are the same piece lol!

Before we plug our business here, let's try to help another karter out and save him some $$$ if possible, here at DIY GK.

Blaz owns a shop of his own as well.

We mentioned the springs... IF he wants to save money and do it hisself...im all for that..
I offered my help. Up to him which direction he wants to go not ours.
Blaz mentioned "driven clutch they actually don't produce that series anymore."

I realize what blaz posted out of respect to blaz.
But just cause they dont actually produce something does not mean that someone does not carry it.
If I did not carry a hard to find part (as he says the driven clutch is not produced in that series anymore..his words not mine) then why would have I mentioned it as an option before Blaz said anything at all about said part(s) ?
Not hear to get in a debate with anyone. Be helpful however that may be.. With advice...scratching someones back, selling a part, giving away parts...what have you.

 

[MisterRoboto]

alright well im tryin to get the pieces i have cleaned up...

are these the buttons and if so how do they look?

also what series did you think this was a 20 or 30, or did they only have one series when this was made?
and is it safe to take the driven unit apart so i can get inside to sand/wheel it?

 

[B man]

yeah pretty worn. Hey blaz could you get a pair of comet buttons and cut them to work?

 

[Blazkowiez]

You take the newstyle MaxTorque buttons and exaco knife them to fit. The newer style goes over both sides but you really can make the new ones work in the older driven clutches.

 

[MisterRoboto]

good news for once thank you guys. would the comet ones work then or no? they are cheaper and i am unfortunately low on funds so if im gonna have to modify them anyway i figured id ask. also do you know of any other places to buy them aside from gokartsupply.com?

 

[karl]

remember never lube the clutch.

If you want go have binding steel and excessive wear, go for it. Ill stick to lubing with
anti-seize. My clutches will barely shift without lube.

 

[Blazkowiez]

Lube is fine, it just must be DRY. The Comet buttons won't work. Shop around, you should be able to find a set of 3 MaxTorque buttons for under 15 dollars.

ok... sorry for constantly having more questions but any tips for searching keywords? could only find the one site that sold them... should i just watch ebay

edit: found another site with them for 15+shipping so thats good...

if the kid i got it from didnt have the weight pack in when he got it would it even move? and if so would it be all low end then?

[Blazkowiez]

Just go through the list of vendor sites one by one and look through their clutch sections, torque converter section, torque converter parts section.

 

[MisterRoboto]

so i got some buttons im gonna cut to fit and got a new weight pack and while i was at it i got a new driven spring and i was curious if there is a specific way it goes in there?

edit: also might as well ask any tips for trimming up the new buttons? figure ill use the older ones side by side, but dont wanna mess it up as im good at that
