Hey guys,
Still pretty new around here and tried to do some searching around Google to no avail. I recently swapped a Tecumseh 6.5 out to a predator 212. I took the clutch and everything that was on the shaft of the Tecumseh and put it on the predator. However it's a two piece clutch and if wants to slide apart from the cover. But from my understanding a clutch needs to be able to float on that shaft. What in the **** am I doing wrong

Sorry thought the pics posted. It's a comet clutch. The clutch piece wants to slide out of the housing back on on the shaft toward the engine . It ends up binding up the belt when it does that. What am I missing ?

Ah. Wonderful. Lol . How in the world do I get it to stay together and not slide on the shaft

Also with this being a torque converter I'm shocked I don't have a back plate or the notched washer for the front

Not all TC's come with a backplate. Are you sure you have the bolt in to hold it on the shaft? Here are some pics and websites that will probably help you out. Make sure that the driver and driven line up, and that you have the correct belt for the center to center distance between the driver and driven. With the engine swap, that distance might now have changed. The belt link below will tell you which one you need.

Thanks for this. This helps me explain my problem a but better. I think the belt itself is fine. I'll have to do some measurements this evening. However the moveable face is sliding on the shaft away from the outside drum. I have the drum lined up on the splined shafter properly with the bolt. Maybe I just need to take it all all apart and clean/lubricate it all
