TAV question

[Jdominique]

I bought a TAV30 from Ebay and like a dummy bought the wrong one. I bought a 1" driver instead of the 3/4" for my Honda GX160. Can I just buy a 3/4" driver and use the rest of the kit?

That would save me so much money and I could probably sell the 1" driver.

Thanks guys,

Jason

Why take the cheaper route and use a jackshaft.

The TAV has a built in 5/8" jackshaft.

Im sayin a sprokect on the engine running to a 1" jackshaft then install the tav on that

It would be much easier to sell the 1" driver and buy a 3/4 driver of the same series. Jackshaft would just overcomplicate things (engine to jackshaft to driver to driven to axle).

Yea but seems cheaper arent they like $300 now?

I got it for $200. Just the driver is the wrong size for the crank. A new driver is $80.

Read my up shaft converter thread. I had a 1" bore on my 11hp, bought a 40 series and converted it over to my 6.5hp.

Interesting read. You'd think someone out there would produce these. They'd probably sell like hotcakes.

Bought the wrong driver or converted it to 1" ?

 

[r_chez_08]

converted to 1", as i have a 40 series.

Hmmm, Comet makes the 44c magnum driver in 3/4". That would solve the conversion problem. I guess finding one would be the real problem.

But the 44 series uses a 7/8" belt, won't fit on anything but a 44 seriers driven pulley.

I have a 40 series driven laying around that will work with the 44.
