All of the Comet TC's i've had in my life have come mounted to OHV Tecumseh's. These motors seem to have an extended crank so that the whole driver sits flush with the end. I noticed the length of the crank on my clone is 2 5/16 as is the one on another utility type OHH5.5 Tec.. how are you guys running torque convertors on these type of shafts?
TC's on a Clone motor.. wrong shaft?

The crank on my 6.5 clone could be at least 1/2" longer but I still run it no probelem.
How do you keep the face of the driver on the shaft? The internal hub is supposed to slide totally onto the shaft and then the flat sides fit the outer face and get tightened down. if there is a gap it could throw it off and start wobbling/self destruct.

? Now you got me thinking about what I did with my T/C Clone combo....
I remember I had to rotate the secondary ahead of the motor for it to work, because the bearing/axle for the secondary was interfering with the cylinder of the clone. I don't recall any problem(s) with bolting the primary clutch up to it, though.

There is a gap between the outside face cover and the end of the crank. Its normall.
I know it shouldnt slide on the shaft. I just remember trying to put it on a motor that didnt have the lengthened shaft. All that was holding the face on was the tension of the crank bolt. Usually you should be able to just see the end of the crank inside the hub. I'll have to try it and see how far off it is.
Jerry, you are saying you had to run the driven forward of the motor instead of the traditional setup? I hope that isnt needed because i just want to plop this in place of a Tec OHV motor.

On a GX200 clone the rear oil fill gets in the way of some casting ribs near the jackshaft support on the back plate of the TAV-2-30. You have grind off some of those ribs if you REALY need to mount the conveter straight back off the motor. I mounted mine vertical.

What Tyler says. I also did it that way because of the kart I put it on.
