Torq-a-verter

Ok.

I've been searching.

You guys convinced me.



Can I keep my 72T drive sprocket?
Which TAV do I get for my HF6.5?
Who has the cheapest/best deal?

 

[Affair_driven]

Is there not a problem with mounting these to a clone?
Or has this problem been solved?
I was under the impression they could only be mounted straight down. Is this correct?

Good questions...I have no idea.

If I have to mount it straight down, that might cause some problems..hah

This is my main reason for avoiding them. Perhaps someone else knows better?

 

[jetlag]

Come on..surely someone can help us

All this talk of TAV FTW!!!11!!!! and no replies

 

[r_chez_08]

and me! i want a tcv but im not sure how to set it up. also, i cant find 1/2" chain in the uk cheaply

What do you mean by straight down, are you talking about a vertical crank???

theo

 

[Affair_driven]

No.
Pulleys, one over the other. As opposed to driven pulley being rearward of crank driver.

 

[theo]

Sure it will work.

[Affair_driven]

I'm told it won't. Who's right?

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

I've heard it will work but it will have to be mounted one on top of the other (vertical)

 

[theo]

If you use a tav then you can only mount it so that the backing plate can bolt to the block, but if you use a 20 series then you can put the jack shaft any where as long as you can get a belt to fit.

Well the thread said Torque a verter, so i figured thats what we were arguing about.

The TAV-2-30 Torque Averter will mount straight back on a GX200 or a GX200 clone. Some minor clearencing on the jackshaft support ribs will be needed to clear the rear oil fill on the sidecover though. Personally on my kart I just mounted mine vertically.

 

[Affair_driven]

Just to be clear, this is what I'm talking about.
Sorry about the poor illustration, but I think you get the idea.
I have been led to believe that this is the only way it can be mounted:

But I do not have to use a jackshaft, correct?

Correct. Its a fully contained unit. Takes about 5 minutes to bolt onto the engine with 4, 5/16" x 24 bolts. I tried to get the best picture I could get without natural day light. Jerry has mounted the same converter towards the FRONT of the GX200 clone engine before.

 

[spilde24]

on northerntool.com under gokart parts and then torque converters it says this "Weatherproof system is completely mechanical and can be mounted in any position."

 

[jr dragster T]

Ehh.....When my belt gets when shes pretty slippery. It slips the belt like mad then it just grabs and goes.

 

[jetlag]

I hope it's worth the money!

I want my kart to have a nice kick of torque.
