Torque Converter Alignment Is Off

[Cosbro]

Hello forums. I have a Manco Dingo SE (the front panel says dingo se) and a 6.0hp 195cc (clone?) motor. I have a Comet Industries Series 30 torque converter which needs cleaning. The drive pulley seems to be out farther than the driven pulley. I will post pictures after I'm done cleaning the (clutch?).

Sorry if I sound like a retard, I know nothing about go karts.

Simple fix, File down the crank spacer until they line up, or space the driven out using washers until they line up.

And for the engine if it is a 196cc, 212cc and I think 208cc its a Honda clone. If it is a 195cc OHH60, its a Tecumseh, which is not a clone.

Here's a Honda clone.

This one has had the governor removed.

And here's a 12 year old Tecumseh OHH60 that I have.

I don't really have a better picture of this one.

Thank you so much. I was thinking about using washers, but I didn't know if it would harm something. It is most likely a Tecumseh, I just couldn't find a branding on it anywhere. My motor looks just like your OHH60.

Just make sure that the chain alignment is correct after you install the washers.

I will. Your fix makes sense. Thank You.

I'll agree that the 196cc is a clone of a honda gx200, but if it is a 212 or 208 then it is not a clone. Clone engines are copies of Honda's and you can use Honda parts as replacement parts. Calling a 212 a clone will get you in trouble when you try to order parts. For example you can't use a clone camshaft in a non-hemi 212. You can't use clone flywheel on a hemi 212.... Obviously you can't use a clone piston in a 212.

The 212 or 208 is based off the Honda engine. They are similar, but not clones.
