Torque converter not engaging

[mdj89]

I have a yerf dog 3203 with a 40 series comet torque converter. I am on my 3rd torque converter and for some reason they only last so long. It dosent engaged when I accelerate as in the kart dosent move at all. Do you have to keep those torque converts lubricated an if so do I use regular WD 40 or a dry lube? Thanks.

What's the gearing and tire size?
You're probably smoking the belt.
Don't waste money on new TCs every time!
Sheesh, you're ~$1,000+ in the hole!
You don't need to and shouldn't lube it usually.

Ya cleaning and lubricating is required often....
DRY LUBE ONLY...

Here is a primmer on that...

The gearing and everything is fine...everything's stock. And the belt is fine also. Just the torque converter.

Well your missing a bearing, and where’s your driven?

And the chain is off.....
There needs to be a second bearing on the jackshaft, and onto that jackshaft the driven pulley needs to slide on. The belt goes between the pulleys, and the chain attaches to a sprocket on the driven.
