Hey everybody, I got a new engine (Powefist 196cc) a while back and put it on my mini baja. I put the torque converter from my old engine on the new one but something seems to be going wrong. Whenever I get the engine running, the torque converter is engaged all the way no matter how much throttle I give it or whether it's on choke or run. I don't know if this is related or not, but the handlebars are also vibrating like crazy. The torque converter is just made by OMB warehouse and fits a 3/4 bore. Thanks in advance for any ideas of the problem!

Take it all apart and clean and re-lubricate.....
Make sure the engine is also not running away by itself, as in the throttle is being pulled or something like that..

Off hand I think it is a dry graphite lubricant... Im not the greatest with the TC info... But I know it requires frequent maintenance.....
