torque converter

[colin]

hi. i got a manco buggy with a 5 hp on it. it works and drives fine but after 1/2 hour the new belt is showing some wear. how long should a belt last and what do you have to do to maintain the torque converter?
thanks

See here for a guide on maintaining your torque converter, as for belt wear, I'm not sure.

Assuming you don't ride the gas/brake pedal at the same time often, try to power out of ditches, or go up steep inclines an average series 20-30 belt will last 6-8 months if the clutches are properly maintained. If you have a series 40/44 assembly then the belt may last up to 3 years, typically 1-2.

If you're crazy, don't clean the clutch, and love to drive out of ditches, you'll go through a belt a week.

Make shure you put it on the right way. My friend put his on the wrong way and it wears quick like that.
