what kinda torque converter do I need

[dave1701]

I wanna run a tecumseh 5 with a torqe converter with a somewhat heavy kart. I want to be able to putz around thats why I want a torque converter. I want to be able to go slowly up hills and stuff. Would a TAV do that for me or do I need something more?

id get a 30 series

 

[dave1701]

why?

 

[r97]

its the same thing, i don't think comet tav or 30 series are really availible any more, you may want to consider gtc's version of the tav/30 series

thats what I was thinking. Will a toque converter blow up if I do something stupid and try to drag a load of bricks up a hill?

no but you could just burn the belt

You can break the driven clutch under strain but the main thing that breaks is the belt really.

"strain" is like real strain right? Like, it doesnt usually happen
