I currently have a two speed jack shaft set up on my go kart. I'm running a modified gx160 probaly pushing up to 9 or 10 hp with 16 tall inch tires. I smoked my clutch today trying to get out of a small ditch. I'm wondering if i shoud get a tav30 for my kart or cvt in general? im running a 61 tooth gear on the axle.
Which CVT would be best?

I would say the tav 30 because of the given overdrive. And you will see a difference in tourqe.

Series 30 would work just fine. With a 61tooth gear on the axle given its 1/2 in pitch i'd run a 10 or 11 tooth sprocket on the jackshaft.

10 and then it would just about be 6:1
i was think of getting one of those ones where driven and driver pulleys copies but everything else on the torque converter is genuine comet should be ok right? i'm think im gunna need the comet to have ratio of more then 2:1 in order to get those big tires movin

Yeah, BMI seems to be selling those very reasonable. The clutches don't seem bad. Yeah, you'll be fine once you get the torque converter.
