Review on 🏎️ GO-KART 1" Torque Converter Clutch: CVT Comet TAV2 30-75, 12T #35 and 10T #40 41 Chain - Manco 8HP-13HP Belt Drive (218353A) by Donald Phillips

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works but needs modification for Predator 420 13HP.

Looks like a good product, the parts are quite heavy. I installed it on a Predator 420 engine but had to go to a hardware store and buy bolts as the mounting bolts and also the crankshaft bolts did not fit my engine. I also had to drill out the special washer that attaches the drive unit to the crankshaft to accommodate the larger bolt my crankshaft needed. I had to cut off one of the backing flanges on the back of the jackshaft to clear the oil filler neck and also cut off some of the engine mount flange to allow it to sit flush with the engine block. Also had to purchase and use a couple of 1" washers to use as shims to properly align the drive and driven units. Haven't ridden it on my kart yet as it's still under construction but I'm giving it 2 stars for the product as I had to make so many modifications to get it to fit and fit properly 1 star for the user friendly installation As a mechanic have I figured out what was needed fairly quickly, but someone with less experience might not be able to.

Pros
  • Solid finish
Cons
  • Damaged
