• Go-kart Torque Converter Ratios

Assemble the Drive Wheel and Mount it to the KartThe go kart drive wheel assembly is what is used to move the kart, and to transfer braking force to the ground. Install the Go Kart Clutch on the Engine ShaftThe clutch will slide right onto the engine shaft. Align the 3/4″ bore go kart clutch to the go kart axle. Make sure you put the 3/16″ key in the clutch, then slide it onto the shaft. A 5/16″ flat washer should be inserted over the end of the engine shaft and a 5/16-24 (fine thread)x 1 1/4″ bolt is typically used to secure washer and clutch to the engine shaft for most 5-7hp 3/4″ shaft engines(e.g. Harbor freight 212cc engine used here).

Some clutches come with threaded holes for set screws as well. If your clutch comes with holes for set screws, use an Allen wrench and set screw(s) to secure the clutch to the shaft. Mount the Engine to the PlateThe go kart engine mounting bolts are 5/16-18 x 1 1/2″ bolts. Insert all four of them into the motor mount, and secure them with the four 5/16-18 serrated flange nuts. Make sure you have the engine slid rearward on the slots. As the chain stretches over time, you will need to move it slightly forward so it is important that the engines default position provides for maximum travel forward.After you have the engine secured to the go kart motor mounting plate, line up the clutch with the drive wheel sprocket with a straight edge.

The face of the sprocket should line up with the face of the clutch’s drive sprocket. Cut and Install the ChainLay the chain across the drive wheel sprocket and the clutch sprocket. The chain that comes in the is a few links too long, so you will need to shorten with your angle grinder. I marked the link that needed to be cut out, then cut off the top of the pin and link, then removed it with a hammer. I did this all from a bench vise. You can also remove pins with a small nail and hammer, or a special tool called a chain breaker.Once you have the chain cut to length, insert the master link clip. I wrote an article about how to if you aren’t sure how to do it.

We @ Sheba Shrine club “Knight Riders” have 10 Go Karts that we use in parades.The delema we have is when driving in parades its a full time job trying to avoid manhole covers and road holes and large cracks if in the event we do make contact a cover etc we destroy our drive chainsWe are using 410 350 5 tires, how do we overcome this problem we break 2 or 3 chains per outing.Are there larger tires or mabe 6″ rim with the same bolt patern as the 5″ rim??? We have 4 belt drine units they are OK but to switch the other units to belt drive is cost prohibitive!Your suggestion would be greatly apreciatedThanks in advanceDave. Usually a 10t clutch is for a #40/41/420 (1/2″ pitch) chain. Usually a 12t clutch is for #35 chain (3/8″ pitch). It’s not exclusively like that, but for the most part it follows the trend. As a rule of thumb, for your size engine, and a centrifugal clutch, you want to gear around 24 mph at 3600 rpm.

That translates into about a 6:1 gear ratio (axle teeth / clutch teeth). It is also important to see what size tires you have. If the tires are bigger than 16″, you probably need a 30 series torque converter. If the tires are smaller or equal to 16″ diameter, you should be ok with a standard centrifugal clutch for driving around on relatively flat surfaces. $20 is the cheap clutch and $80-$100 is the long lasting heavy duty clutch (anywhere online this is true).

Back in 1998, GokartsUSA's initial testing of the GTC Torque Converter proved highly successful. The TC2 was road tested on a Little Bad Ass Minichopper with a 5hp Tecumseh Engine. The TC2 model 1002 was used which has a 3/4' Bore and #40/41P Chain.

The performance impressed our technicians. The low end power and torque was strong enough to raise the front wheel with just barely applying the throttle. Take off and acceleration was also remarkably impressive. Taking on a steep hill from a complete stop, the TC2 smoothly down shifted and pulled the 200 pound rider up the hill with ease. On level ground, at maximum throttle, the TC2 shifted into a very high overdrive ratio and gave us an impressive top speed of 52mph from this stock 5hp Tecumseh.

All in all, the TC2 performed significantly better than the stock TAV2 the bike originally came with. The TC2 is a High Performance asymmetrical torque converter system in which the sheave faces have different angles. The system operates with the torque sensing cam in an outboard position allowing for in-line operation of the unit. The primary benefit of this design is that it allows proper alignment of the final drive chain to be on the same side of the vehicle as the torque converter. Moreover, the angle on the movable sheave being set at 18 degrees enables the unit to raise the belt to a larger pitch diameter with less travel of the sheave. This allows the unit to achieve higher overdrive ratios at maximum RPM In-Line Operation Powerful Low Ratio Smooth Shifting on Load Demand Infinite High / Low Ratios High Performance Overdrive. WARNING: Serious injury or death can result from improper installation or operation of this product.

Children under the age of 16 should not operate vehicles with this product installed. Do not operate the TC2 without a cover, chain and belt guard device designed specifically for your vehicle (not supplied). Long hair or loose clothing can become entangled with moving parts and cause serious injury or death. Engines and moving parts can become hot and cause burns.

I am writing this review to let other's know, if you are looking for a torque converter, this is it. I have installed and used comet torque converters in the past. While they were also very good, the GTC brand is actually better. The mounting plate is machined aluminum, the cover is also much better. I saw several websites still showing the old comet TC but they don't have any in stock.

GTC is the way to go. They perform very well. Home Run on this oneTorque Converters 1001 TC2. Bore, 12 Teeth, #35 chain, 2-7 HP Engines. Fully Compatible with Comet. 218352A TAV2.
