    I was building a bar stool racer but changed it to a lawn tractor kart because of the lower center of gravity. I got a torque converter & I'm anxious to see how well it works. Thanks for the tutorial.

    Good job ... All I gotta say is get rid of the music.. I felt like your were sending off to a commercial the whole time.. only use music on the intro.. other than that 🤘🤘🤘

    there is a reason those converters comes with multi holes so you can move up or down it dosen't have to be in the center holes, unless its hitting the engine your making overly complicated

    Yeah they work well. If you wanted you could get springs to lower the engagement RPM. I run a yellow spring in the driven in the tightest hole on my minibike. Under full throttle it keeps the RPM higher before the belt shift.

      I thought you could adjust the driven by the amount of torque on the nut.
      On another video they said that was the adjustment.
      That's why there was NO torque specs for that nut!

    Great job. I wish there were torque converters and Amazon when I was a kid. Did you consider using 4 quarter inch spacers (or a few flat washers) to give your sprocket bolts clearance instead of plywood which could shrink or mold over time? Great job, anyway. Nice shop too. Did your dad hand you a rake (after yelling at you) to smooth your donut tracks in the driveway of garage?

    Could you clock the plate up for clearance? Instead of plywood. Glad you got it fixed

    • @ikesgarage05
      @ikesgarage05  Před rokem +2

      No, because the jack shaft for the driven pulley sticks out on the back side a couple inches. and it would hit the engine.

      No because the back side of the mounting plate has supports for the jack shaft and it would be in the way of the engine

      I don’t really know where that hub came from because it was on the go kart when I got it. But if you need a new hub you can buy them off of Amazon, just make sure that they are for the right diameter axle.

      The cheap Chinese ones work great and every component is available individually if it ever breaks. Just keep in mind the more you pay the better quality. I bought the cheapest one I could find then replaced the mounting plate with a reinforced stainless steel one.
