torque converter

Hello all! I am new to mini bikes, and this forum. I have had motorcycles, atvs, etc, and I'm very excited about my new warrior. I got a really good deal on a new one, and after a couple months of riding stock....its time for some juice. I need advice on the best stuff to get from top to...

A few years ago I went to the dump and in the metal pile was an old mini bike frame and wheels. I latter figured out it was a 1970 Rupp Sprint. I put a motor and clutch on it and had a little fun. I couldn't help but think how easy it would be to throw a torque converter on it like the bigger...

So right now I have my predator 212cc making more than 7 hp (maybe 11?) I have it connected to a Hilliard fury clutch, on my normal go kart I am buying an off road go kart that comes with a torque converter The converter says 7HP and lower. can i use my engine with the torque converter? or...

I have a brand new 7" driven gear for a 3/4" jackshaft. I needed a 5/8" so this never got used. Comet Torque Converter 30 Series Driven : Go Karts Parts: Racing Kart Parts: Engines: Frames: Tires: Versailles, Ohio: USA: Indoor Track: Tips: Chassis: Kits: GoKart: Briggs: Yerf Dog: Manco...

Am I correct that the old Comet company was in Richmond Indiana? I know the remnents were bought up by Certified Parts Corporation in Janesville, Wisconsin. I managed to come up with a Comet TAV2, but I think it's a nearly unused one from the original Comet. Even has the original box and...

I am rebuilding a Big Boy Tule Trooper. I have the original two speed gear box with the driven portion of the converter in place. I have a tecumseh engine with a 1" shaft. Not sure if the comet series 30 drive is the right part to match up with the driven piece I have and what belt goes with...

I'm well and truly committed to my 15hp / 420cc build, so I'm trying to offload some of the old parts to get some change and some room in my garage. I have a GTC TC2 that I ran for a month before deciding that 45mph wasn't quite enough for me. It's still in beautiful shape. I bought it as...

Need some help with a rupp TC driver unit. I've got a 1970 roadster with the original TC setup on it. The driven unit looks pretty good, but I cant tell if the driver flange/sheave profile is worn or is as it should be. Both the inner and outer flanges are tapered about 1" radially outward...

I picked up this Keystone frame. I bet my kids would like it even more if they didn't have to push each other on it to make it go. Looks like I only have 13" of height clearance to fit a motor in. Is it obvious to anyone what I should be looking for in a motor or if a common 5HP would fit...

I'm just curious to know what people have to say about this. Because out of the countless times I've seen people running a Jackshaft, its been with a TorqueConverter. My understanding is that a Jackshaft gives you better torque and groundpower because of the way the energy is transferred and...

I have some items that are from my Baja Motorsports doodlebug project. Unfortunately, other projects preempted my plans for completion. These parts are either new or have very, very little use. What I have (Doodlebug Parts - Old Mini Bikes Photo Gallery): • GTC TC2 Torque Converter • Disc...

I see that the 30 series torque converters whether genuine Comet, or GTC, or whatever are rated up to about 8hp. I have one on a stock 6.5 now. I'm planning to mod the engine. Nothing crazy, maybe upwards of 10-12 hp. How much can the 30 series really handle? Anybody have any experience...

I have a db30 with a 6.5 clone with a stock rear sprocket. What size torque converter should i get, the 10 tooth or the 12 tooth. I'm really bad when it comes to gear ratio. What are the pro's and con's with each. Thanks

I have a complete Alexander Reynolds Front Fairbanks Morse Torque Conveter/Clutch Assembly with back Torque/Pulley along with Jackshaft, 9 tooth drive gear, bearings for frame, lock nuts and drive belt. This is the clomplete set up that came off a 1970's AR-1 model. A bit of New Jersey...

Hey all, Looking for a comet or equivelent, 3/4" driver for a MTD trailflite. Bike came originally with a Fairbanks - Morse unit, and currently has a cheap Comet knockoff that doesn't engage properly. I am also looking for a manifold to adapt a Mikuni 22 to a 5hp Briggs flathead. If able...

Hi im new to this forum and i needed help dissasembling my torque converter.I have a 4hp tescumseh power sport and i need to know how to take the whole thing apart to paint the frame. Any help would be greatly apreciated. thanks!

I'm trying to decide how to set up my gx390 on my minibike. I need to decide on whether to use a torque converter like the comet 40 series or a quality dry clutch like the Red Hawk. I plan on using the bike for street drag runs on the weekends and will be using a jackshaft to keep the engine...

Hi, I have a Tri-Sport, a T-555, and hopefully another Tri-sport this week. All three have the driven comet clutch, but I need the engine mounted portion. Does anyone have or know of a source for these? I have engines and had the clutch at my dads shop. But that was 20 years ago...

Hello all, I am looking for a couple things for a DB30 that I just picked up... I need to know where I can get a torque converter for it (and what model for the 97cc engine) I also would like to know where a good place to get a 6.5hp clone motor Thanks for the help!
